542=item aio_readdirx $pathname, $flags, $callback->($entries, $flags)
543
544Quite similar to C<aio_readdir>, but the C<$flags> argument allows to tune
545behaviour and output format. In case of an error, C<$entries> will be
546C<undef>.
547
548The flags are a combination of the following constants, ORed together (the
549flags will also be passed to the callback, possibly modified):
550
551=over 4
552
553=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DENTS
554
555When this flag is off, then the callback gets an arrayref with of names
556only (as with C<aio_readdir>), otherwise it gets an arrayref with
557C<[$name, $type, $inode]> arrayrefs, each describing a single directory
558entry in more detail.
559
560C<$name> is the name of the entry.
561
562C<$type> is one of the C<IO::AIO::DT_xxx> constants:
563
564C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN>, C<IO::AIO::DT_FIFO>, C<IO::AIO::DT_CHR>, C<IO::AIO::DT_DIR>,
565C<IO::AIO::DT_BLK>, C<IO::AIO::DT_REG>, C<IO::AIO::DT_LNK>, C<IO::AIO::DT_SOCK>,
566C<IO::AIO::DT_WHT>.
567
568C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to
569know, you have to run stat yourself. Also, for speed reasons, the C<$type>
570scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
571
572C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64
573bit inode numbers and 32 bit perls). On systems that do not deliver the
574inode information, this will always be zero.
575
576=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST
577
578When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order where
579likely directories come first. This is useful when you need to quickly
580find directories, or you want to find all directories while avoiding to
581stat() each entry.
582
583If the system returns type information in readdir, then this is used
584to find directories directly. Otherwise, likely directories are files
585beginning with ".", or otherwise files with no dots, of which files with
586short names are tried first.
587
588=item IO::AIO::READDIR_STAT_ORDER
589
590When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
591suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()
592all files in the given directory, then the returned order will likely
593be fastest.
594
595If both this flag and C<IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST> are specified, then
596the likely dirs come first, resulting in a less optimal stat order.
597
598=item IO::AIO::READDIR_FOUND_UNKNOWN
599
600This flag should not be set when calling C<aio_readdirx>. Instead, it
601is being set by C<aio_readdirx>, when any of the C<$type>'s found were
602C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN>. The absense of this flag therefore indicates that all
603C<$type>'s are known, which can be used to speed up some algorithms.
