 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.

 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
 =item aio_copy $srcpath, $dstpath, $callback->($status)

 destination) from C<$srcpath> to C<$dstpath> and call the callback with

+a status of C<0> (ok) or C<-1> (error, see C<$!>).
 This is a composite request that creates the destination file with
 mode 0200 and copies the contents of the source file into it using
 C<aio_sendfile>, followed by restoring atime, mtime, access mode and
 uid/gid, in that order.

 This is a composite request that tries to rename(2) the file first; if
 rename fails with C<EXDEV>, it copies the file with C<aio_copy> and, if
 that is successful, unlinks the C<$srcpath>.
 (E.g. rename). This might not work on all operating systems or have any
 specific effect, but usually it makes sure that directory changes get
 written to disc. It works for anything that can be opened for read-only,
 not just directories.
+Future versions of this function might fall back to other methods when
+C<fsync> on the directory fails (such as calling C<sync>).
 Passes C<0> when everything went ok, and C<-1> on error.

 sub aio_pathsync($;$) {
 =item $grp->cancel_subs
 Cancel all subrequests and clears any feeder, but not the group request
 itself. Useful when you queued a lot of events but got a result early.
+The group request will finish normally (you cannot add requests to the
+group).
 =item $grp->result (...)
 Set the result value(s) that will be passed to the group callback when all
 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,
 =item IO::AIO::npending
 Returns the number of requests currently in the pending state (executed,
 but not yet processed by poll_cb).

+=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

+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>.
