/* Fences indicate the status of an asynchronous task. They are initially
 * in unsignaled state (0), and make a one-time transition to either signaled
 * (1) or error (< 0) state. A sync file is a collection of one or more fences;
 * the sync file's status is error if any of its fences are in error state,
 * signaled if all of the child fences are signaled, or unsignaled otherwise.
 *
 * Sync files are created by various device APIs in response to submitting
 * tasks to the device. Standard file descriptor lifetime syscalls like dup()
 * and close() are used to manage sync file lifetime.
 *
 * The poll(), ppoll(), or select() syscalls can be used to wait for the sync
 * file to change status, or (with a timeout of zero) to check its status.
 *
 * The functions below provide a few additional sync-specific operations.

/**
 * Merge two sync files.
 *
 * This produces a new sync file with the given name which has the union of the
 * two original sync file's fences; redundant fences may be removed.
 *
 * If one of the input sync files is signaled or invalid, then this function
 * may behave like dup(): the new file descriptor refers to the valid/unsignaled
 * sync file with its original name, rather than a new sync file.
 *
 * The original fences remain valid, and the caller is responsible for closing
 * them.
 *
 * Available since API level 26.
