327closing the file descriptor associated with the filehandle itself. Here is 326closing the file descriptor associated with the filehandle itself.
328what aio_close will try:
329 327
330 1. dup()licate the fd 328Therefore, C<aio_close> will not close the filehandle - instead it will
331 2. asynchronously close() the duplicated fd 329use dup2 to overwrite the file descriptor with the write-end of a pipe
332 3. dup()licate the fd once more 330(the pipe fd will be created on demand and will be cached).
333 4. let perl close() the filehandle
334 5. asynchronously close the duplicated fd
335 331
336The idea is that the first close() flushes stuff to disk that closing an 332Or in other words: the file descriptor will be closed, but it will not be
337fd will flush, so when perl closes the fd, nothing much will need to be 333free for reuse until the perl filehandle is closed.
338flushed. The second async. close() will then flush stuff to disk that
339closing the last fd to the file will flush.
340
341Just FYI, SuSv3 has this to say on close:
342
343 All outstanding record locks owned by the process on the file
344 associated with the file descriptor shall be removed.
345
346 If fildes refers to a socket, close() shall cause the socket to be
347 destroyed. ... close() shall block for up to the current linger
348 interval until all data is transmitted.
349 [this actually sounds like a specification bug, but who knows]
350
351And at least Linux additionally actually flushes stuff on every close,
352even when the file itself is still open.
353
354Sounds enourmously inefficient and complicated? Yes... please show me how
355to nuke perl's fd out of existence...
