57	}
58
59	=item IO::AIO::min_parallel $nthreads
60
61	Set the minimum number of AIO threads to C<$nthreads>. The default is
62	C<1>, which means a single asynchronous operation can be done at one time
63	(the number of outstanding operations, however, is unlimited).
64
65	It is recommended to keep the number of threads low, as some linux
66	kernel versions will scale negatively with the number of threads (higher
67	parallelity => MUCH higher latency).
68
69	Under normal circumstances you don't need to call this function, as this
70	module automatically starts a single async thread.
71
72	=item IO::AIO::max_parallel $nthreads
73
74	Sets the maximum number of AIO threads to C<$nthreads>. If more than
75	the specified number of threads are currently running, kill them. This
76	function blocks until the limit is reached.
77
78	This module automatically runs C<max_parallel 0> at program end, to ensure
79	that all threads are killed and that there are no outstanding requests.
80
81	Under normal circumstances you don't need to call this function.
82
83	=item $fileno = IO::AIO::poll_fileno
84
85	Return the I<request result pipe filehandle>. This filehandle must be
86	polled for reading by some mechanism outside this module (e.g. Event
87	or select, see below). If the pipe becomes readable you have to call
88	C<poll_cb> to check the results.
89
90	See C<poll_cb> for an example.
91
92	=item IO::AIO::poll_cb
93
94	Process all outstanding events on the result pipe. You have to call this
95	regularly. Returns the number of events processed. Returns immediately
96	when no events are outstanding.
97
98	You can use Event to multiplex, e.g.:
99
100	Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
101	poll => 'r', async => 1,
102	cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
103
104	=item IO::AIO::poll_wait
105
106	Wait till the result filehandle becomes ready for reading (simply does a
107	select on the filehandle. This is useful if you want to synchronously wait
108	for some requests to finish).
109
110	See C<nreqs> for an example.
111
112	=item IO::AIO::nreqs
113
114	Returns the number of requests currently outstanding.
115
116	Example: wait till there are no outstanding requests anymore:
117
118	IO::AIO::poll_wait, IO::AIO::poll_cb

		343	sorted, and will B<NOT> include the C<.> and C<..> entries.
		344
		345	The callback a single argument which is either C<undef> or an array-ref
		346	with the filenames.

		348	=item aio_scandir $path, $maxreq, $callback->($dirs, $nondirs)
		349
		350	[EXPERIMENTAL due to internal aio_group use]
		351
		352	Scans a directory (similar to C<aio_readdir>) but additionally tries to
		353	separate the entries of directory C<$path> into two sets of names, ones
		354	you can recurse into (directories or links to them), and ones you cannot
		355	recurse into (everything else).
		356
		357	C<aio_scandir> is a composite request that creates of many sub requests_
		358	C<$maxreq> specifies the maximum number of outstanding aio requests that
		359	this function generates. If it is C<< <= 0 >>, then a suitable default
		360	will be chosen (currently 6).
		361
		362	On error, the callback is called without arguments, otherwise it receives
		363	two array-refs with path-relative entry names.
		364
		365	Example:
		366
		367	aio_scandir $dir, 0, sub {
		368	my ($dirs, $nondirs) = @_;
		369	print "real directories: @$dirs\n";
		370	print "everything else: @$nondirs\n";
		371	};
		372
		373	Implementation notes.
		374
		375	The C<aio_readdir> cannot be avoided, but C<stat()>'ing every entry can.
		376
		377	After reading the directory, the modification time, size etc. of the
		378	directory before and after the readdir is checked, and if they match (and
		379	isn't the current time), the link count will be used to decide how many
		380	entries are directories (if >= 2). Otherwise, no knowledge of the number
		381	of subdirectories will be assumed.
		382
		383	Then entries will be sorted into likely directories (everything without
		384	a non-initial dot currently) and likely non-directories (everything
		385	else). Then every entry plus an appended C</.> will be C<stat>'ed,
		386	likely directories first. If that succeeds, it assumes that the entry
		387	is a directory or a symlink to directory (which will be checked
		388	seperately). This is often faster than stat'ing the entry itself because
		389	filesystems might detect the type of the entry without reading the inode
		390	data (e.g. ext2fs filetype feature).
		391
		392	If the known number of directories (link count - 2) has been reached, the
		393	rest of the entries is assumed to be non-directories.
		394
		395	This only works with certainty on POSIX (= UNIX) filesystems, which
		396	fortunately are the vast majority of filesystems around.
		397
		398	It will also likely work on non-POSIX filesystems with reduced efficiency
		399	as those tend to return 0 or 1 as link counts, which disables the
		400	directory counting heuristic.

		519
		520	This is a very special aio request: Instead of doing something, it is a

		522	many requests into a single, composite, request.

