 #### sourceMapContents
 `sourceMapContents` is a `Boolean` flag to determine whether to include `contents` in maps.
 
+### The `render` Callback (starting from v2.1)
+node-sass supports standard node style asynchronous callbacks with the signature of `function(err, result)`. In error conditions, the `error` argument is populated with the error object. In success conditions, the `result` object is populated with an object describing the result of the render call.
+
+#### The Error Object
+* `message` - The error message.
+* `line` - The line number of error.
+* `column` - The column number of error.
+* `status` - The status code.
+* `file` - The filename of error. In case `file` option was not set (in favour of `data`), this will reflect the value `stdin`.
+
+#### The Result Object
+* `css` - The compiled CSS. Write this to a file, or serve it out as needed.
+* `map` - The source map
+* `stats` - An object containing information about the compile. It contains the following keys:
+  * `entry` - The path to the scss file, or `data` if the source was not a file
+  * `start` - Date.now() before the compilation
+  * `end` - Date.now() after the compilation
+  * `duration` - *end* - *start*
+  * `includedFiles` - Absolute paths to all related scss files in no particular order.
