I think you did not understand me.

What I want to do is calling open() asynchronously.
(I do not mean to open() a file and set O_NONBLOCK or O_NDELAY on it)
The problem is that the open() call can block because it has to lookup the file
and if the filesystem is NFS over a slow line it can take enough time to block the GUI.

Do you guys will accept patches to the documentation to let people know what functions
can block and should be called from another thread?

I will try to do it.
