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.

		87	=head2 EXAMPLE
		88
		89	This is a simple example that uses the Event module and loads
		90	F</etc/passwd> asynchronously:
		91
		92	use Fcntl;
		93	use Event;
		94	use IO::AIO;
		95
		96	# register the IO::AIO callback with Event
		97	Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
		98	poll => 'r',
		99	cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
		100
		101	# queue the request to open /etc/passwd
		102	aio_open "/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY, 0, sub {
		103	my $fh = $_[0]
		104	or die "error while opening: $!";
		105
		106	# stat'ing filehandles is generally non-blocking
		107	my $size = -s $fh;
		108
		109	# queue a request to read the file
		110	my $contents;
		111	aio_read $fh, 0, $size, $contents, 0, sub {
		112	$_[0] == $size
		113	or die "short read: $!";
		114
		115	close $fh;
		116
		117	# file contents now in $contents
		118	print $contents;
		119
		120	# exit event loop and program
		121	Event::unloop;
		122	};
		123	};
		124
		125	# possibly queue up other requests, or open GUI windows,
		126	# check for sockets etc. etc.
		127
		128	# process events as long as there are some:
		129	Event::loop;
		130
		131	=head1 REQUEST ANATOMY AND LIFETIME
		132
		133	Every C<aio_*> function creates a request. which is a C data structure not
		134	directly visible to Perl.
		135
		136	If called in non-void context, every request function returns a Perl
		137	object representing the request. In void context, nothing is returned,
		138	which saves a bit of memory.
		139
		140	The perl object is a fairly standard ref-to-hash object. The hash contents
		141	are not used by IO::AIO so you are free to store anything you like in it.
		142
		143	During their existance, aio requests travel through the following states,
		144	in order:
		145
		146	=over 4
		147
		148	=item ready
		149
		150	Immediately after a request is created it is put into the ready state,
		151	waiting for a thread to execute it.
		152
		153	=item execute
		154
		155	A thread has accepted the request for processing and is currently
		156	executing it (e.g. blocking in read).
		157
		158	=item pending
		159
		160	The request has been executed and is waiting for result processing.
		161
		162	While request submission and execution is fully asynchronous, result
		163	processing is not and relies on the perl interpreter calling C<poll_cb>
		164	(or another function with the same effect).
		165
		166	=item result
		167
		168	The request results are processed synchronously by C<poll_cb>.
		169
		170	The C<poll_cb> function will process all outstanding aio requests by
		171	calling their callbacks, freeing memory associated with them and managing
		172	any groups they are contained in.
		173
		174	=item done
		175
		176	Request has reached the end of its lifetime and holds no resources anymore
		177	(except possibly for the Perl object, but its connection to the actual
		178	aio request is severed and calling its methods will either do nothing or
		179	result in a runtime error).

		691
		692	This is a very special aio request: Instead of doing something, it is a
		693	container for other aio requests, which is useful if you want to bundle
		694	many requests into a single, composite, request with a definite callback
		695	and the ability to cancel the whole request with its subrequests.
		696
		697	Returns an object of class L<IO::AIO::GRP>. See its documentation below
		698	for more info.
		699
		700	Example:
		701
		702	my $grp = aio_group sub {
		703	print "all stats done\n";
		704	};
		705
		706	add $grp
		707	(aio_stat ...),
		708	(aio_stat ...),
		709	...;
		710
		711	=item aio_nop $callback->()
		712
		713	This is a special request - it does nothing in itself and is only used for
		714	side effects, such as when you want to add a dummy request to a group so
		715	that finishing the requests in the group depends on executing the given
		716	code.
		717
		718	While this request does nothing, it still goes through the execution
		719	phase and still requires a worker thread. Thus, the callback will not
		720	be executed immediately but only after other requests in the queue have
		721	entered their execution phase. This can be used to measure request

		726	Mainly used for debugging and benchmarking, this aio request puts one of

		728
		729	While it is theoretically handy to have simple I/O scheduling requests
		730	like sleep and file handle readable/writable, the overhead this creates is
		731	immense (it blocks a thread for a long time) so do not use this function

