8. Notice that this *path operation function* uses regular `def` instead of `async def`.

    As always, in FastAPI you can combine `def` and `async def` as needed.

    If you need a refresher about when to use which, check out the section _"In a hurry?"_ in the docs about [`async` and `await`](../async.md#in-a-hurry){.internal-link target=_blank}.

* `close()`: 파일을 닫습니다.

상기 모든 메소드들이 `async` 메소드이기 때문에 “await”을 사용하여야 합니다.

예를들어, `async` *경로 작동 함수*의 내부에서 다음과 같은 방식으로 내용을 가져올 수 있습니다:

```Python
contents = await myfile.read()
```

만약 일반적인 `def` *경로 작동 함수*의 내부라면, 다음과 같이 `UploadFile.file` 에 직접 접근할 수 있습니다:

```Python
contents = myfile.file.read()
```

!!! note  "`async` 기술적 세부사항"
    `async` 메소드들을 사용할 때 **FastAPI**는 스레드풀에서 파일 메소드들을 실행하고 그들을 기다립니다.

!!! tip
    If you want to call `async` functions in your tests apart from sending requests to your FastAPI application (e.g. asynchronous database functions), have a look at the [Async Tests](../advanced/async-tests.md){.internal-link target=_blank} in the advanced tutorial.

## Separating tests

In diesem Fall handelt es sich um eine `async`-Funktion.

Sie könnten sie auch als normale Funktion anstelle von `async def` definieren:

```Python hl_lines="7"
{!../../../docs_src/first_steps/tutorial003.py!}
```

!!! note "Hinweis"
    Wenn Sie den Unterschied nicht kennen, lesen Sie [Async: *„In Eile?“*](../async.md#in-eile){.internal-link target=_blank}.

<details markdown="1">
<summary>Albo użyj <code>async def</code>...</summary>

Jeżeli twój kod korzysta z `async` / `await`, użyj `async def`:

```Python hl_lines="9  14"
from typing import Union

from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()


@app.get("/")
async def read_root():
    return {"Hello": "World"}


@app.get("/items/{item_id}")

<details markdown="1">
<summary>Или используйте <code>async def</code>...</summary>

Если ваш код использует `async` / `await`, используйте `async def`:

```Python hl_lines="9  14"
from typing import Union

from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()


@app.get("/")
async def read_root():
    return {"Hello": "World"}


@app.get("/items/{item_id}")

<details markdown="1">
<summary>Oppure usa <code>async def</code>...</summary>

Se il tuo codice usa `async` / `await`, allora usa `async def`:

```Python hl_lines="7  12"
from fastapi import FastAPI
from typing import Optional

app = FastAPI()


@app.get("/")
async def read_root():
    return {"Hello": "World"}


@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
async def read_item(item_id: int, q: Optional[str] = None):

```

<details markdown="1">
<summary>或者使用 <code>async def</code>...</summary>

如果你的代码里会出现 `async` / `await`，请使用 `async def`：

```Python hl_lines="9  14"
from typing import Union

from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()


@app.get("/")
async def read_root():
    return {"Hello": "World"}


@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
async def read_item(item_id: int, q: Union[str, None] = None):

In this case, it is an `async` function.

---

You could also define it as a normal function instead of `async def`:

```Python hl_lines="7"
{!../../../docs_src/first_steps/tutorial003.py!}
```

!!! note
    If you don't know the difference, check the [Async: *"In a hurry?"*](../async.md#in-a-hurry){.internal-link target=_blank}.
