Async
=====

[](#async)

The `async` library provides a list of utility functions to doing basic async programming in PHP language. It makes use of PHP `Generator` to implement a co-routine platform on top of which async tasks are executed.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The library provides the following utility functions:

- async `async(callable $waitFn)`

The `async` utility provides an asynchronous function execution context for the subroutine passed as argument.

It returns a `Awaitable` instance which start the subroutine when `wait()` is invoked on it. The `wait()` statement as it will pause the script execution until the subroutine complete.
