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 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.
