DESCRIPTION
This object provides a handler for receiving asynchronous
method replies. An asynchronous reply object is generated
when making remote method call with the "dbus_call_async"
annotation set.
METHODS
$asyncreply->discard_result;
Indicates that the caller is no longer interested in
recieving the reply & that it should be discarded. After
calling this method, this object should not be used again.
$asyncreply->wait_for_result;
Blocks the caller waiting for completion of the of the
asynchronous reply. Upon returning from this method, the
result can be obtained with the "get_result" method.
my $boolean = $asyncreply->is_ready;
Returns a true value if the asynchronous reply is now
complete (or a timeout has occurred). When this method
returns true, the result can be obtained with the "get_result"
method.
$asyncreply->set_notify($coderef);
Sets a notify function which will be invoked when the
asynchronous reply finally completes. The callback will
be invoked with a single parameter which is this object.
my @data = $asyncreply->get_result;
Retrieves the data associated with the asynchronous reply.
If a timeout occurred, then this method will throw an
exception. This method can only be called once the reply
is complete, as indicated by the "is_ready"
method
returning a true value. After calling this method, this
object should no longer be used.
