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

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

		453	the C<$in_fh>) is a file - the file I/O will then be asynchronous, while
		454	the socket I/O will be non-blocking. Note, however, that you can run
		455	into a trap where C<aio_sendfile> reads some data with readahead, then

		706	C<$name> is the name of the entry.

		712	C<IO::AIO::DT_WHT>.
		713
		714	C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to
		715	know, you have to run stat yourself. Also, for speed reasons, the C<$type>
		716	scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
		717
		718	C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64
		719	bit inode numbers and 32 bit perls). This field has unspecified content on
		720	systems that do not deliver the inode information.
		721

		723
		724	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order where

		726	you need to quickly find directories, or you want to find all directories
		727	while avoiding to stat() each entry.
		728
		729	If the system returns type information in readdir, then this is used

		735
		736	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
		737	suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()
		738	all files in the given directory, then the returned order will likely
		739	be fastest.
		740
		741	If both this flag and C<IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST> are specified, then

		1695
		1696	=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
		1697
		1698	Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
		1699	given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar.
		1700
		1701	The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
		1702	change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
		1703	or searching it with regexes and so on.
		1704
		1705	Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
		1706
		1707	The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
		1708	when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
		1709	C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
		1710
		1711	This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
		1712	page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
		1713
		1714	The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
		1715	filesize.
		1716
		1717	C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
		1718	C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
		1719
		1720	C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or

		1727
		1728	If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
		1729
		1730	C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be

		1779
		1780	You can also integrate IO::AIO manually into many event loops, here are

		1783	# EV integration
		1784	my $aio_w = EV::io IO::AIO::poll_fileno, EV::READ, \&IO::AIO::poll_cb;

		1792	add_watch Glib::IO IO::AIO::poll_fileno,

1267	This module should do "the right thing" when the process using it forks:	1805	Usage of pthreads in a program changes the semantics of fork
		1806	considerably. Specifically, only async-safe functions can be called after
		1807	fork. Perl doesn't know about this, so in general, you cannot call fork
		1808	with defined behaviour in perl. IO::AIO uses pthreads, so this applies,
		1809	but many other extensions and (for inexplicable reasons) perl itself often
		1810	is linked against pthreads, so this limitation applies.

1270	can be added in other threads and no results will be processed. After	1813	this module should do "the right thing" on those, and tries on others. At
1271	the fork the parent simply leaves the quiescent state and continues	1814	the time of this writing (2011) only GNU/Linux supports these extensions
1272	request/result processing, while the child frees the request/result queue	1815	to POSIX.
1273	(so that the requests started before the fork will only be handled in the
1274	parent). Threads will be started on demand until the limit set in the
1275	parent process has been reached again.
1276
1277	In short: the parent will, after a short pause, continue as if fork had
1278	not been called, while the child will act as if IO::AIO has not been used
1279	yet.
