 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 This module implements asynchronous I/O using whatever means your
-operating system supports.
+operating system supports. It is implemented as an interface to C<libeio>
+(L<http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libeio.html>).
 Asynchronous means that operations that can normally block your program
 (e.g. reading from disk) will be done asynchronously: the operation
 will still block, but you can do something else in the meantime. This
 is extremely useful for programs that need to stay interactive even
 on a RAID volume or over NFS when you do a number of stat operations
 concurrently.
 While most of this works on all types of file descriptors (for
 example sockets), using these functions on file descriptors that
-support nonblocking operation (again, sockets, pipes etc.) is very
+support nonblocking operation (again, sockets, pipes etc.) is
-inefficient. Use an event loop for that (such as the L<Event|Event>
+very inefficient. Use an event loop for that (such as the L<EV>
 module): IO::AIO will naturally fit into such an event loop itself.
 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
 yourself, always call C<poll_cb> from within the same thread, or never
 call C<poll_cb> (or other C<aio_> functions) recursively.

 =head2 AIO REQUEST FUNCTIONS
 All the C<aio_*> calls are more or less thin wrappers around the syscall
 with the same name (sans C<aio_>). The arguments are similar or identical,
 This call tries to make use of a native C<sendfile> syscall to provide
 zero-copy operation. For this to work, C<$out_fh> should refer to a
 socket, and C<$in_fh> should refer to mmap'able file.
-If the native sendfile call fails or is not implemented, it will be

+filehandle regardless of the limitations of the operating system.
 Please note, however, that C<aio_sendfile> can read more bytes from
 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
       $_[0] and die "stat failed: $!";
       print "size is ", -s _, "\n";
    };
+=item aio_statvfs $fh_or_path, $callback->($statvfs)
+Works like the POSIX C<statvfs> or C<fstatvfs> syscalls, depending on
+whether a file handle or path was passed.
+On success, the callback is passed a hash reference with the following
+members: C<bsize>, C<frsize>, C<blocks>, C<bfree>, C<bavail>, C<files>,
+C<ffree>, C<favail>, C<fsid>, C<flag> and C<namemax>. On failure, C<undef>
+is passed.
+The following POSIX IO::AIO::ST_* constants are defined: C<ST_RDONLY> and
+C<ST_NOSUID>.
+The following non-POSIX IO::AIO::ST_* flag masks are defined to
+their correct value when available, or to C<0> on systems that do
+not support them:  C<ST_NODEV>, C<ST_NOEXEC>, C<ST_SYNCHRONOUS>,
+C<ST_MANDLOCK>, C<ST_WRITE>, C<ST_APPEND>, C<ST_IMMUTABLE>, C<ST_NOATIME>,
+C<ST_NODIRATIME> and C<ST_RELATIME>.
+Example: stat C</wd> and dump out the data if successful.

+      my $f = $_[0]
+         or die "statvfs: $!";

 =item aio_utime $fh_or_path, $atime, $mtime, $callback->($status)
 Works like perl's C<utime> function (including the special case of $atime
 and $mtime being undef). Fractional times are supported if the underlying
 syscalls support them.
 The flags are a combination of the following constants, ORed together (the
 flags will also be passed to the callback, possibly modified):
 =over 4
-=item AIO::READDIR_DENTS
+=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DENTS
 When this flag is off, then the callback gets an arrayref with of names
 only (as with C<aio_readdir>), otherwise it gets an arrayref with
-C<[$name, $inode, $type]> arrayrefs, each describing a single directory
+C<[$name, $type, $inode]> arrayrefs, each describing a single directory
 entry in more detail.
 C<$name> is the name of the entry.
-C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64
-bit inode numbers and 32 bit perls). On systems that do not deliver the
-inode information, this will always be zero.
-C<$type> is one of the C<AIO::DT_xxx> constants:
+C<$type> is one of the C<IO::AIO::DT_xxx> constants:

+C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to
 know, you have to run stat yourself. Also, for speed reasons, the C<$type>
 scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
+C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64
+bit inode numbers and 32 bit perls). This field has unspecified content on
+systems that do not deliver the inode information.
-=item AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST
+=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST
 When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order where
 likely directories come first. This is useful when you need to quickly
 find directories, or you want to find all directories while avoiding to
 stat() each entry.
 If the system returns type information in readdir, then this is used
 to find directories directly.  Otherwise, likely directories are files
 beginning with ".", or otherwise files with no dots, of which files with
 short names are tried first.
-=item AIO::READDIR_STAT_ORDER
+=item IO::AIO::READDIR_STAT_ORDER
 When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
 suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()
 all files in the given directory, then the returned order will likely
 be fastest.

