490Works like the POSIX C<statvfs> or C<fstatvfs> syscalls, depending on
491whether a file handle or path was passed.
492
493On success, the callback is passed a hash reference with the following
494members: C<bsize>, C<frsize>, C<blocks>, C<bfree>, C<bavail>, C<files>,
495C<ffree>, C<favail>, C<fsid>, C<flag> and C<namemax>. On failure, C<undef>
496is passed.

501The following non-POSIX IO::AIO::ST_* flag masks are defined to
502their correct value when available, or to C<0> on systems that do

504C<ST_MANDLOCK>, C<ST_WRITE>, C<ST_APPEND>, C<ST_IMMUTABLE>, C<ST_NOATIME>,

1092=item aio_msync $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef, flags = 0, $callback->($status)
1093
1094This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which only works on mmap(2)ed
1095scalars (see the C<IO::AIO::mmap> function, although it also works on data
1096scalars managed by the L<Sys::Mmap> or L<Mmap> modules, note that the
1097scalar must only be modified in-place while an aio operation is pending on
1098it).
1099
1100It calls the C<msync> function of your OS, if available, with the memory
1101area starting at C<$offset> in the string and ending C<$length> bytes
1102later. If C<$length> is negative, counts from the end, and if C<$length>
1103is C<undef>, then it goes till the end of the string. The flags can be
1104a combination of C<IO::AIO::MS_ASYNC>, C<IO::AIO::MS_INVALIDATE> and
1105C<IO::AIO::MS_SYNC>.
1106
1107=item aio_mtouch $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef, flags = 0, $callback->($status)
1108
1109This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which works best on mmap(2)ed
1110scalars.
1111
1112It touches (reads or writes) all memory pages in the specified
1113range inside the scalar. All caveats and parameters are the same
1114as for C<aio_msync>, above, except for flags, which must be either
1115C<0> (which reads all pages and ensures they are instantiated) or
1116C<IO::AIO::MT_MODIFY>, which modifies the memory page s(by reading and
1117writing an octet from it, which dirties the page).
1118
1119=item aio_mlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef, $callback->($status)
1120
1121This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which works best on mmap(2)ed
1122scalars.
1123
1124It reads in all the pages of the underlying storage into memory (if any)
1125and locks them, so they are not getting swapped/paged out or removed.
1126
1127If C<$length> is undefined, then the scalar will be locked till the end.
1128
1129On systems that do not implement C<mlock>, this function returns C<-1>
1130and sets errno to C<ENOSYS>.
1131
1132Note that the corresponding C<munlock> is synchronous and is
1133documented under L<MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS>.
1134
1135Example: open a file, mmap and mlock it - both will be undone when
1136C<$data> gets destroyed.
1137
1138 open my $fh, "<", $path or die "$path: $!";
1139 my $data;
1140 IO::AIO::mmap $data, -s $fh, IO::AIO::PROT_READ, IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED, $fh;
1141 aio_mlock $data; # mlock in background
1142
1143=item aio_mlockall $flags, $callback->($status)
1144
1145Calls the C<mlockall> function with the given C<$flags> (a combination of
1146C<IO::AIO::MCL_CURRENT> and C<IO::AIO::MCL_FUTURE>).
1147
1148On systems that do not implement C<mlockall>, this function returns C<-1>
1149and sets errno to C<ENOSYS>.
1150
1151Note that the corresponding C<munlockall> is synchronous and is

