/**
* @defgroup asys The async syscall library
*
* This module contains a set of asynchronous functions that directly
* wrap normally synchronous posix system calls. The reason for this
* module's existence is the limited set of operations the posix async
* I/O API provides.
*
* The basic flow of operations is:
*
* The application creates a asys_context structure using
* asys_context_create()
*
* The application triggers a call to the library by calling for
* example asys_ftruncate(). asys_ftruncate() takes a private_data
* argument that will be returned later by asys_result. The calling
* application should hand a pointer representing the async operation
* to the private_data argument.
*
* The application puts the fd returned by asys_signalfd() into its
* event loop. When the signal fd becomes readable, the application
* calls asys_result() to grab the final result of one of the system
* calls that were issued in the meantime.
*
* For multi-user applications it is necessary to create different
* credential contexts, as it is not clear when exactly the real
* system call will be issued. The application might have called
* seteuid(2) or something equivalent in the meantime. Thus, all
* system calls doing access checks, in particular all calls doing
* path-based operations, require a struct auth_creds_context
* parameter. asys_creds_context_create() creates such a context. All
* credential-checking operations take a struct asys_creds_context as
* an argument. It can be NULL if the application never changes
* credentials.
