 *
 * \section sec_async The HDF5 Event Set Interface
 *
 * \section subsec_async_intro Introduction
 * HDF5 provides asynchronous APIs for the HDF5 VOL connectors that support asynchronous HDF5
 * operations using the HDF5 Event Set (H5ES) API. This allows I/O to proceed in the background
 * while the application is performing other tasks.
 *
 * To support AIO capabilities for the HDF5 VOL connectors, the AIO versions for the functions
 * listed in the table below were added to HDF5 library version 1.14.0 and later. The async version
 * of the function has “_async” suffix added to the function name. For example, the async version
 * for H5Fcreate is H5Fcreate_async.
 *

 *
 * Async versions of the functions have an extra parameter called the event set parameter or es_id.
 * For example, compare the signatures of #H5Dclose and #H5Dclose_async:
 * \code
 * herr_t H5Dclose(hid_t dset_id);
 * herr_t H5Dclose_async(hid_t dset_id, hid_t es_id);
 * \endcode
 *
 * An event set is an in-memory object that is created by an application and used to track many
 * asynchronous operations with a single object. They function like a "bag" -- holding request
 * tokens from one or more asynchronous operations and provide a simple interface for inspecting
 * the status of the entire set of operations.
 *
 * See the \ref H5ES APIs that were added to the HDF5 library to manage event sets.

/**\defgroup H5ES Event Set Interface (H5ES)
 *
 * \todo Add the event set life cycle.
 *
 * \brief Event Set Interface
 *
 * \details \Bold{This interface can only be used with the HDF5 VOL connectors that
 *          enable the asynchronous feature in HDF5.} The native HDF5 library has
 *          only synchronous operations.
 *
 *          HDF5 VOL connectors with support for asynchronous operations:
 *          - ASYNC
 *          - DAOS
 *
 * \par Example:
 * \code
 * fid = H5Fopen(..);
 * gid = H5Gopen(fid, ..);  //Starts when H5Fopen completes
 * did = H5Dopen(gid, ..);  //Starts when H5Gopen completes
 *
 * es_id = H5EScreate();  // Create event set for tracking async operations
 * status = H5Dwrite_async(did, .., es_id);  //Asynchronous, starts when H5Dopen completes,
 *                                           // may run concurrently with other H5Dwrite_async
 *                                           // in event set.
 * status = H5Dwrite_async(did, .., es_id);  //Asynchronous, starts when H5Dopen completes,
 *                                           // may run concurrently with other H5Dwrite_async
 *                                           // in event set....
 * <other user code>
 * ...
 * H5ESwait(es_id); // Wait for operations in event set to complete, buffers
 *                  // used for H5Dwrite_async must only be changed after wait
 *                  // returns.
 * \endcode
