174
175Tries to copy C<$length> bytes from C<$in_fh> to C<$out_fh>. It starts
176reading at byte offset C<$in_offset>, and starts writing at the current
177file offset of C<$out_fh>. Because of that, it is not safe to issue more
178than one C<aio_sendfile> per C<$out_fh>, as they will interfere with each
179other.
180
181This call tries to make use of a native C<sendfile> syscall to provide
182zero-copy operation. For this to work, C<$out_fh> should refer to a
183socket, and C<$in_fh> should refer to mmap'able file.
184
185If the native sendfile call fails or is not implemented, it will be
186emulated, so you can call C<aio_sendfile> on any type of filehandle
187regardless of the limitations of the operating system.
188
189Please note, however, that C<aio_sendfile> can read more bytes from
190C<$in_fh> than are written, and there is no way to find out how many
191bytes have been read from C<aio_sendfile> alone, as C<aio_sendfile> only
192provides the number of bytes written to C<$out_fh>. Only if the result
193value equals C<$length> one can assume that C<$length> bytes have been
194read.

213 241
242=item aio_readdir $pathname, $callback->($entries)
243
244Unlike the POSIX call of the same name, C<aio_readdir> reads an entire
245directory (i.e. opendir + readdir + closedir). The entries will not be
246sorted, and will B<NOT> include the C<.> and C<..> entries.
247
248The callback a single argument which is either C<undef> or an array-ref
249with the filenames.
250
251=item aio_scandir $path, $maxreq, $callback->($dirs, $nondirs)
252
253Scans a directory (similar to C<aio_readdir>) and tries to separate the
254entries of directory C<$path> into two sets of names, ones you can recurse
255into (directories), and ones you cannot recurse into (everything else).
256
257C<aio_scandir> is a composite request that consists of many
258aio-primitives. C<$maxreq> specifies the maximum number of outstanding
259aio requests that this function generates. If it is C<< <= 0 >>, then a
260suitable default will be chosen (currently 8).
261
262On error, the callback is called without arguments, otherwise it receives
263two array-refs with path-relative entry names.
264
265Example:
266
267 aio_scandir $dir, 0, sub {
268 my ($dirs, $nondirs) = @_;
269 print "real directories: @$dirs\n";
270 print "everything else: @$nondirs\n";
271 };
272
273Implementation notes.
274
275The C<aio_readdir> cannot be avoided, but C<stat()>'ing every entry can.
276
277After reading the directory, the modification time, size etc. of the
278directory before and after the readdir is checked, and if they match, the
279link count will be used to decide how many entries are directories (if
280>= 2). Otherwise, no knowledge of the number of subdirectories will be
281assumed.
282
283Then entires will be sorted into likely directories (everything without a
284non-initial dot) and likely non-directories (everything else). Then every
285entry + C</.> will be C<stat>'ed, likely directories first. This is often
286faster because filesystems might detect the type of the entry without
287reading the inode data (e.g. ext2s filetype feature). If that succeeds,
288it assumes that the entry is a directory or a symlink to directory (which
289will be checked seperately).
290
291If the known number of directories has been reached, the rest of the
292entries is assumed to be non-directories.
