23  * Contains declaration of an API that allows asynchronous connection to a
24  * socket with retries.
25  *
26  * The typical usage of this API is as such:
27  *
28  * 1. The client creates an asynchronous connector instance by calling
29  *    async_socket_connector_new routine, supplying there address of the socket
30  *    to connect, and a callback to invoke on connection events.
31  * 2. The client then proceeds with calling async_socket_connector_connect that
32  *    would initiate connection attempts.
33  *
34  * The main job on the client side falls on the client's callback routine that
35  * serves the connection events. Once connection has been initiated, the connector
36  * will invoke that callback to report current connection status.
37  *
38  * In general, there are three connection events passed to the callback:
39  * 1. Success.
40  * 2. Failure.
41  * 3. Retry.
42  *
43  * Typically, when client's callback is called for a successful connection, the
44  * client will pull connected socket's FD from the connector, and then this FD
45  * will be used by the client for I/O on the connected socket.
46  *
47  * When client's callback is invoked with an error (ASIO_STATE_FAILED event), the
48  * client has an opportunity to review the error (available in 'errno'), and
49  * either abort the connection by returning ASIO_ACTION_ABORT, or schedule a retry
50  * by returning ASIO_ACTION_RETRY from the callback. If client returns ASIO_ACTION_ABORT
51  * from the callback, the connector will stop connection attempts, and will
52  * self-destruct. If ASIO_ACTION_RETRY is returned from the callback, the connector
53  * will retry connection attempt after timeout that was set by the caller in the
54  * call to async_socket_connector_new routine.
55  *
56  * When client's callback is invoked with ASIO_STATE_RETRYING (indicating that
57  * connector is about to retry a connection attempt), the client has an opportunity
58  * to cancel further connection attempts by returning ASIO_ACTION_ABORT, or it
59  * can allow another connection attempt by returning ASIO_ACTION_RETRY.
60  *
61  * Since it's hard to control lifespan of an object in asynchronous environment,
62  * we make AsyncSocketConnector a referenced object, that will self-destruct when
63  * its reference count drops to zero, indicating that the last client has
64  * abandoned that object.

96  *  instance returned from this routine will be destroyed by the connector itself,
97  *  when its work on connecting to the socket is completed. Typically, connector
