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
68example sockets), using these functions on file descriptors that
69support nonblocking operation (again, sockets, pipes etc.) is very
70inefficient. Use an event loop for that (such as the L<Event|Event>
71module): IO::AIO will naturally fit into such an event loop itself.
55 72
56In this version, a number of threads are started that execute your 73In this version, a number of threads are started that execute your
57requests and signal their completion. You don't need thread support 74requests and signal their completion. You don't need thread support

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

1191
1192Limit the number of threads (default: 4) that are allowed to idle (i.e.,
1193threads that did not get a request to process within 10 seconds). That
1194means if a thread becomes idle while C<$nthreads> other threads are also
1195idle, it will free its resources and exit.
1196
1197This is useful when you allow a large number of threads (e.g. 100 or 1000)
1198to allow for extremely high load situations, but want to free resources
1199under normal circumstances (1000 threads can easily consume 30MB of RAM).

1201The default is probably ok in most situations, especially if thread
1202creation is fast. If thread creation is very slow on your system you might
1203want to use larger values.
