Controlling a Provider's Modes of Operation /

OTSetAsynchronous
Sets a provider to asynchronous mode.

C INTERFACE
OSStatus OTSetAsynchronous(ProviderRef ref);
C++ INTERFACE
OSStatus TProvider::SetAsynchronous();
PARAMETERS

ref
The provider reference of the provider which you want to set to asynchronous mode..
function result
An error code. See Appendix B for more information.

DISCUSSION
The OTSetAsynchronous function causes all functions for the provider specified in the ref parameter to run asynchronously. You should install a notifier function for the provider to receive completion and other events. You can install a notifier function either before or after calling the OTSetAsynchronous function.
You can call this function at any time and it will always succeed.
To set a provider to synchronous mode, call the OTSetSynchronous function. To find out a provider's current setting, call the OTIsSynchronous function.