		536	...;
		537
		538	=item aio_nop $callback->()
		539
		540	This is a special request - it does nothing in itself and is only used for
		541	side effects, such as when you want to add a dummy request to a group so
		542	that finishing the requests in the group depends on executing the given

		549
		550	While it is theoretically handy to have simple I/O scheduling requests

		552	is immense, so do not use this function except to put your application

		557	=head2 IO::AIO::REQ CLASS
		558
		559	All non-aggregate C<aio_*> functions return an object of this class when
		560	called in non-void context.
		561
		562	A request always moves through the following five states in its lifetime,
		563	in order: B<ready> (request has been created, but has not been executed
		564	yet), B<execute> (request is currently being executed), B<pending>
		565	(request has been executed but callback has not been called yet),
		566	B<result> (results are being processed synchronously, includes calling the
		567	callback) and B<done> (request has reached the end of its lifetime and
		568	holds no resources anymore).
		569
		570	=over 4
		571
		572	=item $req->cancel
		573
		574	Cancels the request, if possible. Has the effect of skipping execution
		575	when entering the B<execute> state and skipping calling the callback when
		576	entering the the B<result> state, but will leave the request otherwise
		577	untouched. That means that requests that currently execute will not be
		578	stopped and resources held by the request will not be freed prematurely.
		579
		580	=back
		581
		582	=head2 IO::AIO::GRP CLASS
		583
		584	This class is a subclass of L<IO::AIO::REQ>, so all its methods apply to
		585	objects of this class, too.
		586
		587	A IO::AIO::GRP object is a special request that can contain multiple other
		588	aio requests.
		589
		590	You create one by calling the C<aio_group> constructing function with a
		591	callback that will be called when all contained requests have entered the
		592	C<done> state:
		593
		594	my $grp = aio_group sub {
		595	print "all requests are done\n";
		596	};
		597
		598	You add requests by calling the C<add> method with one or more
		599	C<IO::AIO::REQ> objects:
		600
		601	$grp->add (aio_unlink "...");
		602
		603	add $grp aio_stat "...", sub {
		604	$_[0] or return $grp->result ("error");
		605
		606	# add another request dynamically, if first succeeded
		607	add $grp aio_open "...", sub {
		608	$grp->result ("ok");
		609	};
		610	};
		611
		612	This makes it very easy to create composite requests (see the source of
		613	C<aio_move> for an application) that work and feel like simple requests.
		614
		615	=over 4
		616
		617	=item * The IO::AIO::GRP objects will be cleaned up during calls to
		618	C<IO::AIO::poll_cb>, just like any other request.
		619
		620	=item * They can be canceled like any other request. Canceling will cancel not
		621	only the request itself, but also all requests it contains.
		622
		623	=item * They can also can also be added to other IO::AIO::GRP objects.
		624
		625	=item * You must not add requests to a group from within the group callback (or
		626	any later time).
		627
		628	=item * This does not harmonise well with C<max_outstanding>, so best do
		629	not combine C<aio_group> with it. Groups and feeders are recommended for
		630	this kind of concurrency-limiting.
		631
		632	=back
		633
		634	Their lifetime, simplified, looks like this: when they are empty, they
		635	will finish very quickly. If they contain only requests that are in the
		636	C<done> state, they will also finish. Otherwise they will continue to
		637	exist.
		638
		639	That means after creating a group you have some time to add requests. And
		640	in the callbacks of those requests, you can add further requests to the
		641	group. And only when all those requests have finished will the the group
		642	itself finish.

		650	Add one or more requests to the group. Any type of L<IO::AIO::REQ> can
		651	be added, including other groups, as long as you do not create circular
		652	dependencies.
		653
		654	Returns all its arguments.
		655
		656	=item $grp->result (...)
		657
		658	Set the result value(s) that will be passed to the group callback when all
		659	subrequests have finished. By default, no argument will be passed.
		660
		661	=item $grp->set_feeder ($callback->($grp))
		662
		663	[VERY EXPERIMENTAL]
		664
		665	Sets a feeder/generator on this group: every group can have an attached
		666	generator that generates requests if idle. The idea behind this is that,
		667	although you could just queue as many requests as you want in a group,
		668	this might starve other requests for a potentially long time. For
		669	example, C<aio_scandir> might generate hundreds of thousands C<aio_stat>
		670	requests, delaying any later requests for a long time.
		671
		672	To avoid this, and allow incremental generation of requests, you can
		673	instead a group and set a feeder on it that generates those requests. The
		674	feeder will be called whenever there are few enough (see C<feeder_limit>,
		675	below) requests active in the group itself and is expected to queue more
		676	requests.
		677
		678	The feeder can queue as many requests as it likes (i.e. C<add> does not
		679	impose any limits).
		680
		681	If the feeder does not queue more requests when called, it will be
		682	automatically removed from the group.
		683
		684	If the feeder limit is C<0>, it will be set to C<2> automatically.
		685
		686	Example:
		687
		688	# stat all files in @files, but only ever use four aio requests concurrently:
		689
		690	my $grp = aio_group sub { print "finished\n" };
		691	$grp->feeder_limit (4);
		692	$grp->set_feeder (sub {
		693	my $file = pop @files
		694	or return;
		695
		696	add $grp aio_stat $file, sub { ... };
		697	});
		698
		699	=item $grp->feeder_limit ($num)
		700
		701	Sets the feeder limit for the group: The feeder will be called whenever
		702	the group contains less than this many requests.
		703
		704	Setting the limit to C<0> will pause the feeding process.

