+/**
+ * NmtSyncOp:
+ *
+ * A helper object used when synchronously waiting for an asynchronous
+ * operation to complete.
+ *
+ * The caller first does:
+ *
+ * |[
+ * NmtSyncOp op;
+ *
+ * nmt_sync_op_init (&op);
+ * ]|
+ *
+ * It then passes the op as the user_data to the async operation's
+ * callback function, and then calls nmt_sync_op_wait_boolean() or
+ * nmt_sync_op_wait_pointer() to wait for the result.
+ *
+ * When the async callback is invoked, it should call
+ * nmt_sync_op_complete_boolean() or nmt_sync_op_complete_pointer() to
+ * return a result or an error to the caller.
+ *
+ * There is no free/clear function; any memory that needs to be freed
+ * will have been returned to the caller from
+ * nmt_sync_op_wait_boolean() or nmt_sync_op_wait_pointer(), so there
+ * is nothing left that needs to be freed.
