 normally done sequentially, e.g. stat'ing many files, which is much faster
 on a RAID volume or over NFS when you do a number of stat operations
 concurrently.

 In this version, a number of threads are started that execute your
 requests and signal their completion. You don't need thread support
 in perl, and the threads created by this module will not be visible
 to perl. In the future, this module might make use of the native aio
 not well-supported or restricted (GNU/Linux doesn't allow them on normal
 files currently, for example), and they would only support aio_read and
 aio_write, so the remaining functionality would have to be implemented
 using threads anyway.

 =head2 EXAMPLE
 This is a simple example that uses the Event module and loads
 F</etc/passwd> asynchronously:
               poll => 'r',
               cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
    # queue the request to open /etc/passwd
    aio_open "/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY, 0, sub {
-      my $fh = $_[0]
+      my $fh = shift
          or die "error while opening: $!";
       # stat'ing filehandles is generally non-blocking
       my $size = -s $fh;
 Request has reached the end of its lifetime and holds no resources anymore
 (except possibly for the Perl object, but its connection to the actual
 aio request is severed and calling its methods will either do nothing or
 result in a runtime error).

 Example: Read 15 bytes at offset 7 into scalar C<$buffer>, starting at
 offset C<0> within the scalar:
    aio_read $fh, 7, 15, $buffer, 0, sub {
       $_[0] > 0 or die "read error: $!";
       print "read $_[0] bytes: <$buffer>\n";
    };
 =item aio_sendfile $out_fh, $in_fh, $in_offset, $length, $callback->($retval)
 Tries to copy C<$length> bytes from C<$in_fh> to C<$out_fh>. It starts
 reading at byte offset C<$in_offset>, and starts writing at the current
 C<$in_fh> than are written, and there is no way to find out how many
 bytes have been read from C<aio_sendfile> alone, as C<aio_sendfile> only
 provides the number of bytes written to C<$out_fh>. Only if the result
 value equals C<$length> one can assume that C<$length> bytes have been
 read.
 =item aio_readahead $fh,$offset,$length, $callback->($retval)
 C<aio_readahead> populates the page cache with data from a file so that
 subsequent reads from that file will not block on disk I/O. The C<$offset>
 file. The current file offset of the file is left unchanged.
 If that syscall doesn't exist (likely if your OS isn't Linux) it will be
 emulated by simply reading the data, which would have a similar effect.
 =item aio_stat  $fh_or_path, $callback->($status)
 =item aio_lstat $fh, $callback->($status)
 Works like perl's C<stat> or C<lstat> in void context. The callback will
    aio_stat "/etc/passwd", sub {
       $_[0] and die "stat failed: $!";
       print "size is ", -s _, "\n";
    };
+=item aio_utime $fh_or_path, $atime, $mtime, $callback->($status)
+Works like perl's C<utime> function (including the special case of $atime
+and $mtime being undef). Fractional times are supported if the underlying
+syscalls support them.
+When called with a pathname, uses utimes(2) if available, otherwise
+utime(2). If called on a file descriptor, uses futimes(2) if available,
+otherwise returns ENOSYS, so this is not portable.
+Examples:
+   # set atime and mtime to current time (basically touch(1)):
+   aio_utime "path", undef, undef;
+   # set atime to current time and mtime to beginning of the epoch:
+   aio_utime "path", time, undef; # undef==0
+=item aio_chown $fh_or_path, $uid, $gid, $callback->($status)
+Works like perl's C<chown> function, except that C<undef> for either $uid
+or $gid is being interpreted as "do not change" (but -1 can also be used).
+Examples:
+   # same as "chown root path" in the shell:
+   aio_chown "path", 0, -1;
+   # same as above:
+   aio_chown "path", 0, undef;
+=item aio_truncate $fh_or_path, $offset, $callback->($status)
+Works like truncate(2) or ftruncate(2).
+=item aio_chmod $fh_or_path, $mode, $callback->($status)
+Works like perl's C<chmod> function.
 =item aio_unlink $pathname, $callback->($status)
 Asynchronously unlink (delete) a file and call the callback with the
 result code.
 =item aio_mknod $path, $mode, $dev, $callback->($status)
 [EXPERIMENTAL]
 Asynchronously create a device node (or fifo). See mknod(2).
 The only (POSIX-) portable way of calling this function is:
    aio_mknod $path, IO::AIO::S_IFIFO | $mode, 0, sub { ...
 =item aio_link $srcpath, $dstpath, $callback->($status)
 Asynchronously create a new link to the existing object at C<$srcpath> at
 the path C<$dstpath> and call the callback with the result code.
 =item aio_symlink $srcpath, $dstpath, $callback->($status)
 Asynchronously create a new symbolic link to the existing object at C<$srcpath> at
 the path C<$dstpath> and call the callback with the result code.
+=item aio_readlink $path, $callback->($link)
+Asynchronously read the symlink specified by C<$path> and pass it to
+the callback. If an error occurs, nothing or undef gets passed to the
+callback.
 =item aio_rename $srcpath, $dstpath, $callback->($status)
 Asynchronously rename the object at C<$srcpath> to C<$dstpath>, just as
 rename(2) and call the callback with the result code.
+=item aio_mkdir $pathname, $mode, $callback->($status)
+Asynchronously mkdir (create) a directory and call the callback with
+the result code. C<$mode> will be modified by the umask at the time the
+request is executed, so do not change your umask.
 =item aio_rmdir $pathname, $callback->($status)
 Asynchronously rmdir (delete) a directory and call the callback with the
 result code.
 =item aio_readdir $pathname, $callback->($entries)
 Unlike the POSIX call of the same name, C<aio_readdir> reads an entire
 directory (i.e. opendir + readdir + closedir). The entries will not be
 sorted, and will B<NOT> include the C<.> and C<..> entries.

