*
* The Eio library is a library that implements an API for asynchronous
* input/output operation. Most operation are done in a separated thread
* to prevent lock. See @ref Eio_Group. Some helper to work on data
* received in Eio callback are also provided see @ref Eio_Helper.
* It is also possible to work asynchronously on Eina_File with @ref Eio_Map
* or on Eet_File with @ref Eio_Eet. It come with way to manipulate
* eXtended attribute assynchronously with @ref Eio_Xattr.
*
* This library is cross-platform and can be compiled and used on
* Linux, BSD, Opensolaris and Windows (XP and CE).

*
* To use eio_dir_copy(), you basically need the source and
* destination files (or directories), and set three callbacks:
*
* @li The notification callback, which allows you to know if a file or
* a directory is copied, and the progress of the copy.
* @li The end callback, which is called when the copy is finished.
* @li The error callback, which is called if an error occured. You
* can then retrieve the error type as an errno error.
*
* @warning It is the user's duty to provide the "right target". It
* means that copying to '.' will copy the content directly inside '.'
* and not in a subdirectory.
*
* Here is a simple example:
*
* @code
* #include <Ecore.h>
* #include <Eio.h>
*
* static void
* _test_notify_cb(void *data, Eio_File *handler, const Eio_Progress *info)
* {
* switch (info->op)
* {
* case EIO_FILE_COPY:
* printf("[%s] %f%%\n", info->dest, info->percent);
* break;
* case EIO_DIR_COPY:
* printf("global [%li/%li] %f%%\n", info->current, info->max, info->percent);
* break;
* }
* }
*
* static void
* _test_done_cb(void *data, Eio_File *handler)
* {
* printf("copy done\n");
* ecore_main_loop_quit();
* }
*
* static void
* _test_error_cb(int error, Eio_File *handler, void *data)
* {
* fprintf(stderr, "error: [%s]\n", strerror(error));
* ecore_main_loop_quit();
* }
*
* int
* main(int argc, char **argv)
* {
* Eio_File *cp;
*
* if (argc != 3)
* {
* fprintf(stderr, "eio_cp source_file destination_file\n");
* return -1;
* }
*
* ecore_init();
* eio_init();
*
* cp = eio_dir_copy(argv[1], argv[2],
* _test_notify_cb,
* _test_done_cb,
* _test_error_cb,
* NULL);
*

* @li The filter callback, which allow or not a file to be seen
* by the main loop handler. This callback run in a separated thread.
* @li The main callback, which receive in the main loop all the file
* that are allowed by the filter. If you are updating a user interface
* it make sense to delay the insertion a little, so you get a chance
* to update the canvas for a bunch of file instead of one by one.
* @li The end callback, which is called in the main loop when the
* content of the directory has been correctly scanned and all the
* file notified to the main loop.
* @li The error callback, which is called if an error occured or
* if the listing was cancelled during it's run. You can then retrieve
* the error type as an errno error.
