+ * @defgroup tevent_request The tevent request functions.
+ * @ingroup tevent
+ *
+ * A tevent_req represents an asynchronous computation.
+ *
+ * The tevent_req group of API calls is the recommended way of
+ * programming async computations within tevent. In particular the
+ * file descriptor (tevent_add_fd) and timer (tevent_add_timed) events
+ * are considered too low-level to be used in larger computations. To
+ * read and write from and to sockets, Samba provides two calls on top
+ * of tevent_add_fd: tstream_read_packet_send/recv and tstream_writev_send/recv.
+ * These requests are much easier to compose than the low-level event
+ * handlers called from tevent_add_fd.
+ *
+ * A lot of the simplicity tevent_req has brought to the notoriously
+ * hairy async programming came via a set of conventions that every
+ * async computation programmed should follow. One central piece of
+ * these conventions is the naming of routines and variables.
+ *
+ * Every async computation needs a name (sensibly called "computation"
+ * down from here). From this name quite a few naming conventions are
+ * derived.
+ *
+ * Every computation that requires local state needs a
+ * @code
+ * struct computation_state {
+ * int local_var;
+ * };
+ * @endcode
+ * Even if no local variables are required, such a state struct should
+ * be created containing a dummy variable. Quite a few helper
+ * functions and macros (for example tevent_req_create()) assume such
+ * a state struct.
+ *
+ * An async computation is started by a computation_send
+ * function. When it is finished, its result can be received by a
+ * computation_recv function. For an example how to set up an async
+ * computation, see the code example in the documentation for
+ * tevent_req_create() and tevent_req_post(). The prototypes for _send
+ * and _recv functions should follow some conventions:
+ *
+ * @code
+ * struct tevent_req *computation_send(TALLOC_CTX *mem_ctx,
+ * struct tevent_context *ev,
+ * ... further args);
+ * int computation_recv(struct tevent_req *req, ... further output args);
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * The "int" result of computation_recv() depends on the result the
+ * sync version of the function would have, "int" is just an example
+ * here.
+ *
+ * Another important piece of the conventions is that the program flow
+ * is interrupted as little as possible. Because a blocking
+ * sub-computation requires that the flow needs to continue in a
+ * separate function that is the logical sequel of some computation,
+ * it should lexically follow sending off the blocking
+ * sub-computation. Setting the callback function via
+ * tevent_req_set_callback() requires referencing a function lexically
+ * below the call to tevent_req_set_callback(), forward declarations
+ * are required. A lot of the async computations thus begin with a
+ * sequence of declarations such as
+ *
+ * @code
+ * static void computation_step1_done(struct tevent_req *subreq);
+ * static void computation_step2_done(struct tevent_req *subreq);
+ * static void computation_step3_done(struct tevent_req *subreq);
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * It really helps readability a lot to do these forward declarations,
+ * because the lexically sequential program flow makes the async
+ * computations almost as clear to read as a normal, sync program
+ * flow.
+ *
+ * It is up to the user of the async computation to talloc_free it
+ * after it has finished. If an async computation should be aborted,
+ * the tevent_req structure can be talloc_free'ed. After it has
+ * finished, it should talloc_free'ed by the API user.
+ *
+ * tevent_req variable naming conventions:
+ *
+ * The name of the variable pointing to the tevent_req structure
+ * returned by a _send() function SHOULD be named differently between
+ * implementation and caller.
+ *
+ * From the point of view of the implementation (of the _send() and
+ * _recv() functions) the variable returned by tevent_req_create() is
+ * always called @em req.
+ *
+ * While the caller of the _send() function should use @em subreq to
+ * hold the result.
+ *
+ * @see tevent_req_create()
+ * @see tevent_req_fn()

+ * @ingroup tevent
+ *
+ *
+ * The call depth tracking consists of two parts.
+ *
+ * Part 1 - storing the depth inside each tevent request.
+ *
+ * Each instance of 'struct tevent_req' internally stores the value of the
+ * current depth. If a new subrequest is created via tevent_req_create(), the
+ * newly created subrequest gets the value from the parent incremented by 1.
+ *
+ * Part 2 - updating external variable with the call depth of the currently
+ * processed tevent request.
+ *
+ * The intended use of call depth is for the trace indentation. This is done
+ * by registering the address of an external size_t variable via
+ * tevent_thread_call_depth_activate(). And the tracing code just reads it's
+ * value.
+ *
+ * The updates happen during:
+ *
+ * tevent_req_create()
+ * - external variable is set to the value of the newly created request (i.e.
+ * value of the parent incremented by 1)
+ *
+ * tevent_req_notify_callback()
+ * - external variable is set to the value of the parent tevent request, which
+ * is just about to be processed
+ *
+ * tevent_queue_immediate_trigger()
+ * - external variable is set to the value of the request coming from the queue
+ *
+ *
+ * While 'Part 1' maintains the call depth value inside each teven request
+ * precisely, the value of the external variable depends on the call flow and
+ * can be changed after return from a function call, so it no longer matches
+ * the value of the request being processed in the current function.
+ *
+ * @code
+ * struct tevent_req *foo_send(TALLOC_CTX *mem_ctx, struct tevent_context *ev)
+ * {
+ * struct tevent_req *req, *subreq;