 =item aio_group $callback->(...)
 This is a very special aio request: Instead of doing something, it is a
 container for other aio requests, which is useful if you want to bundle
 itself. Useful when you queued a lot of events but got a result early.
 =item $grp->result (...)
 Set the result value(s) that will be passed to the group callback when all
-subrequests have finished and set thre groups errno to the current value
+subrequests have finished and set the groups errno to the current value
 of errno (just like calling C<errno> without an error number). By default,

 the maximum amount of time (default C<0>, meaning infinity) spent in
 C<IO::AIO::poll_cb> to process requests (more correctly the mininum amount
 of time C<poll_cb> is allowed to use).
+Setting C<max_poll_time> to a non-zero value creates an overhead of one
+syscall per request processed, which is not normally a problem unless your
+callbacks are really really fast or your OS is really really slow (I am
+not mentioning Solaris here). Using C<max_poll_reqs> incurs no overhead.
 Setting these is useful if you want to ensure some level of
 interactiveness when perl is not fast enough to process all requests in
 time.
 For interactive programs, values such as C<0.01> to C<0.1> should be fine.
 Example: Install an Event watcher that automatically calls
-IO::AIO::poll_some with low priority, to ensure that other parts of the
+IO::AIO::poll_cb with low priority, to ensure that other parts of the
 program get the CPU sometimes even under high AIO load.

 Set the minimum number of AIO threads to C<$nthreads>. The current

 This is a very bad function to use in interactive programs because it
 blocks, and a bad way to reduce concurrency because it is inexact: Better
 use an C<aio_group> together with a feed callback.

 C<poll_cb> (and C<poll_some> and other functions calling C<poll_cb>)

 The default value is very large, so there is no practical limit on the
 number of outstanding requests.
 You can still queue as many requests as you want. Therefore,
 C<max_oustsanding> is mainly useful in simple scripts (with low values) or
 as a stop gap to shield against fatal memory overflow (with large values).
