* @defgroup tevent_request The tevent request functions.
* @ingroup tevent
*
- * This represents an async request being processed by callbacks via an event
- * context. A user can issue for example a write request to a socket, giving
- * an implementation function the fd, the buffer and the number of bytes to
- * transfer. The function issuing the request will immediately return without
- * blocking most likely without having sent anything. The API user then fills
- * in req->async.fn and req->async.private_data, functions that are called
- * when the request is finished.
+ * A tevent_req represents an asynchronous computation.
*
- * It is up to the user of the async request to talloc_free it after it has
- * finished. This can happen while the completion function is called.
+ * The tevent_req group of API calls is the recommended way of
+ * programming async computations within tevent. In particular the
+ * file descriptor (tevent_add_fd) and timer (tevent_add_timed) events
+ * are considered too low-level to be used in larger computations. To
+ * read and write from and to sockets, Samba provides two calls on top
+ * of tevent_add_fd: tstream_read_packet_send/recv and tstream_writev_send/recv.
+ * These requests are much easier to compose than the low-level event
+ * handlers called from tevent_add_fd.
+ *
+ * A lot of the simplicity tevent_req has brought to the notoriously
+ * hairy async programming came via a set of conventions that every
+ * async computation programmed should follow. One central piece of
+ * these conventions is the naming of routines and variables.
+ *
+ * Every async computation needs a name (sensibly called "computation"
+ * down from here). From this name quite a few naming conventions are
+ * derived.
+ *
+ * Every computation that requires local state needs a
+ * @code
+ * struct computation_state {
+ * int local_var;
+ * };
+ * @endcode
+ * Even if no local variables are required, such a state struct should
+ * be created containing a dummy variable. Quite a few helper
+ * functions and macros (for example tevent_req_create()) assume such
+ * a state struct.
+ *
+ * An async computation is started by a computation_send
+ * function. When it is finished, its result can be received by a
+ * computation_recv function. For an example how to set up an async
+ * computation, see the code example in the documentation for
+ * tevent_req_create() and tevent_req_post(). The prototypes for _send
+ * and _recv functions should follow some conventions:
+ *
+ * @code
+ * struct tevent_req *computation_send(TALLOC_CTX *mem_ctx,
+ * struct tevent_req *ev,
+ * ... further args);
+ * int computation_recv(struct tevent_req *req, ... further output args);
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * The "int" result of computation_recv() depends on the result the
+ * sync version of the function would have, "int" is just an example
+ * here.
+ *
+ * Another important piece of the conventions is that the program flow
+ * is interrupted as little as possible. Because a blocking
+ * sub-computation requires that the flow needs to continue in a
+ * separate function that is the logical sequel of some computation,
+ * it should lexically follow sending off the blocking
+ * sub-computation. Setting the callback function via
+ * tevent_req_set_callback() requires referencing a function lexically
+ * below the call to tevent_req_set_callback(), forward declarations
+ * are required. A lot of the async computations thus begin with a
+ * sequence of declarations such as
+ *
+ * @code
+ * static void computation_step1_done(struct tevent_req *subreq);
+ * static void computation_step2_done(struct tevent_req *subreq);
+ * static void computation_step3_done(struct tevent_req *subreq);
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * It really helps readability a lot to do these forward declarations,
+ * because the lexically sequential program flow makes the async
+ * computations almost as clear to read as a normal, sync program
+ * flow.
+ *
+ * It is up to the user of the async computation to talloc_free it
+ * after it has finished. If an async computation should be aborted,
+ * the tevent_req structure can be talloc_free'ed. After it has
+ * finished, it should talloc_free'ed by the API user.
+ *
+ * tevent_req variable naming conventions:
+ *
+ * The name of the variable pointing to the tevent_req structure
+ * returned by a _send() function SHOULD be named differently between
+ * implementation and caller.
+ *
+ * From the point of view of the implementation (of the _send() and
+ * _recv() functions) the variable returned by tevent_req_create() is
+ * always called @em req.
+ *
+ * While the caller of the _send() function should use @em subreq to
+ * hold the result.

+ * @see tevent_req_create()

+ * @brief Prepare the environment of a (wrapper) event context.
+ *
+ * A caller might call this before passing a wrapper event context
+ * to a tevent_req based *_send() function.
+ *
+ * The wrapper event context might do something like impersonation.
+ *
+ * tevent_context_push_use() must always be used in combination
+ * with tevent_context_pop_use().
+ *
+ * There is a global stack of currently active/busy wrapper event contexts.
+ * Each wrapper can only appear once on that global stack!
+ * The stack size is limited to 32 elements, which should be enough
+ * for all useful scenarios.
+ *
+ * In addition to an explicit tevent_context_push_use() also
+ * the invocation of an immediate, timer or fd handler implicitly
+ * pushes the wrapper on the stack.
+ *
+ * Therefore there are some strict constraints for the usage of
+ * tevent_context_push_use():
+ * - It must not be called from within an event handler
+ * that already acts on the wrapper.
+ * - tevent_context_pop_use() must be called before
+ * leaving the code block that called tevent_context_push_use().
+ * - The caller is responsible ensure the correct stack ordering
+ * - Any violation of these constraints results in calling
+ * the abort handler of the given tevent context.
+ *
+ * Calling tevent_context_push_use() on a raw event context
+ * still consumes an element on the stack, but it's otherwise
+ * a no-op.
+ *
+ * If tevent_context_push_use() returns false, it means
+ * that the wrapper's before_use() hook returned this failure,
+ * in that case you must not call tevent_context_pop_use() as
+ * the wrapper is not pushed onto the stack.
+ *
+ * @param[in] ev The event context to work on.
+ *
+ * @return Success (true) or failure (false).
+ *
+ * @note This is only needed if wrapper event contexts are in use.
