423 | Seeks the filehandle to the new C<$offset>, similarly to perl's |

424 | C<sysseek>. The C<$whence> can use the traditional values (C<0> for |

|
1238 | These work just like the C<fcntl> and C<ioctl> built-in functions, except |
|
|
1239 | they execute asynchronously and pass the return value to the callback. |
|
|
1240 | |
|
|
1241 | Both calls can be used for a lot of things, some of which make more sense |
|
|
1242 | to run asynchronously in their own thread, while some others make less |
|
|
1243 | sense. For example, calls that block waiting for external events, such |
|
|
1244 | as locking, will also lock down an I/O thread while it is waiting, which |
|
|
1245 | can deadlock the whole I/O system. At the same time, there might be no |
|
|
1246 | alternative to using a thread to wait. |
|
|
1247 | |
|
|
1248 | So in general, you should only use these calls for things that do |
|
|
1249 | (filesystem) I/O, not for things that wait for other events (network, |
|
|
1250 | other processes), although if you are careful and know what you are doing, |
|
|
1251 | you still can. |

1419 | Queries the extents of the given file (by calling the Linux C<FIEMAP> |
|
|
1420 | ioctl, see L<http://cvs.schmorp.de/IO-AIO/doc/fiemap.txt> for details). If |
|
|
1421 | the ioctl is not available on your OS, then this request will fail with |
|
|
1422 | C<ENOSYS>. |
|
|
1423 | |
|
|
1424 | C<$start> is the starting offset to query extents for, C<$length> is the |
|
|
1425 | size of the range to query - if it is C<undef>, then the whole file will |
|
|
1426 | be queried. |
|
|
1427 | |
|
|
1428 | C<$flags> is a combination of flags (C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC> or |
|
|
1429 | C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAG_XATTR> - C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAGS_COMPAT> is also |
|
|
1430 | exported), and is normally C<0> or C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC> to query |
|
|
1431 | the data portion. |
|
|
1432 | |
|
|
1433 | C<$count> is the maximum number of extent records to return. If it is |
|
|
1434 | C<undef>, then IO::AIO queries all extents of the range. As a very special |
|
|
1435 | case, if it is C<0>, then the callback receives the number of extents |
|
|
1436 | instead of the extents themselves (which is unreliable, see below). |
|
|
1437 | |
|
|
1438 | If an error occurs, the callback receives no arguments. The special |
|
|
1439 | C<errno> value C<IO::AIO::EBADR> is available to test for flag errors. |
|
|
1440 | |
|
|
1441 | Otherwise, the callback receives an array reference with extent |
|
|
1442 | structures. Each extent structure is an array reference itself, with the |
|
|
1443 | following members: |
|
|
1444 | |
|
|
1445 | [$logical, $physical, $length, $flags] |
|
|
1446 | |
|
|
1447 | Flags is any combination of the following flag values (typically either C<0> |
|
|
1448 | or C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST> (1)): |
|
|
1449 | |
|

1457 | At the time of this writing (Linux 3.2), this requets is unreliable unless |
