NAME

       Net::DBus::ASyncReply - asynchronous method reply handler

SYNOPSIS

         use Net::DBus::Annotation qw(:call);

         my $object = $service->get_object("/org/example/systemMonitor");

         # List processes & get on with other work until
         # the list is returned.
         my $asyncreply = $object->list_processes(dbus_call_async, "someuser");

         while (!$asyncreply->is_ready) {
           ... do some background work..
         }

         my $processes = $asyncreply->get_result;

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 receiving 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.
