// * a boolean to indicate success/failure of the operation
	// * an error on failure of lock request operation.
	RLock(ctx context.Context, args LockArgs) (bool, error)

	// Do write lock for given LockArgs. It should return
	// * a boolean to indicate success/failure of the operation
	// * an error on failure of lock request operation.
	Lock(ctx context.Context, args LockArgs) (bool, error)

And we can add a list of `dependencies` that will be added to all the *path operations* in the router and will be executed/solved for each request made to them.

/// tip

In this case, the task function will write to a file (simulating sending an email).

And as the write operation doesn't use `async` and `await`, we define the function with normal `def`:

{* ../../docs_src/background_tasks/tutorial001.py hl[6:9] *}

## Add the background task

Inside of your *path operation function*, pass your task function to the *background tasks* object with the method `.add_task()`:

... das liegt daran, dass der Client-Generator für jede *Pfadoperation* die OpenAPI-interne **Operation-ID** verwendet.

OpenAPI erfordert, dass jede Operation-ID innerhalb aller *Pfadoperationen* eindeutig ist. Daher verwendet FastAPI den **Funktionsnamen**, den **Pfad** und die **HTTP-Methode/-Operation**, um diese Operation-ID zu generieren. Denn so kann sichergestellt werden, dass die Operation-IDs eindeutig sind.

// This function will block till the operation that produces `h` has completed.
TF_CAPI_EXPORT extern int64_t TFE_TensorHandleDim(TFE_TensorHandle* h,
                                                  int dim_index,
                                                  TF_Status* status);

// Returns the device of the operation that produced `h`. If `h` was produced by

Voici notre "**fonction de chemin**" (ou fonction d'opération de chemin) :

* **chemin** : `/`.
* **opération** : `get`.
* **fonction** : la fonction sous le "décorateur" (sous `@app.get("/")`).

```Python hl_lines="7"
{!../../docs_src/first_steps/tutorial001.py!}
```

C'est une fonction Python.

Elle sera appelée par **FastAPI** quand une requête sur l'URL `/` sera reçue via une opération `GET`.

It is just a function that can take all the same parameters that a *path operation function* can take:

{* ../../docs_src/dependencies/tutorial001_an_py310.py hl[8:9] *}

That's it.

**2 lines**.

And it has the same shape and structure that all your *path operation functions* have.

You can think of it as a *path operation function* without the "decorator" (without the `@app.get("/some-path")`).

```Python hl_lines="30-32"
{!> ../../docs_src/security/tutorial002.py!}

## Recap

You can now get the current user directly in your *path operation function*.

We are already halfway there.

We just need to add a *path operation* for the user/client to actually send the `username` and `password`.

      @Override
      Object operate(Stream<?> stream) {
        return stream.parallel().reduce((a, b) -> b);
      }
    };

    abstract Object operate(Stream<?> stream);
  }

  @Param private Operation operation;

  Collection<Object> collection;

  @BeforeExperiment
  void setUp() {
    collection = source.supplier.get();
    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
      collection.add(new Object());
    }
  }

Ein „Pfad“ wird häufig auch als „Endpunkt“ oder „Route“ bezeichnet.

///

Bei der Erstellung einer API ist der „Pfad“ die wichtigste Möglichkeit zur Trennung von „Anliegen“ und „Ressourcen“.

#### Operation

„Operation“ bezieht sich hier auf eine der HTTP-„Methoden“.

Eine von diesen:

* `POST`
* `GET`
* `PUT`
* `DELETE`

... und die etwas Exotischeren:

* `OPTIONS`
* `HEAD`
* `PATCH`
