		1651
		1652	Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
		1653
		1654	The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
		1655	when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or

		1658	This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual

		1660
		1661	The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
		1662	filesize.
		1663
		1664	C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
		1665	C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
		1666
		1667	C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or
		1668	C<IO::AIO::MAP_PRIVATE>, or a number of system-specific flags (when

		1670	(which is set to C<MAP_ANON> if your system only provides this
		1671	constant), C<IO::AIO::MAP_HUGETLB>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_LOCKED>,

		1673	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NONBLOCK>
		1674
		1675	If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
		1676
		1677	C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
		1678	a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
		1679
		1680	Example:

		1720
		1721	It is recommended to use L<AnyEvent::AIO> to integrate IO::AIO
		1722	automatically into many event loops:

		1724	# AnyEvent integration (EV, Event, Glib, Tk, POE, urxvt, pureperl...)
		1725	use AnyEvent::AIO;
		1726
		1727	You can also integrate IO::AIO manually into many event loops, here are
		1728	some examples of how to do this:
		1729
		1730	# EV integration
		1731	my $aio_w = EV::io IO::AIO::poll_fileno, EV::READ, \&IO::AIO::poll_cb;
