+            for simple cases. Most of the time, this will be all an application needs, and will be used transparently
+            Because of this, GSimpleAsyncResult is used throughout GIO for handling asynchronous functions.

+            <link linkend="class-giosimpleasyncresult"><classname>gio.SimpleAsyncResult</classname></link>
+            handles GAsyncReadyCallbacks, error reporting, operation cancellation and the final state of an
+            operation, completely transparent to the application. Results can be returned as a pointer e.g.
+            for functions that return data that is collected asynchronously, a boolean value for checking the
+            success or failure of an operation, or a gssize for operations which return the number of bytes modified
+            by the operation; all of the simple return cases are covered. 
+        </para>
+        <para>
+            Most of the time, an application will not need to know of the details of this API; it is handled
+            transparently, and any necessary operations are handled by GAsyncResult's interface. However, if
+            implementing a new GIO module, for writing language bindings, or for complex applications that need
+            better control of how asynchronous operations are completed, it is important to understand this functionality.

+            If a GError is not available (e.g. the asynchronous operation's doesn't take a GError argument), but the result still needs
+            to be created for an error condition, use g_simple_async_result_new_error() (or g_simple_async_result_set_error_va()
+            if your application or binding requires passing a variable argument list directly), and the error can then be propegated
+            through the use of g_simple_async_result_propagate_error().
