		555
		556	When this flag is off, then the callback gets an arrayref with of names
		557	only (as with C<aio_readdir>), otherwise it gets an arrayref with
		558	C<[$name, $type, $inode]> arrayrefs, each describing a single directory
		559	entry in more detail.
		560
		561	C<$name> is the name of the entry.
		562
		563	C<$type> is one of the C<IO::AIO::DT_xxx> constants:

		567	C<IO::AIO::DT_WHT>.
		568
		569	C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to
		570	know, you have to run stat yourself. Also, for speed reasons, the C<$type>
		571	scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
		572
		573	C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64
		574	bit inode numbers and 32 bit perls). This field has unspecified content on
		575	systems that do not deliver the inode information.
		576
		577	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST
		578
		579	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order where
		580	likely directories come first. This is useful when you need to quickly
		581	find directories, or you want to find all directories while avoiding to
		582	stat() each entry.
		583
		584	If the system returns type information in readdir, then this is used
		585	to find directories directly. Otherwise, likely directories are files

		587	short names are tried first.
		588
		589	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_STAT_ORDER
		590
		591	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
		592	suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()
		593	all files in the given directory, then the returned order will likely
		594	be fastest.
		595
		596	If both this flag and C<IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST> are specified, then
		597	the likely dirs come first, resulting in a less optimal stat order.
		598
		599	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_FOUND_UNKNOWN
		600
		601	This flag should not be set when calling C<aio_readdirx>. Instead, it
		602	is being set by C<aio_readdirx>, when any of the C<$type>'s found were
		603	C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN>. The absense of this flag therefore indicates that all
