52 53
53This module implements asynchronous I/O using whatever means your 54This module implements asynchronous I/O using whatever means your
54operating system supports. 55operating system supports.
56
57Asynchronous means that operations that can normally block your program
58(e.g. reading from disk) will be done asynchronously: the operation
59will still block, but you can do something else in the meantime. This
60is extremely useful for programs that need to stay interactive even
61when doing heavy I/O (GUI programs, high performance network servers
62etc.), but can also be used to easily do operations in parallel that are
63normally done sequentially, e.g. stat'ing many files, which is much faster
64on a RAID volume or over NFS when you do a number of stat operations
65concurrently.
66
67While most of this works on all types of file descriptors (for example
68sockets), using these functions on file descriptors that support
69nonblocking operation (again, sockets, pipes etc.) is very inefficient or
70might not work (aio_read fails on sockets/pipes/fifos). Use an event loop
71for that (such as the L<Event|Event> module): IO::AIO will naturally fit
72into such an event loop itself.
55 73
56In this version, a number of threads are started that execute your 74In this version, a number of threads are started that execute your
57requests and signal their completion. You don't need thread support 75requests and signal their completion. You don't need thread support

89=head2 EXAMPLE
90
91This is a simple example that uses the Event module and loads
92F</etc/passwd> asynchronously:
93
94 use Fcntl;
95 use Event;
96 use IO::AIO;
97
98 # register the IO::AIO callback with Event
99 Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
100 poll => 'r',
101 cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
102
103 # queue the request to open /etc/passwd
104 aio_open "/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY, 0, sub {
105 my $fh = shift
106 or die "error while opening: $!";
107
108 # stat'ing filehandles is generally non-blocking
109 my $size = -s $fh;
110
111 # queue a request to read the file
112 my $contents;
113 aio_read $fh, 0, $size, $contents, 0, sub {
114 $_[0] == $size
115 or die "short read: $!";
116
117 close $fh;
118
119 # file contents now in $contents
120 print $contents;
121
122 # exit event loop and program
123 Event::unloop;
124 };
125 };
126
127 # possibly queue up other requests, or open GUI windows,
128 # check for sockets etc. etc.

1033Setting C<max_poll_time> to a non-zero value creates an overhead of one
1034syscall per request processed, which is not normally a problem unless your
