An asynchronous request is typically used to start an operation on a device +that completes at a later point of time. It returns immediately after starting +the operation on the device or making a request to the driver. The user side +thread is not blocked and can continue with other operations, including issuing +other requests (synchronous or asynchronous).

+

A driver lists the available asynchronous request types in an enumeration.
