321closing the file descriptor associated with the filehandle itself. Here is 327closing the file descriptor associated with the filehandle itself.
322what aio_close will try:
323 328
324 1. dup()licate the fd 329Therefore, C<aio_close> will not close the filehandle - instead it will
325 2. asynchronously close() the duplicated fd 330use dup2 to overwrite the file descriptor with the write-end of a pipe
326 3. dup()licate the fd once more 331(the pipe fd will be created on demand and will be cached).
327 4. let perl close() the filehandle
328 5. asynchronously close the duplicated fd
329 332
330The idea is that the first close() flushes stuff to disk that closing an 333Or in other words: the file descriptor will be closed, but it will not be
331fd will flush, so when perl closes the fd, nothing much will need to be 334free for reuse until the perl filehandle is closed.
332flushed. The second async. close() will then flush stuff to disk that
333closing the last fd to the file will flush.
334
335Just FYI, SuSv3 has this to say on close:
336
337 All outstanding record locks owned by the process on the file
338 associated with the file descriptor shall be removed.
339
340 If fildes refers to a socket, close() shall cause the socket to be
341 destroyed. ... close() shall block for up to the current linger
342 interval until all data is transmitted.
343 [this actually sounds like a specification bug, but who knows]
344
345And at least Linux additionally actually flushes stuff on every close,
346even when the file itself is still open.
347
348Sounds enourmously inefficient and complicated? Yes... please show me how
349to nuke perl's fd out of existence...

542
543Quite similar to C<aio_readdir>, but the C<$flags> argument allows to tune
544behaviour and output format. In case of an error, C<$entries> will be
545C<undef>.
546
547The flags are a combination of the following constants, ORed together (the
548flags will also be passed to the callback, possibly modified):
549

551
552=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DENTS
553
554When this flag is off, then the callback gets an arrayref with of names
555only (as with C<aio_readdir>), otherwise it gets an arrayref with
556C<[$name, $type, $inode]> arrayrefs, each describing a single directory
557entry in more detail.
558
559C<$name> is the name of the entry.
560
561C<$type> is one of the C<IO::AIO::DT_xxx> constants:
562
563C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN>, C<IO::AIO::DT_FIFO>, C<IO::AIO::DT_CHR>, C<IO::AIO::DT_DIR>,
564C<IO::AIO::DT_BLK>, C<IO::AIO::DT_REG>, C<IO::AIO::DT_LNK>, C<IO::AIO::DT_SOCK>,
565C<IO::AIO::DT_WHT>.
566
567C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to
568know, you have to run stat yourself. Also, for speed reasons, the C<$type>
569scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
570
571C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64
572bit inode numbers and 32 bit perls). This field has unspecified content on
573systems that do not deliver the inode information.
574
575=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST
576
577When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order where
578likely directories come first. This is useful when you need to quickly
579find directories, or you want to find all directories while avoiding to
580stat() each entry.
581
582If the system returns type information in readdir, then this is used
583to find directories directly. Otherwise, likely directories are files
584beginning with ".", or otherwise files with no dots, of which files with
585short names are tried first.
586
587=item IO::AIO::READDIR_STAT_ORDER
588
589When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
590suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()
591all files in the given directory, then the returned order will likely
592be fastest.
593
594If both this flag and C<IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST> are specified, then
595the likely dirs come first, resulting in a less optimal stat order.
596
597=item IO::AIO::READDIR_FOUND_UNKNOWN
598
599This flag should not be set when calling C<aio_readdirx>. Instead, it
600is being set by C<aio_readdirx>, when any of the C<$type>'s found were
601C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN>. The absense of this flag therefore indicates that all
602C<$type>'s are known, which can be used to speed up some algorithms.

1411Calls the C<eio_sendfile_sync> function, which is like C<aio_sendfile>,
1412but is blocking (this makes most sense if you know the input data is
1413likely cached already and the output filehandle is set to non-blocking
1414operations).

1420Simply calls the C<posix_fadvise> function (see it's
1421manpage for details). The following advice constants are
1422avaiable: C<IO::AIO::FADV_NORMAL>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_SEQUENTIAL>,

1424C<IO::AIO::FADV_WILLNEED>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_DONTNEED>.
1425
1426On systems that do not implement C<posix_fadvise>, this function returns
1427ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<posix_fadvise>.
