 syscall has been executed asynchronously.
 All functions expecting a filehandle keep a copy of the filehandle
 internally until the request has finished.
+All non-composite requests (requests that are not broken down into
+multiple requests) return objects of type L<IO::AIO::REQ> that allow
+further manipulation of running requests.
 The pathnames you pass to these routines I<must> be absolute and
 encoded in byte form. The reason for the former is that at the time the
 request is being executed, the current working directory could have
 changed. Alternatively, you can make sure that you never change the

+=head2 IO::AIO::CB CLASS
+All non-aggregate C<aio_*> functions return an object of this class when
+called in non-void context.
+A request always moves through the following five states in its lifetime,
+in order: B<ready> (request has been created, but has not been executed
+yet), B<execute> (request is currently being executed), B<pending>
+(request has been executed but callback has not been called yet),
+B<result> (results are being processed synchronously, includes calling the
+callback) and B<done> (request has reached the end of its lifetime and
+holds no resources anymore).
+=over 4
+=item $req->cancel
+Cancels the request, if possible. Has the effect of skipping execution
+when entering the B<execute> state and skipping calling the callback when
+entering the the B<result> state, but will leave the request otherwise
+untouched. That means that requests that currently execute will not be
+stopped and resources held by the request will not be freed prematurely.

 =head2 FORK BEHAVIOUR
+This module should do "the right thing" when the process using it forks:
 Before the fork, IO::AIO enters a quiescent state where no requests
 can be added in other threads and no results will be processed. After
 the fork the parent simply leaves the quiescent state and continues
 request/result processing, while the child clears the request/result
 queue (so the requests started before the fork will only be handled in
-the parent). Threats will be started on demand until the limit ste in the
+the parent). Threads will be started on demand until the limit ste in the
 parent process has been reached again.
+In short: the parent will, after a short pause, continue as if fork had
+not been called, while the child will act as if IO::AIO has not been used
+yet.
