52 * context. A user can issue for example a write request to a socket, giving
53 * an implementation function the fd, the buffer and the number of bytes to
54 * transfer. The function issuing the request will immediately return without
55 * blocking most likely without having sent anything. The API user then fills
56 * in req->async.fn and req->async.priv, functions that are called when the
57 * request is finished.
58 *
59 * It is up to the user of the async request to talloc_free it after it has
60 * finished. This can happen while the completion function is called.
