+=head3 MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS
+
+IO::AIO implements some functions that might be useful, but are not
+asynchronous.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item IO::AIO::sendfile $ofh, $ifh, $offset, $count
+
+Calls the C<eio_sendfile_sync> function, which is like C<aio_sendfile>,
+but is blocking (this makes most sense if you know the input data is
+likely cached already and the output filehandle is set to non-blocking
+operations).
+
+Returns the number of bytes copied, or C<-1> on error.
+
+=item IO::AIO::fadvise $fh, $offset, $len, $advice
+
+Simply calls the C<posix_fadvise> function (see it's
+manpage for details). The following advice constants are
+avaiable: C<IO::AIO::FADV_NORMAL>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_SEQUENTIAL>,
+C<IO::AIO::FADV_RANDOM>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_NOREUSE>,
+C<IO::AIO::FADV_WILLNEED>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_DONTNEED>.
+
+On systems that do not implement C<posix_fadvise>, this function returns
+ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<posix_fadvise>.
