45	operating system supports.	54	operating system supports.
46		55
		56	Asynchronous means that operations that can normally block your program
		57	(e.g. reading from disk) will be done asynchronously: the operation
		58	will still block, but you can do something else in the meantime. This
		59	is extremely useful for programs that need to stay interactive even
		60	when doing heavy I/O (GUI programs, high performance network servers
		61	etc.), but can also be used to easily do operations in parallel that are
		62	normally done sequentially, e.g. stat'ing many files, which is much faster
		63	on a RAID volume or over NFS when you do a number of stat operations
		64	concurrently.
		65
		66	While this works on all types of file descriptors (for example sockets),
		67	using these functions on file descriptors that support nonblocking
		68	operation (again, sockets, pipes etc.) is very inefficient. Use an event
		69	loop for that (such as the L<Event\|Event> module): IO::AIO will naturally
		70	fit into such an event loop itself.
		71

59	C<aio_> functions) recursively.	85	never call C<poll_cb> (or other C<aio_> functions) recursively.
		86
		87	=head1 REQUEST ANATOMY AND LIFETIME
		88
		89	Every C<aio_*> function creates a request. which is a C data structure not
		90	directly visible to Perl.
		91
		92	If called in non-void context, every request function returns a Perl
		93	object representing the request. In void context, nothing is returned,
		94	which saves a bit of memory.
		95
		96	The perl object is a fairly standard ref-to-hash object. The hash contents
		97	are not used by IO::AIO so you are free to store anything you like in it.
		98
		99	During their existance, aio requests travel through the following states,
		100	in order:
		101
		102	=over 4
		103
		104	=item ready
		105
		106	Immediately after a request is created it is put into the ready state,
		107	waiting for a thread to execute it.
		108
		109	=item execute
		110
		111	A thread has accepted the request for processing and is currently
		112	executing it (e.g. blocking in read).
		113
		114	=item pending
		115
		116	The request has been executed and is waiting for result processing.
		117
		118	While request submission and execution is fully asynchronous, result
		119	processing is not and relies on the perl interpreter calling C<poll_cb>
		120	(or another function with the same effect).
		121
		122	=item result
		123
		124	The request results are processed synchronously by C<poll_cb>.
		125
		126	The C<poll_cb> function will process all outstanding aio requests by
		127	calling their callbacks, freeing memory associated with them and managing
		128	any groups they are contained in.
		129
		130	=item done
		131
		132	Request has reached the end of its lifetime and holds no resources anymore
		133	(except possibly for the Perl object, but its connection to the actual
		134	aio request is severed and calling its methods will either do nothing or
		135	result in a runtime error).

		643
		644	This is a very special aio request: Instead of doing something, it is a
		645	container for other aio requests, which is useful if you want to bundle
		646	many requests into a single, composite, request with a definite callback
		647	and the ability to cancel the whole request with its subrequests.
		648
		649	Returns an object of class L<IO::AIO::GRP>. See its documentation below
		650	for more info.
		651
		652	Example:
		653
		654	my $grp = aio_group sub {
		655	print "all stats done\n";
		656	};
		657
		658	add $grp
		659	(aio_stat ...),
		660	(aio_stat ...),
		661	...;
		662
		663	=item aio_nop $callback->()
		664
		665	This is a special request - it does nothing in itself and is only used for
		666	side effects, such as when you want to add a dummy request to a group so
		667	that finishing the requests in the group depends on executing the given
		668	code.
		669
		670	While this request does nothing, it still goes through the execution
		671	phase and still requires a worker thread. Thus, the callback will not
		672	be executed immediately but only after other requests in the queue have
		673	entered their execution phase. This can be used to measure request
		674	latency.
		675
		676	=item IO::AIO::aio_busy $fractional_seconds, $callback->() NOT EXPORTED
		677
		678	Mainly used for debugging and benchmarking, this aio request puts one of

		680
		681	While it is theoretically handy to have simple I/O scheduling requests
		682	like sleep and file handle readable/writable, the overhead this creates is
		683	immense (it blocks a thread for a long time) so do not use this function
		684	except to put your application under artificial I/O pressure.

		693	=over 4
		694

		696
		697	Cancels the request, if possible. Has the effect of skipping execution
		698	when entering the B<execute> state and skipping calling the callback when
		699	entering the the B<result> state, but will leave the request otherwise
		700	untouched. That means that requests that currently execute will not be
		701	stopped and resources held by the request will not be freed prematurely.
		702
		703	=item cb $req $callback->(...)
		704
		705	Replace (or simply set) the callback registered to the request.

