Asynchronous to the current thread. Basically meaning you call the function and the code won't wait until it's finished to continue. Synchronous is the opposite.
Although they don't seem to do that... |

Asynchronous. It doesn't matter on the Lua side, because to Lua it doesn't act as an async. But the theory is that in C, multiple instances of that function can run at once. So if you have multiple threads or scripts in Lua, they can all use it at the same time.
