		1380	C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAG_XATTR> - C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAGS_COMPAT> is also
		1381	exported), and is normally C<0> or C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC> to query
		1382	the data portion.
		1383
		1384	C<$count> is the maximum number of extent records to return. If it is
		1385	C<undef>, then IO::AIO queries all extents of the range. As a very special
		1386	case, if it is C<0>, then the callback receives the number of extents
		1387	instead of the extents themselves (which is unreliable, see below).
		1388
		1389	If an error occurs, the callback receives no arguments. The special
		1390	C<errno> value C<IO::AIO::EBADR> is available to test for flag errors.
		1391
		1392	Otherwise, the callback receives an array reference with extent
		1393	structures. Each extent structure is an array reference itself, with the
		1394	following members:
		1395
		1396	[$logical, $physical, $length, $flags]
		1397
		1398	Flags is any combination of the following flag values (typically either C<0>
		1399	or C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST> (1)):

		1401	C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST>, C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_UNKNOWN>,
		1402	C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_DELALLOC>, C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_ENCODED>,
		1403	C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_DATA_ENCRYPTED>, C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_NOT_ALIGNED>,

		1406	C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_SHARED>.
		1407
		1408	At the time of this writing (Linux 3.2), this requets is unreliable unless
		1409	C<$count> is C<undef>, as the kernel has all sorts of bugs preventing
		1410	it to return all extents of a range for files with large number of
		1411	extents. The code works around all these issues if C<$count> is undef.