 This flag should not be set when calling C<aio_readdirx>. Instead, it
 is being set by C<aio_readdirx>, when any of the C<$type>'s found were
-C<AIO::DT_UNKNOWN>. The absense of this flag therefore indicates that all

 container for other aio requests, which is useful if you want to bundle
 many requests into a single, composite, request with a definite callback
 =item cancel $req
 Cancels the request, if possible. Has the effect of skipping execution
 when entering the B<execute> state and skipping calling the callback when
 entering the the B<result> state, but will leave the request otherwise
-untouched. That means that requests that currently execute will not be
+untouched (with the exception of readdir). That means that requests that

-phase, wait till the result filehandle becomes ready for reading (simply
-does a C<select> on the filehandle. This is useful if you want to
-synchronously wait for some requests to finish).
-See C<nreqs> for an example.
-=item IO::AIO::poll
-Waits until some requests have been handled.
-Returns the number of requests processed, but is otherwise strictly
-equivalent to:
-   IO::AIO::poll_wait, IO::AIO::poll_cb
-=item IO::AIO::flush
-Wait till all outstanding AIO requests have been handled.
-Strictly equivalent to:
-   IO::AIO::poll_wait, IO::AIO::poll_cb
-      while IO::AIO::nreqs;

+=head3 MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS
+IO::AIO implements some functions that might be useful, but are not
+asynchronous.
+=over 4
+=item IO::AIO::sendfile $ofh, $ifh, $offset, $count
+Calls the C<eio_sendfile_sync> function, which is like C<aio_sendfile>,
+but is blocking (this makes most sense if you know the input data is
+likely cached already and the output filehandle is set to non-blocking
+operations).
+Returns the number of bytes copied, or C<-1> on error.
+=item IO::AIO::fadvise $fh, $offset, $len, $advice
+Simply calls the C<posix_fadvise> function (see it's
+manpage for details). The following advice constants are
+avaiable: C<IO::AIO::FADV_NORMAL>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_SEQUENTIAL>,
+C<IO::AIO::FADV_RANDOM>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_NOREUSE>,
+C<IO::AIO::FADV_WILLNEED>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_DONTNEED>.
+On systems that do not implement C<posix_fadvise>, this function returns
+ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<posix_fadvise>.
+=item IO::AIO::mlockall $flags
+Calls the C<mlockall> function with the given C<$flags> (a combination of
+C<IO::AIO::MCL_CURRENT> and C<IO::AIO::MCL__FUTURE>).
+On systems that do not implement C<mlockall>, this function returns
+ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<mlockall>.
+=item IO::AIO::munlockall
+Calls the C<munlockall> function.
+On systems that do not implement C<munlockall>, this function returns
+ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<munlockall>.

+=head1 EVENT LOOP INTEGRATION
+It is recommended to use L<AnyEvent::AIO> to integrate IO::AIO
+automatically into many event loops:
+ # AnyEvent integration (EV, Event, Glib, Tk, POE, urxvt, pureperl...)
+ use AnyEvent::AIO;
+You can also integrate IO::AIO manually into many event loops, here are
+some examples of how to do this:
+ # EV integration
+ my $aio_w = EV::io IO::AIO::poll_fileno, EV::READ, \&IO::AIO::poll_cb;
+ # Event integration
+ Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
+            poll => 'r',
+            cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
+ # Glib/Gtk2 integration
+ add_watch Glib::IO IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
+           in => sub { IO::AIO::poll_cb; 1 };
+ # Tk integration
+ Tk::Event::IO->fileevent (IO::AIO::poll_fileno, "",
+                           readable => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
+ # Danga::Socket integration
+ Danga::Socket->AddOtherFds (IO::AIO::poll_fileno =>
+                             \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
