		708	entry in more detail.
		709
		710	C<$name> is the name of the entry.
		711
		712	C<$type> is one of the C<IO::AIO::DT_xxx> constants:

		716	C<IO::AIO::DT_WHT>.
		717
		718	C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to
		719	know, you have to run stat yourself. Also, for speed reasons, the C<$type>
		720	scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
		721
		722	C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64
		723	bit inode numbers and 32 bit perls). This field has unspecified content on
		724	systems that do not deliver the inode information.
		725
		726	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST
		727
		728	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order where
		729	likely directories come first, in optimal stat order. This is useful when
		730	you need to quickly find directories, or you want to find all directories
		731	while avoiding to stat() each entry.
		732
		733	If the system returns type information in readdir, then this is used
		734	to find directories directly. Otherwise, likely directories are names

		737
		738	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_STAT_ORDER
		739
		740	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
		741	suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()
		742	all files in the given directory, then the returned order will likely
		743	be fastest.
		744
		745	If both this flag and C<IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST> are specified, then

		747
		748	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_FOUND_UNKNOWN
		749
		750	This flag should not be set when calling C<aio_readdirx>. Instead, it

		1696
		1697	=item IO::AIO::mprotect $scalar, $offset, $len, $protect
		1698
		1699	Simply calls the C<mprotect> function on the preferably AIO::mmap'ed
		1700	$scalar (see its manpage for details). The following protect
		1701	constants are available: C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ>,

		1703
		1704	On systems that do not implement C<mprotect>, this function returns

		1706
		1707	=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
		1708
		1709	Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
		1710	given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar.
		1711
		1712	The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
		1713	change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
		1714	or searching it with regexes and so on.
		1715
		1716	Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
		1717
		1718	The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
		1719	when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
		1720	C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
		1721
		1722	This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
		1723	page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
		1724
		1725	The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
		1726	filesize.
		1727
		1728	C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
		1729	C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
		1730
		1731	C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or
		1732	C<IO::AIO::MAP_PRIVATE>, or a number of system-specific flags (when
		1733	not available, the are defined as 0): C<IO::AIO::MAP_ANONYMOUS>
		1734	(which is set to C<MAP_ANON> if your system only provides this
		1735	constant), C<IO::AIO::MAP_HUGETLB>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_LOCKED>,
		1736	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NORESERVE>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_POPULATE> or
		1737	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NONBLOCK>
		1738
		1739	If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
		1740
		1741	C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
		1742	a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
		1743
		1744	Example:

		1765
		1766	=item IO::AIO::munlockall
		1767

		1791	You can also integrate IO::AIO manually into many event loops, here are
		1792	some examples of how to do this:
		1793
		1794	# EV integration
		1795	my $aio_w = EV::io IO::AIO::poll_fileno, EV::READ, \&IO::AIO::poll_cb;
		1796
		1797	# Event integration
		1798	Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
		1799	poll => 'r',
		1800	cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
		1801
		1802	# Glib/Gtk2 integration
		1803	add_watch Glib::IO IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
		1804	in => sub { IO::AIO::poll_cb; 1 };
		1805
		1806	# Tk integration
		1807	Tk::Event::IO->fileevent (IO::AIO::poll_fileno, "",
		1808	readable => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
		1809
		1810	# Danga::Socket integration
		1811	Danga::Socket->AddOtherFds (IO::AIO::poll_fileno =>
		1812	\&IO::AIO::poll_cb);

1267	This module should do "the right thing" when the process using it forks:	1816	Usage of pthreads in a program changes the semantics of fork
		1817	considerably. Specifically, only async-safe functions can be called after
		1818	fork. Perl doesn't know about this, so in general, you cannot call fork
		1819	with defined behaviour in perl if pthreads are involved. IO::AIO uses
		1820	pthreads, so this applies, but many other extensions and (for inexplicable
		1821	reasons) perl itself often is linked against pthreads, so this limitation
		1822	applies to quite a lot of perls.
1268		1823
1269	Before the fork, IO::AIO enters a quiescent state where no requests	1824	This module no longer tries to fight your OS, or POSIX. That means IO::AIO
1270	can be added in other threads and no results will be processed. After	1825	only works in the process that loaded it. Forking is fully supported, but

1272	request/result processing, while the child frees the request/result queue
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.

		1840	The only reasonable use for this function is to call it after forking, if
