32 * @short_description: I/O Scheduler
33 * @include: gio/gio.h
35 * Schedules asynchronous I/O operations. #GIOScheduler integrates
36 * into the main event loop (#GMainLoop) and may use threads if they
37 * are available.
39 * <para id="io-priority"><indexterm><primary>I/O priority</primary></indexterm>
40 * Each I/O operation has a priority, and the scheduler uses the priorities
41 * to determine the order in which operations are executed. They are
42 * <emphasis>not</emphasis> used to determine system-wide I/O scheduling.
43 * Priorities are integers, with lower numbers indicating higher priority.
44 * It is recommended to choose priorities between %G_PRIORITY_LOW and
45 * %G_PRIORITY_HIGH, with %G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT as a default.
