    \class QDBusPendingReply
    \inmodule QtDBus
    \since 4.5

    \brief The QDBusPendingReply class contains the reply to an asynchronous method call

    The QDBusPendingReply is a template class with up to 8 template
    parameters. Those parameters are the types that will be used to
    extract the contents of the reply's data.

    This class is similar in functionality to QDBusReply, but with two
    important differences:

    \list
      \o QDBusReply accepts exactly one return type, whereas
         QDBusPendingReply can have from 1 to 8 types
      \o QDBusReply only works on already completed replies, whereas
         QDBusPendingReply allows one to wait for replies from pending
         calls
    \endlist

    Where with QDBusReply you would write:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_qdbus_qdbusreply.cpp 0

    with QDBusPendingReply, the equivalent code (including the blocking
    wait for the reply) would be:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src.qdbus.qdbuspendingreply.cpp 0

    For method calls that have more than one output argument, with
    QDBusReply, you would write:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_qdbus_qdbusreply.cpp 1

    whereas with QDBusPendingReply, all of the output arguments should
    be template parameters:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src.qdbus.qdbuspendingreply.cpp 2

    QDBusPendingReply objects can be associated with
    QDBusPendingCallWatcher objects, which emit signals when the reply
    arrives.

    \sa QDBusPendingCallWatcher, QDBusReply,
        QDBusAbstractInterface::asyncCall()
*/

/*!
    \fn QDBusPendingReply::QDBusPendingReply()

    Creates an empty QDBusPendingReply object. Without assigning a
    QDBusPendingCall object to this reply, QDBusPendingReply cannot do
    anything. All functions return their failure values.
*/

/*!
    \fn QDBusPendingReply::QDBusPendingReply(const QDBusPendingReply &other)

    Creates a copy of the \a other QDBusPendingReply object. Just like
    QDBusPendingCall and QDBusPendingCallWatcher, this QDBusPendingReply
    object will share the same pending call reference. All copies
    share the same return values.
*/

/*!
    \fn QDBusPendingReply::QDBusPendingReply(const QDBusPendingCall &call)

    Creates a QDBusPendingReply object that will take its contents from
    the \a call pending asynchronous call. This QDBusPendingReply object
    will share the same pending call reference as \a call.
*/

/*!
    \fn QDBusPendingReply::QDBusPendingReply(const QDBusMessage &message)

    Creates a QDBusPendingReply object that will take its contents from
    the message \a message. In this case, this object will be already
    in its finished state and the reply's contents will be accessible.

    \sa isFinished()
*/

/*!
    \fn QDBusPendingReply &QDBusPendingReply::operator=(const QDBusPendingReply &other)

    Makes a copy of \a other and drops the reference to the current
    pending call. If the current reference is to an unfinished pending
    call and this is the last reference, the pending call will be
    canceled and there will be no way of retrieving the reply's
    contents, when they arrive.
*/

/*!
    \fn QDBusPendingReply &QDBusPendingReply::operator=(const QDBusPendingCall &call)

    Makes this object take its contents from the \a call pending call
    and drops the reference to the current pending call. If the
    current reference is to an unfinished pending call and this is the
    last reference, the pending call will be canceled and there will
    be no way of retrieving the reply's contents, when they arrive.
*/

/*!
    \fn QDBusPendingReply &QDBusPendingReply::operator=(const QDBusMessage &message)

    Makes this object take its contents from the \a message message
    and drops the reference to the current pending call. If the
    current reference is to an unfinished pending call and this is the
    last reference, the pending call will be canceled and there will
    be no way of retrieving the reply's contents, when they arrive.

    After this function is finished, the QDBusPendingReply object will
    be in its "finished" state and the \a message contents will be
    accessible.

    \sa isFinished()
*/

/*!
    \fn int QDBusPendingReply::count() const

    Return the number of arguments the reply is supposed to have. This
    number matches the number of non-void template parameters in this
    class.

    If the reply arrives with a different number of arguments (or with
    different types), it will be transformed into an error reply
    indicating a bad signature.
*/

/*!
    \fn QVariant QDBusPendingReply::argumentAt(int index) const

    Returns the argument at position \a index in the reply's
    contents. If the reply doesn't have that many elements, this
    function's return value is undefined (will probably cause an
    assertion failure), so it is important to verify that the
    processing is finished and the reply is valid.
*/

/*!
    \fn Type QDBusPendingReply::argumentAt() const

    Returns the argument at position \c Index (which is a template
    parameter) cast to type \c Type. This function uses template code
    to determine the proper \c Type type, according to the type list
    used in the construction of this object.

    Note that, if the reply hasn't arrived, this function causes the
    calling thread to block until the reply is processed.
*/

/*!
    \fn T1 QDBusPendingReply::value() const

    Returns the first argument in this reply, cast to type \c T1 (the
    first template parameter of this class). This is equivalent to
    calling argumentAt<0>().

    This function is provided as a convenience, matching the
    QDBusReply::value() function.

    Note that, if the reply hasn't arrived, this function causes the
    calling thread to block until the reply is processed.
*/

/*!
    \fn QDBusPendingReply::operator T1() const

    Returns the first argument in this reply, cast to type \c T1 (the
    first template parameter of this class). This is equivalent to
    calling argumentAt<0>().

    This function is provided as a convenience, matching the
    QDBusReply::value() function.

    Note that, if the reply hasn't arrived, this function causes the
    calling thread to block until the reply is processed.
*/

/*!
    \fn void QDBusPendingReply::waitForFinished()

    Suspends the execution of the calling thread until the reply is
    received and processed. After this function returns, isFinished()
    should return true, indicating the reply's contents are ready to
    be processed.

    \sa QDBusPendingCallWatcher::waitForFinished()
