		1615	=item IO::AIO::mprotect $scalar, $offset, $len, $protect
		1616
		1617	Simply calls the C<mprotect> function on the preferably AIO::mmap'ed
		1618	$scalar (see its manpage for details). The following protect
		1619	constants are avaiable: C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ>,
		1620	C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>.
		1621

		1624
		1625	=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
		1626
		1627	Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
		1628	given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar.
		1629
		1630	The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
		1631	change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
		1632	or searching it with regexes and so on.
		1633
		1634	Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
		1635
		1636	The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
		1637	when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
		1638	C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
		1639
		1640	This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
		1641	page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
		1642
		1643	The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
		1644	filesize.
		1645
		1646	C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
		1647	C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
		1648
		1649	C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or
		1650	C<IO::AIO::MAP_PRIVATE>, or a number of system-specific flags (when
		1651	not available, the are defined as 0): C<IO::AIO::MAP_ANONYMOUS>
		1652	(which is set to C<MAP_ANON> if your system only provides this
		1653	constant), C<IO::AIO::MAP_HUGETLB>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_LOCKED>,
		1654	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NORESERVE>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_POPULATE> or
		1655	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NONBLOCK>
		1656
		1657	If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
		1658
		1659	C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
		1660	a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
		1661
		1662	Example:
		1663
		1664	use Digest::MD5;
		1665	use IO::AIO;
		1666
		1667	open my $fh, "<verybigfile"
		1668	or die "$!";
		1669
		1670	IO::AIO::mmap my $data, -s $fh, IO::AIO::PROT_READ, IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED, $fh
		1671	or die "verybigfile: $!";
		1672
		1673	my $fast_md5 = md5 $data;
		1674
		1675	=item IO::AIO::munmap $scalar
		1676
		1677	Removes a previous mmap and undefines the C<$scalar>.
		1678
		1679	=item IO::AIO::munlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef
		1680
		1681	Calls the C<munlock> function, undoing the effects of a previous
		1682	C<aio_mlock> call (see its description for details).
		1683
		1684	=item IO::AIO::munlockall
		1685
		1686	Calls the C<munlockall> function.
		1687
		1688	On systems that do not implement C<munlockall>, this function returns
		1689	ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<munlockall>.

		1702
		1703	It is recommended to use L<AnyEvent::AIO> to integrate IO::AIO
		1704	automatically into many event loops:
		1705
		1706	# AnyEvent integration (EV, Event, Glib, Tk, POE, urxvt, pureperl...)
		1707	use AnyEvent::AIO;
		1708
		1709	You can also integrate IO::AIO manually into many event loops, here are
		1710	some examples of how to do this:
		1711
		1712	# EV integration
		1713	my $aio_w = EV::io IO::AIO::poll_fileno, EV::READ, \&IO::AIO::poll_cb;
		1714
		1715	# Event integration
		1716	Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
		1717	poll => 'r',
		1718	cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
		1719
		1720	# Glib/Gtk2 integration
		1721	add_watch Glib::IO IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
		1722	in => sub { IO::AIO::poll_cb; 1 };
		1723
		1724	# Tk integration
		1725	Tk::Event::IO->fileevent (IO::AIO::poll_fileno, "",
		1726	readable => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
		1727
		1728	# Danga::Socket integration

		1730	\&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
