1794This module should do "the right thing" when the process using it forks: 1804Usage of pthreads in a program changes the semantics of fork
1805considerably. Specifically, only async-safe functions can be called after
1806fork. Perl doesn't know about this, so in general, you cannot call fork
1807with defined behaviour in perl. IO::AIO uses pthreads, so this applies,
1808but many other extensions and (for inexplicable reasons) perl itself often
1809is linked against pthreads, so this limitation applies.
1795 1810
1796Before the fork, IO::AIO enters a quiescent state where no requests 1811Some operating systems have extensions that allow safe use of fork, and
1797can be added in other threads and no results will be processed. After 1812this module should do "the right thing" on those, and tries on others. At
1798the fork the parent simply leaves the quiescent state and continues 1813the time of this writing (2011) only GNU/Linux supports these extensions
1799request/result processing, while the child frees the request/result queue 1814to POSIX.
1800(so that the requests started before the fork will only be handled in the
1801parent). Threads will be started on demand until the limit set in the
1802parent process has been reached again.
1803
1804In short: the parent will, after a short pause, continue as if fork had
1805not been called, while the child will act as if IO::AIO has not been used
1806yet.
