323 329
330Therefore, C<aio_close> will not close the filehandle - instead it will
331use dup2 to overwrite the file descriptor with the write-end of a pipe
332(the pipe fd will be created on demand and will be cached).
333
334Or in other words: the file descriptor will be closed, but it will not be
335free for reuse until the perl filehandle is closed.

437=item aio_statvfs $fh_or_path, $callback->($statvfs)
438
439Works like the POSIX C<statvfs> or C<fstatvfs> syscalls, depending on
440whether a file handle or path was passed.
441
442On success, the callback is passed a hash reference with the following
443members: C<bsize>, C<frsize>, C<blocks>, C<bfree>, C<bavail>, C<files>,
444C<ffree>, C<favail>, C<fsid>, C<flag> and C<namemax>. On failure, C<undef>
445is passed.

450The following non-POSIX IO::AIO::ST_* flag masks are defined to

587
588=item aio_readdirx $pathname, $flags, $callback->($entries, $flags)
589
590Quite similar to C<aio_readdir>, but the C<$flags> argument allows to tune
591behaviour and output format. In case of an error, C<$entries> will be
592C<undef>.
593
594The flags are a combination of the following constants, ORed together (the
595flags will also be passed to the callback, possibly modified):
596
597=over 4
598
599=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DENTS
600
601When this flag is off, then the callback gets an arrayref with of names
602only (as with C<aio_readdir>), otherwise it gets an arrayref with
603C<[$name, $type, $inode]> arrayrefs, each describing a single directory
604entry in more detail.
605
606C<$name> is the name of the entry.
607
608C<$type> is one of the C<IO::AIO::DT_xxx> constants:
609
610C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN>, C<IO::AIO::DT_FIFO>, C<IO::AIO::DT_CHR>, C<IO::AIO::DT_DIR>,
611C<IO::AIO::DT_BLK>, C<IO::AIO::DT_REG>, C<IO::AIO::DT_LNK>, C<IO::AIO::DT_SOCK>,
612C<IO::AIO::DT_WHT>.
613
614C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to
615know, you have to run stat yourself. Also, for speed reasons, the C<$type>
616scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
617
618C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64
619bit inode numbers and 32 bit perls). This field has unspecified content on
620systems that do not deliver the inode information.
621
622=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST
623
624When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order where
625likely directories come first. This is useful when you need to quickly
626find directories, or you want to find all directories while avoiding to
627stat() each entry.
628
629If the system returns type information in readdir, then this is used
630to find directories directly. Otherwise, likely directories are files
631beginning with ".", or otherwise files with no dots, of which files with
632short names are tried first.
633
634=item IO::AIO::READDIR_STAT_ORDER
635
636When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
637suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()
638all files in the given directory, then the returned order will likely
639be fastest.
640
641If both this flag and C<IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST> are specified, then
642the likely dirs come first, resulting in a less optimal stat order.
643
644=item IO::AIO::READDIR_FOUND_UNKNOWN
645
646This flag should not be set when calling C<aio_readdirx>. Instead, it
647is being set by C<aio_readdirx>, when any of the C<$type>'s found were
648C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN>. The absense of this flag therefore indicates that all
649C<$type>'s are known, which can be used to speed up some algorithms.

1002This request tries to open, fsync and close the given path. This is a
1003composite request intended to sync directories after directory operations
1004(E.g. rename). This might not work on all operating systems or have any
1005specific effect, but usually it makes sure that directory changes get
1006written to disc. It works for anything that can be opened for read-only,
1007not just directories.

1009Future versions of this function might fall back to other methods when
1010C<fsync> on the directory fails (such as calling C<sync>).