1570
1571IO::AIO implements some functions that might be useful, but are not
1572asynchronous.
1573
1574=over 4
1575
1576=item IO::AIO::sendfile $ofh, $ifh, $offset, $count
1577
1578Calls the C<eio_sendfile_sync> function, which is like C<aio_sendfile>,
1579but is blocking (this makes most sense if you know the input data is
1580likely cached already and the output filehandle is set to non-blocking
1581operations).
1582
1583Returns the number of bytes copied, or C<-1> on error.
1584
1585=item IO::AIO::fadvise $fh, $offset, $len, $advice
1586
1587Simply calls the C<posix_fadvise> function (see its
1588manpage for details). The following advice constants are
1589avaiable: C<IO::AIO::FADV_NORMAL>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_SEQUENTIAL>,
1590C<IO::AIO::FADV_RANDOM>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_NOREUSE>,
1591C<IO::AIO::FADV_WILLNEED>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_DONTNEED>.
1592
1593On systems that do not implement C<posix_fadvise>, this function returns
1594ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<posix_fadvise>.
1595
1596=item IO::AIO::madvise $scalar, $offset, $len, $advice
1597
1598Simply calls the C<posix_madvise> function (see its
1599manpage for details). The following advice constants are
1600avaiable: C<IO::AIO::MADV_NORMAL>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_SEQUENTIAL>,
1601C<IO::AIO::MADV_RANDOM>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_WILLNEED>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_DONTNEED>.
1602
1603On systems that do not implement C<posix_madvise>, this function returns
1604ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<posix_madvise>.
1605
1606=item IO::AIO::mprotect $scalar, $offset, $len, $protect
1607
1608Simply calls the C<mprotect> function on the preferably AIO::mmap'ed
1609$scalar (see its manpage for details). The following protect
1610constants are avaiable: C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ>,
1611C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>.
1612
1613On systems that do not implement C<mprotect>, this function returns
1614ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<mprotect>.
1615
1616=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
1617
1618Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
1619given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar.
1620
1621The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
1622change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
1623or searching it with regexes and so on.
1624
1625Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
1626
1627The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
1628when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
1629C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
1630
1631This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
1632page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
1633
1634The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
1635filesize.
1636
1637C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
1638C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
1639
1640C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or
1641C<IO::AIO::MAP_PRIVATE>, or a number of system-specific flags (when
1642not available, the are defined as 0): C<IO::AIO::MAP_ANONYMOUS>
1643(which is set to C<MAP_ANON> if your system only provides this
1644constant), C<IO::AIO::MAP_HUGETLB>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_LOCKED>,
1645C<IO::AIO::MAP_NORESERVE>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_POPULATE> or
1646C<IO::AIO::MAP_NONBLOCK>
1647
1648If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
1649
1650C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
1651a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
1652
1653Example:
1654
1655 use Digest::MD5;
1656 use IO::AIO;
1657
1658 open my $fh, "<verybigfile"
1659 or die "$!";
1660
1661 IO::AIO::mmap my $data, -s $fh, IO::AIO::PROT_READ, IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED, $fh
1662 or die "verybigfile: $!";
1663
1664 my $fast_md5 = md5 $data;
1665
1666=item IO::AIO::munmap $scalar
1667
1668Removes a previous mmap and undefines the C<$scalar>.
1669
1670=item IO::AIO::munlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef
1671
1672Calls the C<munlock> function, undoing the effects of a previous
1673C<aio_mlock> call (see its description for details).
1674
1675=item IO::AIO::munlockall
1676
1677Calls the C<munlockall> function.
1678
1679On systems that do not implement C<munlockall>, this function returns
1680ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<munlockall>.

1692=head1 EVENT LOOP INTEGRATION
1693
1694It is recommended to use L<AnyEvent::AIO> to integrate IO::AIO
1695automatically into many event loops:
1696
1697 # AnyEvent integration (EV, Event, Glib, Tk, POE, urxvt, pureperl...)
1698 use AnyEvent::AIO;
1699
1700You can also integrate IO::AIO manually into many event loops, here are
1701some examples of how to do this:
1702
1703 # EV integration
1704 my $aio_w = EV::io IO::AIO::poll_fileno, EV::READ, \&IO::AIO::poll_cb;
1705
1706 # Event integration
1707 Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
1708 poll => 'r',
1709 cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
1710
1711 # Glib/Gtk2 integration
1712 add_watch Glib::IO IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
1713 in => sub { IO::AIO::poll_cb; 1 };
1714
1715 # Tk integration
1716 Tk::Event::IO->fileevent (IO::AIO::poll_fileno, "",
1717 readable => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
1718
1719 # Danga::Socket integration
1720 Danga::Socket->AddOtherFds (IO::AIO::poll_fileno =>
1721 \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
