250 | entries of directory C<$path> into two sets of names, ones you can recurse |
|
|
251 | into (directories), and ones you cannot recurse into (everything else). |
|
|
252 | |
|
|
253 | C<aio_scandir> is a composite request that consists of many |
|
|
254 | aio-primitives. C<$maxreq> specifies the maximum number of outstanding |
|
|
255 | aio requests that this function generates. If it is C<< <= 0 >>, then a |

|
256 | suitable default will be chosen (currently 8). |

269 | Implementation notes. |
|
|
270 | |
|
|
271 | The C<aio_readdir> cannot be avoided, but C<stat()>'ing every entry can. |
|
|
272 | |
|
|
273 | After reading the directory, the modification time, size etc. of the |
|
|
274 | directory before and after the readdir is checked, and if they match, the |
|
|
275 | link count will be used to decide how many entries are directories (if |
|
|
276 | >= 2). Otherwise, no knowledge of the number of subdirectories will be |
|
|
277 | assumed. |
|
|
278 | |
|
|
279 | Then entires will be sorted into likely directories (everything without a |
|
|
280 | non-initial dot) and likely non-directories (everything else). Then every |
|
|
281 | entry + C</.> will be C<stat>'ed, likely directories first. This is often |
|
|
282 | faster because filesystems might detect the type of the entry without |
|
|
283 | reading the inode data (e.g. ext2s filetype feature). If that succeeds, |
|
|
284 | it assumes that the entry is a directory or a symlink to directory (which |
|
|
285 | will be checked seperately). |
|
|
286 | |
|
|
287 | If the known number of directories has been reached, the rest of the |
|
|
288 | entries is assumed to be non-directories. |

|
|
534 | Before the fork, IO::AIO enters a quiescent state where no requests |
|
|
535 | can be added in other threads and no results will be processed. After |
|
|
536 | the fork the parent simply leaves the quiescent state and continues |
|
|
537 | request/result processing, while the child clears the request/result |
|
|
538 | queue (so the requests started before the fork will only be handled in |
|
|
539 | the parent). Threats will be started on demand until the limit ste in the |
