Task.setSourceTag

Sets @task's source tag.

You can use this to tag a task return value with a particular pointer (usually a pointer to the function doing the tagging) and then later check it using g_task_get_source_tag() (or g_async_result_is_tagged()) in the task's "finish" function, to figure out if the response came from a particular place.

A macro wrapper around this function will automatically set the task’s name to the string form of @source_tag if it’s not already set, for convenience.
