+/**
+ * \file ipAddrToAsciiAsynchronous.h
+ * \brief Convert ip addresses to ASCII asynchronously
+ *
+ * ipAddrToAsciiEngine is the first class needed to convert an ipAddr to an
+ * ASCII address.  From the engine, you can use createTransaction() to create a
+ * transaction object.  The transaction object lets you attach callbacks and
+ * convert an address to ASCII.
+ *
+ * Example
+ * -------------
+ *
+ * \code{.cpp}
+ * class ConvertIPAddr: ipAddrToAsciiCallBack
+ * {
+ *      ipAddrToAsciiTransaction & trans;
+ *
+ * public:
+ *      epicsEvent complete;
+ *
+ *      ConvertIPAddr(ipAddrToAsciiEngine & engine, osiSockAddr & addr):
+ *          trans(engine.createTransaction())
+ *      {
+ *          trans.ipAddrToAscii(addr, *this);
+ *      }
+ *
+ *      virtual void transactionComplete (char const * node) override
+ *      {
+ *          printf("Address is %s\n", node);
+ *          complete.signal();
+ *      }
+ *
+ *      virtual void show(unsigned level) override const
+ *      {
+ *          printf("This is a ConvertIPAddr class object.");
+ *      }
+ *
+ *      virtual ~ConvertIPAddr()
+ *      {
+ *          trans.release();
+ *      }
+ * };
+ *
+ * ipAddrToAsciiEngine & engine(ipAddrToAsciiEngine::allocate());
+ *
+ * osiSockAddr addr;
+ * addr.ia.sin_family = AF_INET;
+ * addr.ia.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_LOOPBACK);
+ * addr.ia.sin_port = htons(8080);
+ *
+ * ConvertIPAddr result(engine, addr);
+ *
+ * // Do other work here before waiting on the result
+ *
+ * result.complete.wait(2.0);
+ * engine.release();
+ * \endcode
