# Concurrency and async / await

Details about the `async def` syntax for *path operation functions* and some background about asynchronous code, concurrency, and parallelism.

## In a hurry?

If you are using third party libraries that tell you to call them with `await`, like:

```Python
results = await some_library()
```

# Concurrencia y async / await

Detalles sobre la sintaxis `async def` para *path operation functions* y un poco de información sobre código asíncrono, concurrencia y paralelismo.

## ¿Tienes prisa?

Si estás utilizando libraries de terceros que te dicen que las llames con `await`, del tipo:

```Python
results = await some_library()
```

# Nebenläufigkeit und async / await

Details zur `async def`-Syntax für *Pfadoperation-Funktionen* und Hintergrundinformationen zu asynchronem Code, Nebenläufigkeit und Parallelität.

Wenn Sie Bibliotheken von Dritten verwenden, die mit `await` aufgerufen werden müssen, wie zum Beispiel:

```Python
results = await some_library()

* `seek(offset)`: Goes to the byte position `offset` (`int`) in the file.
    * E.g., `await myfile.seek(0)` would go to the start of the file.
    * This is especially useful if you run `await myfile.read()` once and then need to read the contents again.
* `close()`: Closes the file.

As all these methods are `async` methods, you need to "await" them.

For example, inside of an `async` *path operation function* you can get the contents with:

    try {
      // if waiting works, this should get stuck
      Queues.drain(q, newArrayList(), 1, MAX_VALUE, NANOSECONDS);
      fail();
    } catch (InterruptedException expected) {
      // we indeed waited; a slow thread had enough time to interrupt us
    }
  }

  // same as above; uninterruptible version
  @SuppressWarnings("ThreadPriorityCheck") // TODO: b/175898629 - Consider onSpinWait.

      }
    };
  }

  public Runnable awaiter(final CountDownLatch latch) {
    return new CheckedRunnable() {
      @Override
      public void realRun() throws InterruptedException {
        await(latch);
      }
    };
