		444	Please note that C<aio_sendfile> can read more bytes from C<$in_fh> than

		450	Unlike with other C<aio_> functions, it makes a lot of sense to use

		452	the C<$in_fh>) is a file - the file I/O will then be asynchronous, while
		453	the socket I/O will be non-blocking. Note, however, that you can run
		454	into a trap where C<aio_sendfile> reads some data with readahead, then
		455	fails to write all data, and when the socket is ready the next time, the
		456	data in the cache is already lost, forcing C<aio_sendfile> to again hit
		457	the disk. Explicit C<aio_read> + C<aio_write> let's you better control
		458	resource usage.

		686	=over 4
		687
		688	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DENTS
		689
		690	When this flag is off, then the callback gets an arrayref consisting of
		691	names only (as with C<aio_readdir>), otherwise it gets an arrayref with
		692	C<[$name, $type, $inode]> arrayrefs, each describing a single directory
		693	entry in more detail.
		694
		695	C<$name> is the name of the entry.
		696
		697	C<$type> is one of the C<IO::AIO::DT_xxx> constants:
		698
		699	C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN>, C<IO::AIO::DT_FIFO>, C<IO::AIO::DT_CHR>, C<IO::AIO::DT_DIR>,
		700	C<IO::AIO::DT_BLK>, C<IO::AIO::DT_REG>, C<IO::AIO::DT_LNK>, C<IO::AIO::DT_SOCK>,
		701	C<IO::AIO::DT_WHT>.
		702
		703	C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to
		704	know, you have to run stat yourself. Also, for speed reasons, the C<$type>
		705	scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
		706
		707	C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64
		708	bit inode numbers and 32 bit perls). This field has unspecified content on
		709	systems that do not deliver the inode information.
		710
		711	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST
		712
		713	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order where
		714	likely directories come first, in optimal stat order. This is useful when
		715	you need to quickly find directories, or you want to find all directories
		716	while avoiding to stat() each entry.
		717
		718	If the system returns type information in readdir, then this is used
		719	to find directories directly. Otherwise, likely directories are names
		720	beginning with ".", or otherwise names with no dots, of which names with
		721	short names are tried first.
		722
		723	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_STAT_ORDER
		724
		725	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
		726	suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()
		727	all files in the given directory, then the returned order will likely
		728	be fastest.
		729
		730	If both this flag and C<IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST> are specified, then
		731	the likely dirs come first, resulting in a less optimal stat order.
		732
		733	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_FOUND_UNKNOWN
		734
		735	This flag should not be set when calling C<aio_readdirx>. Instead, it
		736	is being set by C<aio_readdirx>, when any of the C<$type>'s found were
		737	C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN>. The absense of this flag therefore indicates that all
		738	C<$type>'s are known, which can be used to speed up some algorithms.

		1674
		1675	=item IO::AIO::mprotect $scalar, $offset, $len, $protect
		1676
		1677	Simply calls the C<mprotect> function on the preferably AIO::mmap'ed
		1678	$scalar (see its manpage for details). The following protect
		1679	constants are avaiable: C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ>,

		1684
		1685	=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
		1686
		1687	Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
		1688	given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar.
		1689
		1690	The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
		1691	change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
		1692	or searching it with regexes and so on.
		1693
		1694	Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
		1695
		1696	The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
		1697	when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
		1698	C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
		1699
		1700	This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
		1701	page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
		1702
		1703	The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
		1704	filesize.
		1705
		1706	C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
		1707	C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
		1708
		1709	C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or
		1710	C<IO::AIO::MAP_PRIVATE>, or a number of system-specific flags (when
		1711	not available, the are defined as 0): C<IO::AIO::MAP_ANONYMOUS>
		1712	(which is set to C<MAP_ANON> if your system only provides this
		1713	constant), C<IO::AIO::MAP_HUGETLB>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_LOCKED>,

		1715	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NONBLOCK>
		1716
		1717	If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
		1718
		1719	C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
		1720	a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
