318Unlike the other functions operating on files, this function uses the 378Unfortunately, you can't do this to perl. Perl I<insists> very strongly on
319PerlIO layer to close the filehandle. The reason is that the PerlIO API 379closing the file descriptor associated with the filehandle itself.
320insists on closing the underlying fd itself, no matter what, and doesn't
321allow modifications to the fd. Unfortunately, it is not clear that you can
322call PerlIO from different threads (actually, its quite clear that this
323won't work in some cases), so while it likely works perfectly with simple
324file handles (such as the ones created by C<aio_open>) it might fail in
325interesting ways for others.

385Or in other words: the file descriptor will be closed, but it will not be
386free for reuse until the perl filehandle is closed.

433Please note that C<aio_sendfile> can read more bytes from C<$in_fh> than
434are written, and there is no way to find out how many bytes have been read
435from C<aio_sendfile> alone, as C<aio_sendfile> only provides the number of
436bytes written to C<$out_fh>. Only if the result value equals C<$length>
437one can assume that C<$length> bytes have been read.
438
439Unlike with other C<aio_> functions, it makes a lot of sense to use
440C<aio_sendfile> on non-blocking sockets, as long as one end (typically
441the C<$in_fh>) is a file - the file I/O will then be asynchronous, while
442the socket I/O will be non-blocking. Note, however, that you can run into
443a trap where C<aio_sendfile> reads some data with readahead, then fails
444to write all data, and when the socket is ready the next time, the data
445in the cache is already lost, forcing C<aio_sendfile> to again hit the
446disk. Explicit C<aio_read> + C<aio_write> let's you control resource usage
447much better.

509whether a file handle or path was passed.

514is passed.

657
658
659=item aio_readdirx $pathname, $flags, $callback->($entries, $flags)
660
661Quite similar to C<aio_readdir>, but the C<$flags> argument allows to tune
662behaviour and output format. In case of an error, C<$entries> will be
663C<undef>.
664
665The flags are a combination of the following constants, ORed together (the
666flags will also be passed to the callback, possibly modified):
667
668=over 4
669
670=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DENTS
671
672When this flag is off, then the callback gets an arrayref with of names
673only (as with C<aio_readdir>), otherwise it gets an arrayref with
674C<[$name, $type, $inode]> arrayrefs, each describing a single directory
675entry in more detail.
676
677C<$name> is the name of the entry.
678
679C<$type> is one of the C<IO::AIO::DT_xxx> constants:
680
681C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN>, C<IO::AIO::DT_FIFO>, C<IO::AIO::DT_CHR>, C<IO::AIO::DT_DIR>,
682C<IO::AIO::DT_BLK>, C<IO::AIO::DT_REG>, C<IO::AIO::DT_LNK>, C<IO::AIO::DT_SOCK>,
683C<IO::AIO::DT_WHT>.
684
685C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to
686know, you have to run stat yourself. Also, for speed reasons, the C<$type>
687scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
688
689C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64
690bit inode numbers and 32 bit perls). This field has unspecified content on
691systems that do not deliver the inode information.
692
693=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST
694
695When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order where
696likely directories come first. This is useful when you need to quickly
697find directories, or you want to find all directories while avoiding to
698stat() each entry.
699
700If the system returns type information in readdir, then this is used
701to find directories directly. Otherwise, likely directories are files
702beginning with ".", or otherwise files with no dots, of which files with
703short names are tried first.
704
705=item IO::AIO::READDIR_STAT_ORDER
706
707When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
708suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()
709all files in the given directory, then the returned order will likely
710be fastest.
711
712If both this flag and C<IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST> are specified, then
713the likely dirs come first, resulting in a less optimal stat order.
714
715=item IO::AIO::READDIR_FOUND_UNKNOWN
716
717This flag should not be set when calling C<aio_readdirx>. Instead, it
718is being set by C<aio_readdirx>, when any of the C<$type>'s found were
719C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN>. The absense of this flag therefore indicates that all
720C<$type>'s are known, which can be used to speed up some algorithms.

1072
1073This request tries to open, fsync and close the given path. This is a
1074composite request intended to sync directories after directory operations
1075(E.g. rename). This might not work on all operating systems or have any
1076specific effect, but usually it makes sure that directory changes get
1077written to disc. It works for anything that can be opened for read-only,
1078not just directories.
1079
1080Future versions of this function might fall back to other methods when
1081C<fsync> on the directory fails (such as calling C<sync>).

1113
1114This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which only works on mmap(2)ed
1115scalars (see the C<IO::AIO::mmap> function, although it also works on data
1116scalars managed by the L<Sys::Mmap> or L<Mmap> modules, note that the
1117scalar must only be modified in-place while an aio operation is pending on
1118it).
1119
1120It calls the C<msync> function of your OS, if available, with the memory
1121area starting at C<$offset> in the string and ending C<$length> bytes
1122later. If C<$length> is negative, counts from the end, and if C<$length>
1123is C<undef>, then it goes till the end of the string. The flags can be

1129This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which works best on mmap(2)ed
1130scalars.
1131
1132It touches (reads or writes) all memory pages in the specified
1133range inside the scalar. All caveats and parameters are the same
1134as for C<aio_msync>, above, except for flags, which must be either
1135C<0> (which reads all pages and ensures they are instantiated) or
1136C<IO::AIO::MT_MODIFY>, which modifies the memory page s(by reading and
1137writing an octet from it, which dirties the page).

