Chapter 2 - File Manager / File Manager Reference
Application-Defined Routines


Completion Routines

Most low-level File Manager routines can be executed either synchronously (that
is, the application can't continue until the routine is completed) or asynchronously
(that is, the application is free to perform other tasks while the routine is executing). Some routines, however, can only be executed synchronously because they use the Memory Manager to allocate and release memory.

When you execute a routine asynchronously, you can specify a completion routine that the File Manager executes after the completion of the call.
