1255
1256Queries the extents of the given file (by calling the Linux FIEMAP ioctl,
1257see L<http://cvs.schmorp.de/IO-AIO/doc/fiemap.txt> for details). If the
1258C<ioctl> is not available on your OS, then this rquiest will fail with
1259C<ENOSYS>.
1260
1261C<$start> is the starting offset to query extents for, C<$length> is the
1262size of the range to query - if it is C<undef>, then the whole file will
1263be queried.
1264
1265C<$flags> is a combination of flags (C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC> or
1266C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAG_XATTR> - C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAGS_COMPAT> is also
1267exported), and is normally C<0> or C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC> to query
1268the data portion.
1269
1270C<$count> is the maximum number of extent records to return. If it is
1271C<undef>, then IO::AIO queries all extents of the file. As a very special
1272case, if it is C<0>, then the callback receives the number of extents
1273instead of the extents themselves.
1274
1275If an error occurs, the callback receives no arguments. The special
1276C<errno> value C<IO::AIO::EBADR> is available to test for flag errors.
1277
1278Otherwise, the callback receives an array reference with extent
1279structures. Each extent structure is an array reference itself, with the
1280following members:
1281
1282 [$logical, $physical, $length, $flags]
1283
1284Flags is any combination of the following flag values (typically either C<0>
1285or C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST>):
1286
1287C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST>, C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_UNKNOWN>,
1288C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_DELALLOC>, C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_ENCODED>,
1289C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_DATA_ENCRYPTED>, C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_NOT_ALIGNED>,
1290C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_DATA_INLINE>, C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_DATA_TAIL>,
1291C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_UNWRITTEN>, C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_MERGED> or
1292C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_SHARED>.