1140
1141This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which works best on mmap(2)ed
1142scalars.
1143
1144It reads in all the pages of the underlying storage into memory (if any)
1145and locks them, so they are not getting swapped/paged out or removed.
1146
1147If C<$length> is undefined, then the scalar will be locked till the end.
1148
1149On systems that do not implement C<mlock>, this function returns C<-1>
1150and sets errno to C<ENOSYS>.

1591IO::AIO implements some functions that might be useful, but are not
1592asynchronous.
1593
1594=over 4
1595
1596=item IO::AIO::sendfile $ofh, $ifh, $offset, $count
1597
1598Calls the C<eio_sendfile_sync> function, which is like C<aio_sendfile>,
1599but is blocking (this makes most sense if you know the input data is
1600likely cached already and the output filehandle is set to non-blocking
1601operations).
1602
1603Returns the number of bytes copied, or C<-1> on error.
1604
1605=item IO::AIO::fadvise $fh, $offset, $len, $advice
1606
1607Simply calls the C<posix_fadvise> function (see its
1608manpage for details). The following advice constants are
1609avaiable: C<IO::AIO::FADV_NORMAL>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_SEQUENTIAL>,
1610C<IO::AIO::FADV_RANDOM>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_NOREUSE>,
1611C<IO::AIO::FADV_WILLNEED>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_DONTNEED>.
1612
1613On systems that do not implement C<posix_fadvise>, this function returns
1614ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<posix_fadvise>.
1615
1616=item IO::AIO::madvise $scalar, $offset, $len, $advice
1617
1618Simply calls the C<posix_madvise> function (see its
1619manpage for details). The following advice constants are
1620avaiable: C<IO::AIO::MADV_NORMAL>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_SEQUENTIAL>,
1621C<IO::AIO::MADV_RANDOM>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_WILLNEED>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_DONTNEED>.
1622
1623On systems that do not implement C<posix_madvise>, this function returns
1624ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<posix_madvise>.
1625
1626=item IO::AIO::mprotect $scalar, $offset, $len, $protect
1627
1628Simply calls the C<mprotect> function on the preferably AIO::mmap'ed
1629$scalar (see its manpage for details). The following protect
1630constants are avaiable: C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ>,
1631C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>.
1632
1633On systems that do not implement C<mprotect>, this function returns
1634ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<mprotect>.
1635
1636=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
1637
1638Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
1639given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar.
1640
1641The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
1642change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
1643or searching it with regexes and so on.
1644
1645Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
1646
1647The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
1648when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
1649C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
1650
1651This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
1652page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
1653
1654The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
1655filesize.
1656
1657C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
1658C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
1659
1660C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or
1661C<IO::AIO::MAP_PRIVATE>, or a number of system-specific flags (when
1662not available, the are defined as 0): C<IO::AIO::MAP_ANONYMOUS>
1663(which is set to C<MAP_ANON> if your system only provides this
1664constant), C<IO::AIO::MAP_HUGETLB>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_LOCKED>,
1665C<IO::AIO::MAP_NORESERVE>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_POPULATE> or
1666C<IO::AIO::MAP_NONBLOCK>
1667
1668If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
1669
1670C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
1671a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
1672
1673Example:
1674
1675 use Digest::MD5;
1676 use IO::AIO;
1677
1678 open my $fh, "<verybigfile"
1679 or die "$!";
1680
1681 IO::AIO::mmap my $data, -s $fh, IO::AIO::PROT_READ, IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED, $fh
1682 or die "verybigfile: $!";
1683
1684 my $fast_md5 = md5 $data;
1685
1686=item IO::AIO::munmap $scalar
1687
1688Removes a previous mmap and undefines the C<$scalar>.
1689
1690=item IO::AIO::munlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef
1691
1692Calls the C<munlock> function, undoing the effects of a previous
1693C<aio_mlock> call (see its description for details).
1694
1695=item IO::AIO::munlockall
1696
1697Calls the C<munlockall> function.
1698
1699On systems that do not implement C<munlockall>, this function returns
1700ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<munlockall>.

1712=head1 EVENT LOOP INTEGRATION
1713
1714It is recommended to use L<AnyEvent::AIO> to integrate IO::AIO
1715automatically into many event loops:
1716
1717 # AnyEvent integration (EV, Event, Glib, Tk, POE, urxvt, pureperl...)
1718 use AnyEvent::AIO;
1719
1720You can also integrate IO::AIO manually into many event loops, here are
1721some examples of how to do this:
1722
1723 # EV integration
1724 my $aio_w = EV::io IO::AIO::poll_fileno, EV::READ, \&IO::AIO::poll_cb;
1725
1726 # Event integration
1727 Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
1728 poll => 'r',
1729 cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
1730
1731 # Glib/Gtk2 integration
1732 add_watch Glib::IO IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
1733 in => sub { IO::AIO::poll_cb; 1 };
1734
1735 # Tk integration
1736 Tk::Event::IO->fileevent (IO::AIO::poll_fileno, "",
1737 readable => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
1738
1739 # Danga::Socket integration
1740 Danga::Socket->AddOtherFds (IO::AIO::poll_fileno =>
1741 \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
