/**
 * SECTION: camel-async-closure
 * @short_description: Run asynchronous functions synchronously
 * @include: camel/camel.h
 *
 * #CamelAsyncClosure provides a simple way to run an asynchronous function
 * synchronously without blocking the current thread.
 *
 * 1) Create a #CamelAsyncClosure with camel_async_closure_new().
 *
 * 2) Call the asynchronous function passing camel_async_closure_callback()
 *    as the #GAsyncReadyCallback argument and the #CamelAsyncClosure as the
 *    data argument.
 *
 * 3) Call camel_async_closure_wait() and collect the #GAsyncResult.
 *
 * 4) Call the corresponding asynchronous "finish" function, passing the
 *    #GAsyncResult returned by camel_async_closure_wait().
 *
 * 5) If needed, repeat steps 2-4 for additional asynchronous functions
 *    using the same #CamelAsyncClosure.
 *
 * 6) Finally, free the #CamelAsyncClosure with camel_async_closure_free().
