The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getAccessPolicy([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setAccessPolicy([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Possible values are:


0 (ptPrivate)	Only the owner has access to the resource (default).
1 (ptPublic_Read)	Anonymous users have read access to the resource.
2 (ptPublic_Read_Write)	Anonymous users have read and write access to the resource. This only applies to buckets.
3 (ptAuthenticated_Read)	Authenticated Google account holders have read access to the resource.
4 (ptBucket_Owner_Read)	The owner of the bucket has read access to the resource. This only applies to objects.
5 (ptBucket_Owner_Full_Control)	The owner of the bucket has read and write access to the resource. This only applies to objects.