		712	=item $fileno = IO::AIO::poll_fileno
		713
		714	Return the I<request result pipe file descriptor>. This filehandle must be
		715	polled for reading by some mechanism outside this module (e.g. Event or
		716	select, see below or the SYNOPSIS). If the pipe becomes readable you have
		717	to call C<poll_cb> to check the results.
		718
		719	See C<poll_cb> for an example.
		720
		721	=item IO::AIO::poll_cb
		722
		723	Process all outstanding events on the result pipe. You have to call this
		724	regularly. Returns the number of events processed. Returns immediately
		725	when no events are outstanding.
		726
		727	Example: Install an Event watcher that automatically calls
		728	IO::AIO::poll_cb with high priority:
		729
		730	Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
		731	poll => 'r', async => 1,
		732	cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
		733
		734	=item IO::AIO::poll_wait
		735
		736	Wait till the result filehandle becomes ready for reading (simply does a
		737	C<select> on the filehandle. This is useful if you want to synchronously wait
		738	for some requests to finish).
		739
		740	See C<nreqs> for an example.
		741
		742	=item IO::AIO::nreqs
		743
		744	Returns the number of requests currently outstanding (i.e. for which their
		745	callback has not been invoked yet).
		746
		747	Example: wait till there are no outstanding requests anymore:
		748
		749	IO::AIO::poll_wait, IO::AIO::poll_cb
		750	while IO::AIO::nreqs;
		751
		752	=item IO::AIO::flush

		759	while IO::AIO::nreqs;
		760
		761	=item IO::AIO::poll
		762
		763	Waits until some requests have been handled.

		768	if IO::AIO::nreqs;
		769
		770	=item IO::AIO::min_parallel $nthreads
		771
		772	Set the minimum number of AIO threads to C<$nthreads>. The current
		773	default is C<8>, which means eight asynchronous operations can execute
		774	concurrently at any one time (the number of outstanding requests,
		775	however, is unlimited).
		776
		777	IO::AIO starts threads only on demand, when an AIO request is queued and
		778	no free thread exists.
		779
		780	It is recommended to keep the number of threads relatively low, as some
		781	Linux kernel versions will scale negatively with the number of threads
		782	(higher parallelity => MUCH higher latency). With current Linux 2.6
		783	versions, 4-32 threads should be fine.
		784
		785	Under most circumstances you don't need to call this function, as the
		786	module selects a default that is suitable for low to moderate load.
		787
		788	=item IO::AIO::max_parallel $nthreads
		789
		790	Sets the maximum number of AIO threads to C<$nthreads>. If more than the
		791	specified number of threads are currently running, this function kills
		792	them. This function blocks until the limit is reached.
		793
		794	While C<$nthreads> are zero, aio requests get queued but not executed
		795	until the number of threads has been increased again.
		796
		797	This module automatically runs C<max_parallel 0> at program end, to ensure
		798	that all threads are killed and that there are no outstanding requests.
		799
		800	Under normal circumstances you don't need to call this function.
		801
		802	=item $oldnreqs = IO::AIO::max_outstanding $nreqs
		803
		804	[DEPRECATED]
		805
		806	Sets the maximum number of outstanding requests to C<$nreqs>. If you
		807	try to queue up more than this number of requests, the caller will block until
		808	some requests have been handled.
		809
		810	The default is very large, so normally there is no practical limit. If you
		811	queue up many requests in a loop it often improves speed if you set
		812	this to a relatively low number, such as C<100>.
		813
		814	This function does not work well together with C<aio_group>'s, and their
		815	feeder interface is better suited to limiting concurrency, so do not use
		816	this function.

230		849
231	=head1 BUGS	850	This module should do "the right thing" when the process using it forks:
232		851
233	- aio_open gives a fd, but all other functions expect a perl filehandle.	852	Before the fork, IO::AIO enters a quiescent state where no requests
		853	can be added in other threads and no results will be processed. After
		854	the fork the parent simply leaves the quiescent state and continues
		855	request/result processing, while the child clears the request/result
		856	queue (so the requests started before the fork will only be handled in
		857	the parent). Threads will be started on demand until the limit ste in the
		858	parent process has been reached again.
		859
		860	In short: the parent will, after a short pause, continue as if fork had
		861	not been called, while the child will act as if IO::AIO has not been used
		862	yet.
		863
		864	=head2 MEMORY USAGE
		865
		866	Each aio request uses - depending on your architecture - around 128 bytes
		867	of memory. In addition, stat requests need a stat buffer (possibly a few
