GIO is slightly lower-level than that.  It just provides an abstraction
for asynchronous I/O operations with cancellation.

If you want to pause/resume transfers, you'll have to implement them
yourself on top of that - you probably cannot use the predefined
g_file_copy_async() and friends, but rather you'll have to do your own
versions.
