432 487
488=item aio_statvfs $fh_or_path, $callback->($statvfs)
489
490Works like the POSIX C<statvfs> or C<fstatvfs> syscalls, depending on
491whether a file handle or path was passed.
492
493On success, the callback is passed a hash reference with the following
494members: C<bsize>, C<frsize>, C<blocks>, C<bfree>, C<bavail>, C<files>,
495C<ffree>, C<favail>, C<fsid>, C<flag> and C<namemax>. On failure, C<undef>
496is passed.
497
498The following POSIX IO::AIO::ST_* constants are defined: C<ST_RDONLY> and
499C<ST_NOSUID>.
500
501The following non-POSIX IO::AIO::ST_* flag masks are defined to
502their correct value when available, or to C<0> on systems that do
503not support them: C<ST_NODEV>, C<ST_NOEXEC>, C<ST_SYNCHRONOUS>,
504C<ST_MANDLOCK>, C<ST_WRITE>, C<ST_APPEND>, C<ST_IMMUTABLE>, C<ST_NOATIME>,
505C<ST_NODIRATIME> and C<ST_RELATIME>.

507Example: stat C</wd> and dump out the data if successful.

436and $mtime being undef). Fractional times are supported if the underlying 536and $mtime being undef). Fractional times are supported if the underlying

532directory (i.e. opendir + readdir + closedir). The entries will not be 632directory (i.e. opendir + readdir + closedir). The entries will not be
533sorted, and will B<NOT> include the C<.> and C<..> entries. 633sorted, and will B<NOT> include the C<.> and C<..> entries.

536with the filenames. 636array-ref with the filenames.
637
638
639=item aio_readdirx $pathname, $flags, $callback->($entries, $flags)
640
641Quite similar to C<aio_readdir>, but the C<$flags> argument allows to tune
642behaviour and output format. In case of an error, C<$entries> will be
643C<undef>.
644
645The flags are a combination of the following constants, ORed together (the
646flags will also be passed to the callback, possibly modified):
647
648=over 4
649
650=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DENTS
651
652When this flag is off, then the callback gets an arrayref with of names
653only (as with C<aio_readdir>), otherwise it gets an arrayref with
654C<[$name, $type, $inode]> arrayrefs, each describing a single directory
655entry in more detail.
656
657C<$name> is the name of the entry.
658
659C<$type> is one of the C<IO::AIO::DT_xxx> constants:
660
661C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN>, C<IO::AIO::DT_FIFO>, C<IO::AIO::DT_CHR>, C<IO::AIO::DT_DIR>,
662C<IO::AIO::DT_BLK>, C<IO::AIO::DT_REG>, C<IO::AIO::DT_LNK>, C<IO::AIO::DT_SOCK>,
663C<IO::AIO::DT_WHT>.
664
665C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to
666know, you have to run stat yourself. Also, for speed reasons, the C<$type>
667scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
668
669C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64
670bit inode numbers and 32 bit perls). This field has unspecified content on
671systems that do not deliver the inode information.
672
673=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST
674
675When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order where
676likely directories come first. This is useful when you need to quickly
677find directories, or you want to find all directories while avoiding to
678stat() each entry.
679
680If the system returns type information in readdir, then this is used
681to find directories directly. Otherwise, likely directories are files
682beginning with ".", or otherwise files with no dots, of which files with
683short names are tried first.
684
685=item IO::AIO::READDIR_STAT_ORDER
686
687When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
688suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()
689all files in the given directory, then the returned order will likely

1096scalars managed by the L<Sys::Mmap> or L<Mmap> modules, note that the
1097scalar must only be modified in-place while an aio operation is pending on
1098it).
1099
1100It calls the C<msync> function of your OS, if available, with the memory
1101area starting at C<$offset> in the string and ending C<$length> bytes
1102later. If C<$length> is negative, counts from the end, and if C<$length>
1103is C<undef>, then it goes till the end of the string. The flags can be

1111
1112It touches (reads or writes) all memory pages in the specified
1113range inside the scalar. All caveats and parameters are the same
1114as for C<aio_msync>, above, except for flags, which must be either
1115C<0> (which reads all pages and ensures they are instantiated) or
1116C<IO::AIO::MT_MODIFY>, which modifies the memory page s(by reading and
1117writing an octet from it, which dirties the page).

1120
1121This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which works best on mmap(2)ed
1122scalars.
1123
1124It reads in all the pages of the underlying storage into memory (if any)
1125and locks them, so they are not getting swapped/paged out or removed.
1126
1127If C<$length> is undefined, then the scalar will be locked till the end.

