/**
An optional companion interface to
<type scope="com::sun::star::io">XOutputStream</type> that supports scenarios
where <member scope="com::sun::star::io">XOutputStream::writeBytes</member>
operates asynchronously and does not necessarily report any errors.
<p>A typical scenario where this interface is useful is when an
<type scope="com::sun::star::io">XOutputStream</type> is used to write to a
file via NFS. Normally, any calls to
<member scope="com::sun::star::io">XOutputStream::writeBytes</member> will
execute asynchronously then, in that any potential errors might only be
reported by later calls to
<member scope="com::sun::star::io">XOutputStream::writeBytes</member> or
<member scope="com::sun::star::io">XOutputStream::closeOutput</member>. If
such an output stream shall not be closed immediately after one or more calls
to <member scope="com::sun::star::io">XOutputStream::writeBytes</member>, but
the client wants to know as soon as possible whether writing was successful,
then <member
scope="com::sun::star::io">XAsyncOutputMonitor::waitForCompletion</member>
should be called after the series of calls to
<member scope="com::sun::star::io">XOutputStream::writeBytes</member>.</p>

interface XAsyncOutputMonitor {
/**
waits for the completion of any previous calls to
<member scope="com::sun::star::io">XOutputStream::writeBytes</member>,
and reports potentially pending errors.
<p>Calling this method is potentially expensive (even if the associated
<type scope="com::sun::star::io">XOutputStream</type> represents a local
file not accessed via NFS, for example). This method has a similar
description to
<member scope="com::sun::star::io">XOutputStream::flush</member>.
However, where the semantics of <code>flush</code> are rather vague,
<code>waitForCompletion</code> has very specific semantics—it just
blocks long enough so that any errors encountered during previous calls
to <member scope="com::sun::star::io">XOutputStream::writeBytes</member>
can reliably be reported. It specificially does not guarantee that any
data have savely been stored on a stable physical medium, like a hard
disk (and it is completely unspecified whether <code>flush</code> should
give this guarantee).</p>
@throws com::sun::star::io::IOException
if any previous call to <member
scope="com::sun::star::io">XOutputStream::writeBytes</member> encountered
such an error, but has not yet reported it (in cases where
<code>writeBytes</code> operates asynchronously).