		708
		709	=head2 IO::AIO::GRP CLASS
		710
		711	This class is a subclass of L<IO::AIO::REQ>, so all its methods apply to
		712	objects of this class, too.
		713
		714	A IO::AIO::GRP object is a special request that can contain multiple other
		715	aio requests.
		716
		717	You create one by calling the C<aio_group> constructing function with a
		718	callback that will be called when all contained requests have entered the
		719	C<done> state:
		720
		721	my $grp = aio_group sub {
		722	print "all requests are done\n";
		723	};
		724
		725	You add requests by calling the C<add> method with one or more
		726	C<IO::AIO::REQ> objects:
		727
		728	$grp->add (aio_unlink "...");
		729
		730	add $grp aio_stat "...", sub {
		731	$_[0] or return $grp->result ("error");
		732
		733	# add another request dynamically, if first succeeded
		734	add $grp aio_open "...", sub {
		735	$grp->result ("ok");
		736	};
		737	};
		738
		739	This makes it very easy to create composite requests (see the source of
		740	C<aio_move> for an application) that work and feel like simple requests.
		741
		742	=over 4
		743
		744	=item * The IO::AIO::GRP objects will be cleaned up during calls to
		745	C<IO::AIO::poll_cb>, just like any other request.
		746
		747	=item * They can be canceled like any other request. Canceling will cancel not
		748	only the request itself, but also all requests it contains.
		749
		750	=item * They can also can also be added to other IO::AIO::GRP objects.
		751
		752	=item * You must not add requests to a group from within the group callback (or
		753	any later time).
		754
		755	=back
		756
		757	Their lifetime, simplified, looks like this: when they are empty, they
		758	will finish very quickly. If they contain only requests that are in the
		759	C<done> state, they will also finish. Otherwise they will continue to
		760	exist.
		761
		762	That means after creating a group you have some time to add requests. And
		763	in the callbacks of those requests, you can add further requests to the
		764	group. And only when all those requests have finished will the the group
		765	itself finish.
		766
		767	=over 4
		768

		770
		771	=item $grp->add (...)
		772
		773	Add one or more requests to the group. Any type of L<IO::AIO::REQ> can
		774	be added, including other groups, as long as you do not create circular
		775	dependencies.
		776
		777	Returns all its arguments.
		778
		779	=item $grp->cancel_subs
		780
		781	Cancel all subrequests and clears any feeder, but not the group request
		782	itself. Useful when you queued a lot of events but got a result early.
		783
		784	=item $grp->result (...)
		785
		786	Set the result value(s) that will be passed to the group callback when all
		787	subrequests have finished and set thre groups errno to the current value
		788	of errno (just like calling C<errno> without an error number). By default,
		789	no argument will be passed and errno is zero.
		790
		791	=item $grp->errno ([$errno])
		792
		793	Sets the group errno value to C<$errno>, or the current value of errno
		794	when the argument is missing.
		795
		796	Every aio request has an associated errno value that is restored when
		797	the callback is invoked. This method lets you change this value from its
		798	default (0).
		799
		800	Calling C<result> will also set errno, so make sure you either set C<$!>
		801	before the call to C<result>, or call c<errno> after it.
		802
		803	=item feed $grp $callback->($grp)
		804
		805	Sets a feeder/generator on this group: every group can have an attached
		806	generator that generates requests if idle. The idea behind this is that,
		807	although you could just queue as many requests as you want in a group,
		808	this might starve other requests for a potentially long time. For
		809	example, C<aio_scandir> might generate hundreds of thousands C<aio_stat>
		810	requests, delaying any later requests for a long time.
		811
		812	To avoid this, and allow incremental generation of requests, you can
		813	instead a group and set a feeder on it that generates those requests. The
		814	feed callback will be called whenever there are few enough (see C<limit>,
		815	below) requests active in the group itself and is expected to queue more
		816	requests.
		817
		818	The feed callback can queue as many requests as it likes (i.e. C<add> does
		819	not impose any limits).
		820
		821	If the feed does not queue more requests when called, it will be
		822	automatically removed from the group.
		823
		824	If the feed limit is C<0>, it will be set to C<2> automatically.
		825
		826	Example:
		827
		828	# stat all files in @files, but only ever use four aio requests concurrently:
		829
		830	my $grp = aio_group sub { print "finished\n" };
		831	limit $grp 4;
		832	feed $grp sub {
		833	my $file = pop @files
		834	or return;
		835
		836	add $grp aio_stat $file, sub { ... };
		837	};
		838
		839	=item limit $grp $num
		840
		841	Sets the feeder limit for the group: The feeder will be called whenever
		842	the group contains less than this many requests.
		843
		844	Setting the limit to C<0> will pause the feeding process.

		1030	In short: the parent will, after a short pause, continue as if fork had
		1031	not been called, while the child will act as if IO::AIO has not been used

		1033
		1034	=head2 MEMORY USAGE
		1035
		1036	Per-request usage:
		1037
		1038	Each aio request uses - depending on your architecture - around 100-200
		1039	bytes of memory. In addition, stat requests need a stat buffer (possibly
		1040	a few hundred bytes), readdir requires a result buffer and so on. Perl
		1041	scalars and other data passed into aio requests will also be locked and
		1042	will consume memory till the request has entered the done state.
		1043
		1044	This is now awfully much, so queuing lots of requests is not usually a
		1045	problem.
		1046
		1047	Per-thread usage:
		1048
		1049	In the execution phase, some aio requests require more memory for
		1050	temporary buffers, and each thread requires a stack and other data
		1051	structures (usually around 16k-128k, depending on the OS).
		1052
		1053	=head1 KNOWN BUGS
		1054
		1055	Known bugs will be fixed in the next release.