		747	entering the the B<result> state, but will leave the request otherwise

		756
		757	=head2 IO::AIO::GRP CLASS
		758
		759	This class is a subclass of L<IO::AIO::REQ>, so all its methods apply to
		760	objects of this class, too.
		761
		762	A IO::AIO::GRP object is a special request that can contain multiple other
		763	aio requests.
		764
		765	You create one by calling the C<aio_group> constructing function with a
		766	callback that will be called when all contained requests have entered the
		767	C<done> state:
		768
		769	my $grp = aio_group sub {
		770	print "all requests are done\n";
		771	};
		772
		773	You add requests by calling the C<add> method with one or more
		774	C<IO::AIO::REQ> objects:
		775
		776	$grp->add (aio_unlink "...");
		777
		778	add $grp aio_stat "...", sub {
		779	$_[0] or return $grp->result ("error");
		780
		781	# add another request dynamically, if first succeeded
		782	add $grp aio_open "...", sub {
		783	$grp->result ("ok");
		784	};
		785	};
		786
		787	This makes it very easy to create composite requests (see the source of
		788	C<aio_move> for an application) that work and feel like simple requests.
		789
		790	=over 4
		791
		792	=item * The IO::AIO::GRP objects will be cleaned up during calls to
		793	C<IO::AIO::poll_cb>, just like any other request.
		794
		795	=item * They can be canceled like any other request. Canceling will cancel not
		796	only the request itself, but also all requests it contains.
		797
		798	=item * They can also can also be added to other IO::AIO::GRP objects.
		799
		800	=item * You must not add requests to a group from within the group callback (or
		801	any later time).
		802
		803	=back
		804
		805	Their lifetime, simplified, looks like this: when they are empty, they
		806	will finish very quickly. If they contain only requests that are in the
		807	C<done> state, they will also finish. Otherwise they will continue to
		808	exist.
		809
		810	That means after creating a group you have some time to add requests. And
		811	in the callbacks of those requests, you can add further requests to the
		812	group. And only when all those requests have finished will the the group
		813	itself finish.
		814

		819	=item $grp->add (...)
		820
		821	Add one or more requests to the group. Any type of L<IO::AIO::REQ> can
		822	be added, including other groups, as long as you do not create circular
		823	dependencies.
		824
		825	Returns all its arguments.
		826
		827	=item $grp->cancel_subs
		828
		829	Cancel all subrequests and clears any feeder, but not the group request
		830	itself. Useful when you queued a lot of events but got a result early.
		831
		832	=item $grp->result (...)
		833
		834	Set the result value(s) that will be passed to the group callback when all
		835	subrequests have finished and set thre groups errno to the current value
		836	of errno (just like calling C<errno> without an error number). By default,
		837	no argument will be passed and errno is zero.
		838
		839	=item $grp->errno ([$errno])
		840
		841	Sets the group errno value to C<$errno>, or the current value of errno
		842	when the argument is missing.
		843
		844	Every aio request has an associated errno value that is restored when
		845	the callback is invoked. This method lets you change this value from its
		846	default (0).
		847
		848	Calling C<result> will also set errno, so make sure you either set C<$!>
		849	before the call to C<result>, or call c<errno> after it.
		850
		851	=item feed $grp $callback->($grp)
		852
		853	Sets a feeder/generator on this group: every group can have an attached
		854	generator that generates requests if idle. The idea behind this is that,
		855	although you could just queue as many requests as you want in a group,
		856	this might starve other requests for a potentially long time. For
		857	example, C<aio_scandir> might generate hundreds of thousands C<aio_stat>
		858	requests, delaying any later requests for a long time.
		859
		860	To avoid this, and allow incremental generation of requests, you can
		861	instead a group and set a feeder on it that generates those requests. The
		862	feed callback will be called whenever there are few enough (see C<limit>,
		863	below) requests active in the group itself and is expected to queue more
		864	requests.
		865
		866	The feed callback can queue as many requests as it likes (i.e. C<add> does
		867	not impose any limits).
		868
		869	If the feed does not queue more requests when called, it will be
		870	automatically removed from the group.
		871
		872	If the feed limit is C<0>, it will be set to C<2> automatically.
		873
		874	Example:
		875
		876	# stat all files in @files, but only ever use four aio requests concurrently:
		877
		878	my $grp = aio_group sub { print "finished\n" };
		879	limit $grp 4;
		880	feed $grp sub {
		881	my $file = pop @files
		882	or return;
		883
		884	add $grp aio_stat $file, sub { ... };
		885	};
		886
		887	=item limit $grp $num
		888
		889	Sets the feeder limit for the group: The feeder will be called whenever
		890	the group contains less than this many requests.
		891
		892	Setting the limit to C<0> will pause the feeding process.

		1020	Limit the number of threads (default: 4) that are allowed to idle (i.e.,

625		1113
		1114	In short: the parent will, after a short pause, continue as if fork had
		1115	not been called, while the child will act as if IO::AIO has not been used
		1116	yet.
		1117
		1118	=head2 MEMORY USAGE
		1119
		1120	Per-request usage:
		1121
		1122	Each aio request uses - depending on your architecture - around 100-200
		1123	bytes of memory. In addition, stat requests need a stat buffer (possibly
		1124	a few hundred bytes), readdir requires a result buffer and so on. Perl
		1125	scalars and other data passed into aio requests will also be locked and
		1126	will consume memory till the request has entered the done state.
		1127
		1128	This is now awfully much, so queuing lots of requests is not usually a
		1129	problem.
		1130
		1131	Per-thread usage:
		1132
		1133	In the execution phase, some aio requests require more memory for
		1134	temporary buffers, and each thread requires a stack and other data
		1135	structures (usually around 16k-128k, depending on the OS).
		1136
		1137	=head1 KNOWN BUGS
		1138
		1139	Known bugs will be fixed in the next release.
