		492
		493	On success, the callback is passed a hash reference with the following

		495	C<ffree>, C<favail>, C<fsid>, C<flag> and C<namemax>. On failure, C<undef>
		496	is passed.
		497

		501	The following non-POSIX IO::AIO::ST_* flag masks are defined to

		1092	=item aio_msync $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef, flags = 0, $callback->($status)
		1093
		1094	This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which only works on mmap(2)ed
		1095	scalars (see the C<IO::AIO::mmap> function, although it also works on data
		1096	scalars managed by the L<Sys::Mmap> or L<Mmap> modules, note that the
		1097	scalar must only be modified in-place while an aio operation is pending on
		1098	it).
		1099
		1100	It calls the C<msync> function of your OS, if available, with the memory
		1101	area starting at C<$offset> in the string and ending C<$length> bytes
		1102	later. If C<$length> is negative, counts from the end, and if C<$length>
		1103	is C<undef>, then it goes till the end of the string. The flags can be
		1104	a combination of C<IO::AIO::MS_ASYNC>, C<IO::AIO::MS_INVALIDATE> and
		1105	C<IO::AIO::MS_SYNC>.
		1106
		1107	=item aio_mtouch $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef, flags = 0, $callback->($status)
		1108
		1109	This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which works best on mmap(2)ed
		1110	scalars.
		1111
		1112	It touches (reads or writes) all memory pages in the specified
		1113	range inside the scalar. All caveats and parameters are the same
		1114	as for C<aio_msync>, above, except for flags, which must be either
		1115	C<0> (which reads all pages and ensures they are instantiated) or
		1116	C<IO::AIO::MT_MODIFY>, which modifies the memory page s(by reading and
		1117	writing an octet from it, which dirties the page).
		1118
		1119	=item aio_mlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef, $callback->($status)
		1120
		1121	This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which works best on mmap(2)ed
		1122	scalars.
		1123
		1124	It reads in all the pages of the underlying storage into memory (if any)
		1125	and locks them, so they are not getting swapped/paged out or removed.
		1126
		1127	If C<$length> is undefined, then the scalar will be locked till the end.
		1128
		1129	On systems that do not implement C<mlock>, this function returns C<-1>
		1130	and sets errno to C<ENOSYS>.
		1131
		1132	Note that the corresponding C<munlock> is synchronous and is
		1133	documented under L<MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS>.
		1134
		1135	Example: open a file, mmap and mlock it - both will be undone when
		1136	C<$data> gets destroyed.
		1137
		1138	open my $fh, "<", $path or die "$path: $!";
		1139	my $data;
		1140	IO::AIO::mmap $data, -s $fh, IO::AIO::PROT_READ, IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED, $fh;
		1141	aio_mlock $data; # mlock in background
		1142
		1143	=item aio_mlockall $flags, $callback->($status)
		1144
		1145	Calls the C<mlockall> function with the given C<$flags> (a combination of
		1146	C<IO::AIO::MCL_CURRENT> and C<IO::AIO::MCL_FUTURE>).
		1147
		1148	On systems that do not implement C<mlockall>, this function returns C<-1>
		1149	and sets errno to C<ENOSYS>.
		1150
		1151	Note that the corresponding C<munlockall> is synchronous and is
		1152	documented under L<MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS>.
		1153
		1154	Example: asynchronously lock all current and future pages into memory.

		1606	=item IO::AIO::mprotect $scalar, $offset, $len, $protect
		1607

		1609	$scalar (see its manpage for details). The following protect
		1610	constants are avaiable: C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ>,
		1611	C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>.
		1612

		1615
		1616	=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
		1617
		1618	Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
		1619	given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar.
		1620
		1621	The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
		1622	change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
		1623	or searching it with regexes and so on.
		1624
		1625	Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
		1626
		1627	The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
		1628	when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
		1629	C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
		1630
		1631	This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
		1632	page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
		1633
		1634	The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
		1635	filesize.
		1636
		1637	C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
		1638	C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
		1639
		1640	C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or
		1641	C<IO::AIO::MAP_PRIVATE>, or a number of system-specific flags (when
		1642	not 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
		1644	constant), C<IO::AIO::MAP_HUGETLB>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_LOCKED>,
		1645	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NORESERVE>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_POPULATE> or
		1646	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NONBLOCK>
		1647
		1648	If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
		1649
		1650	C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
		1651	a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
		1652
		1653	Example:
		1654
		1655	use Digest::MD5;
		1656	use IO::AIO;
		1657
		1658	open my $fh, "<verybigfile"

		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 $scalar
		1667
		1668	Removes a previous mmap and undefines the C<$scalar>.
		1669
		1670	=item IO::AIO::munlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef
		1671
		1672	Calls the C<munlock> function, undoing the effects of a previous
		1673	C<aio_mlock> call (see its description for details).
		1674
		1675	=item IO::AIO::munlockall
		1676
		1677	Calls the C<munlockall> function.
		1678
		1679	On systems that do not implement C<munlockall>, this function returns

		1693
		1694	It is recommended to use L<AnyEvent::AIO> to integrate IO::AIO
		1695	automatically into many event loops:
		1696
		1697	# AnyEvent integration (EV, Event, Glib, Tk, POE, urxvt, pureperl...)
		1698	use AnyEvent::AIO;
		1699
		1700	You can also integrate IO::AIO manually into many event loops, here are
		1701	some 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);