1570
1571IO::AIO implements some functions that might be useful, but are not
1572asynchronous.
1573
1574=over 4
1575
1576=item IO::AIO::sendfile $ofh, $ifh, $offset, $count
1577
1578Calls the C<eio_sendfile_sync> function, which is like C<aio_sendfile>,
1579but is blocking (this makes most sense if you know the input data is
1580likely cached already and the output filehandle is set to non-blocking
1581operations).
1582
1583Returns the number of bytes copied, or C<-1> on error.
1584
1585=item IO::AIO::fadvise $fh, $offset, $len, $advice
1586
1587Simply calls the C<posix_fadvise> function (see its
1588manpage for details). The following advice constants are
1589avaiable: C<IO::AIO::FADV_NORMAL>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_SEQUENTIAL>,
1590C<IO::AIO::FADV_RANDOM>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_NOREUSE>,
1591C<IO::AIO::FADV_WILLNEED>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_DONTNEED>.
1592
1593On systems that do not implement C<posix_fadvise>, this function returns
1594ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<posix_fadvise>.
1595
1596=item IO::AIO::madvise $scalar, $offset, $len, $advice
1597
1598Simply calls the C<posix_madvise> function (see its
1599manpage for details). The following advice constants are
1600avaiable: C<IO::AIO::MADV_NORMAL>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_SEQUENTIAL>,
1601C<IO::AIO::MADV_RANDOM>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_WILLNEED>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_DONTNEED>.
1602
1603On systems that do not implement C<posix_madvise>, this function returns
1604ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<posix_madvise>.
1605
1606=item IO::AIO::mprotect $scalar, $offset, $len, $protect
1607
1608Simply calls the C<mprotect> function on the preferably AIO::mmap'ed
1609$scalar (see its manpage for details). The following protect
1610constants are avaiable: C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ>,
1611C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>.
1612
1613On systems that do not implement C<mprotect>, this function returns
1614ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<mprotect>.
1615
1616=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
1617
1618Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
1619given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar.
1620
1621The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
1622change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
1623or searching it with regexes and so on.
1624
1625Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
1626
1627The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
1628when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
1629C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
1630
1631This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
1632page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
1633
1634The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
1635filesize.
1636
1637C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
1638C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
1639
1640C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or
1641C<IO::AIO::MAP_PRIVATE>, or a number of system-specific flags (when
1642not available, the are defined as 0): C<IO::AIO::MAP_ANONYMOUS>
1643(which is set to C<MAP_ANON> if your system only provides this
1644constant), C<IO::AIO::MAP_HUGETLB>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_LOCKED>,
1645C<IO::AIO::MAP_NORESERVE>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_POPULATE> or
1646C<IO::AIO::MAP_NONBLOCK>
1647
1648If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
1649
1650C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
1651a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
1652
1653Example:
1654
1655 use Digest::MD5;
1656 use IO::AIO;
1657
1658 open my $fh, "<verybigfile"
1659 or die "$!";
1660
1661 IO::AIO::mmap my $data, -s $fh, IO::AIO::PROT_READ, IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED, $fh
1662 or die "verybigfile: $!";
1663
1664 my $fast_md5 = md5 $data;
1665
1666=item IO::AIO::munmap $scalar
1667
1668Removes a previous mmap and undefines the C<$scalar>.
1669
1670=item IO::AIO::munlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef
1671
1672Calls the C<munlock> function, undoing the effects of a previous
1673C<aio_mlock> call (see its description for details).
1674
1675=item IO::AIO::munlockall
1676
1677Calls the C<munlockall> function.
1678
1679On systems that do not implement C<munlockall>, this function returns
1680ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<munlockall>.

1692=head1 EVENT LOOP INTEGRATION
1693
1694It is recommended to use L<AnyEvent::AIO> to integrate IO::AIO
1695automatically into many event loops:
1696
1697 # AnyEvent integration (EV, Event, Glib, Tk, POE, urxvt, pureperl...)
1698 use AnyEvent::AIO;
1699
1700You can also integrate IO::AIO manually into many event loops, here are
1701some examples of how to do this:
1702
1703 # EV integration
1704 my $aio_w = EV::io IO::AIO::poll_fileno, EV::READ, \&IO::AIO::poll_cb;
1705
1706 # Event integration
1707 Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
1708 poll => 'r',
1709 cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
1710
1711 # Glib/Gtk2 integration
1712 add_watch Glib::IO IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
1713 in => sub { IO::AIO::poll_cb; 1 };
1714
1715 # Tk integration
1716 Tk::Event::IO->fileevent (IO::AIO::poll_fileno, "",
1717 readable => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
1718
1719 # Danga::Socket integration
1720 Danga::Socket->AddOtherFds (IO::AIO::poll_fileno =>
1721 \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
