54 | This module implements asynchronous I/O using whatever means your |
54 | operating system supports. |
55 | operating system supports. |
|
|
56 | |
|
|
57 | Asynchronous means that operations that can normally block your program |
|
|
58 | (e.g. reading from disk) will be done asynchronously: the operation |
|
|
59 | will still block, but you can do something else in the meantime. This |
|
|
60 | is extremely useful for programs that need to stay interactive even |
|
|
61 | when doing heavy I/O (GUI programs, high performance network servers |
|
|
62 | etc.), but can also be used to easily do operations in parallel that are |
|
|
63 | normally done sequentially, e.g. stat'ing many files, which is much faster |
|
|
64 | on a RAID volume or over NFS when you do a number of stat operations |
|
|
65 | concurrently. |
|
|
66 | |
|
|
67 | While most of this works on all types of file descriptors (for |
|
|
68 | example sockets), using these functions on file descriptors that |
|
|
69 | support nonblocking operation (again, sockets, pipes etc.) is very |
|
|
70 | inefficient. Use an event loop for that (such as the L<Event|Event> |
|
|
71 | module): IO::AIO will naturally fit into such an event loop itself. |

|
|
89 | |
|
|
90 | This is a simple example that uses the Event module and loads |
|
|
91 | F</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, |

|
418 | =item aio_utime $fh_or_path, $atime, $mtime, $callback->($status) |
|
|
419 | |
|
|
420 | Works like perl's C<utime> function (including the special case of $atime |
|
|
421 | and $mtime being undef). Fractional times are supported if the underlying |
|
|
422 | syscalls support them. |
|
|
423 | |
|
|
424 | When called with a pathname, uses utimes(2) if available, otherwise |
|
|
425 | utime(2). If called on a file descriptor, uses futimes(2) if available, |
|
|
426 | otherwise returns ENOSYS, so this is not portable. |
|
|
427 | |
|
|
428 | Examples: |
|
|
429 | |
|
|
430 | # set atime and mtime to current time (basically touch(1)): |
|
|
431 | aio_utime "path", undef, undef; |
|
|
432 | # set atime to current time and mtime to beginning of the epoch: |
|
|
433 | aio_utime "path", time, undef; # undef==0 |
|
|
434 | |
|
|
435 | |
|
|
436 | =item aio_chown $fh_or_path, $uid, $gid, $callback->($status) |
|
|
437 | |
|
|
438 | Works like perl's C<chown> function, except that C<undef> for either $uid |
|
|
439 | or $gid is being interpreted as "do not change" (but -1 can also be used). |
|
|
440 | |
|
|
441 | Examples: |
|
|
442 | |
|
|
443 | # same as "chown root path" in the shell: |
|
|
444 | aio_chown "path", 0, -1; |
|
|
445 | # same as above: |
|
|
446 | aio_chown "path", 0, undef; |
|
|
447 | |
|
|
448 | |
|
|
449 | =item aio_truncate $fh_or_path, $offset, $callback->($status) |
|
|
450 | |
|
|
451 | Works like truncate(2) or ftruncate(2). |
|
|
452 | |
|
|
453 | |
|
|
454 | =item aio_chmod $fh_or_path, $mode, $callback->($status) |
