/**
 * @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.
