373In addition to all the common open modes/flags (C<O_RDONLY>, C<O_WRONLY>,
374C<O_RDWR>, C<O_CREAT>, C<O_TRUNC>, C<O_EXCL> and C<O_APPEND>), the
375following POSIX and non-POSIX constants are available (missing ones on

443Please note that C<aio_sendfile> can read more bytes from C<$in_fh> than
444are written, and there is no way to find out how many bytes have been read
445from C<aio_sendfile> alone, as C<aio_sendfile> only provides the number of
446bytes written to C<$out_fh>. Only if the result value equals C<$length>
447one can assume that C<$length> bytes have been read.
448
449Unlike with other C<aio_> functions, it makes a lot of sense to use
450C<aio_sendfile> on non-blocking sockets, as long as one end (typically
451the C<$in_fh>) is a file - the file I/O will then be asynchronous, while
452the socket I/O will be non-blocking. Note, however, that you can run into
453a trap where C<aio_sendfile> reads some data with readahead, then fails
454to write all data, and when the socket is ready the next time, the data
455in the cache is already lost, forcing C<aio_sendfile> to again hit the
456disk. Explicit C<aio_read> + C<aio_write> let's you control resource usage
457much better.

391bytes have been read from C<aio_sendfile> alone, as C<aio_sendfile> only
392provides the number of bytes written to C<$out_fh>. Only if the result

499To help interpret the mode and dev/rdev stat values, IO::AIO offers the
500following constants and functions (if not implemented, the constants will
501be C<0> and the functions will either C<croak> or fall back on traditional
502behaviour).

518Works like the POSIX C<statvfs> or C<fstatvfs> syscalls, depending on
519whether a file handle or path was passed.
520
521On success, the callback is passed a hash reference with the following
522members: C<bsize>, C<frsize>, C<blocks>, C<bfree>, C<bavail>, C<files>,
523C<ffree>, C<favail>, C<fsid>, C<flag> and C<namemax>. On failure, C<undef>
524is passed.
525
526The following POSIX IO::AIO::ST_* constants are defined: C<ST_RDONLY> and
527C<ST_NOSUID>.
528
529The following non-POSIX IO::AIO::ST_* flag masks are defined to
530their correct value when available, or to C<0> on systems that do
531not support them: C<ST_NODEV>, C<ST_NOEXEC>, C<ST_SYNCHRONOUS>,
532C<ST_MANDLOCK>, C<ST_WRITE>, C<ST_APPEND>, C<ST_IMMUTABLE>, C<ST_NOATIME>,

1122=item aio_msync $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef, flags = 0, $callback->($status)
1123
1124This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which only works on mmap(2)ed
1125scalars (see the C<IO::AIO::mmap> function, although it also works on data
1126scalars managed by the L<Sys::Mmap> or L<Mmap> modules, note that the
1127scalar must only be modified in-place while an aio operation is pending on
1128it).
1129
1130It calls the C<msync> function of your OS, if available, with the memory
1131area starting at C<$offset> in the string and ending C<$length> bytes
1132later. If C<$length> is negative, counts from the end, and if C<$length>
1133is C<undef>, then it goes till the end of the string. The flags can be
1134a combination of C<IO::AIO::MS_ASYNC>, C<IO::AIO::MS_INVALIDATE> and
1135C<IO::AIO::MS_SYNC>.
1136
1137=item aio_mtouch $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef, flags = 0, $callback->($status)
1138
1139This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which works best on mmap(2)ed
1140scalars.
1141
1142It touches (reads or writes) all memory pages in the specified
1143range inside the scalar. All caveats and parameters are the same
1144as for C<aio_msync>, above, except for flags, which must be either
1145C<0> (which reads all pages and ensures they are instantiated) or
1146C<IO::AIO::MT_MODIFY>, which modifies the memory page s(by reading and
1147writing an octet from it, which dirties the page).
1148
1149=item aio_mlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef, $callback->($status)
1150
1151This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which works best on mmap(2)ed
1152scalars.
1153
1154It reads in all the pages of the underlying storage into memory (if any)
1155and locks them, so they are not getting swapped/paged out or removed.
1156
1157If C<$length> is undefined, then the scalar will be locked till the end.
1158
1159On systems that do not implement C<mlock>, this function returns C<-1>
1160and sets errno to C<ENOSYS>.

1431Apart from calling C<IO::AIO::poll_cb> when the event filehandle becomes
1432ready, it can be beneficial to call this function from loops which submit
1433a lot of requests, to make sure the results get processed when they become
1434available and not just when the loop is finished and the event loop takes
1435over again. This function returns very fast when there are no outstanding
1436requests.

1619
1620=item IO::AIO::sendfile $ofh, $ifh, $offset, $count
1621
1622Calls the C<eio_sendfile_sync> function, which is like C<aio_sendfile>,
1623but is blocking (this makes most sense if you know the input data is
1624likely cached already and the output filehandle is set to non-blocking
1625operations).
1626
1627Returns the number of bytes copied, or C<-1> on error.
1628
1629=item IO::AIO::fadvise $fh, $offset, $len, $advice
1630
1631Simply calls the C<posix_fadvise> function (see its
1632manpage for details). The following advice constants are
1633avaiable: C<IO::AIO::FADV_NORMAL>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_SEQUENTIAL>,
1634C<IO::AIO::FADV_RANDOM>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_NOREUSE>,
1635C<IO::AIO::FADV_WILLNEED>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_DONTNEED>.
1636
1637On systems that do not implement C<posix_fadvise>, this function returns
1638ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<posix_fadvise>.
1639
1640=item IO::AIO::madvise $scalar, $offset, $len, $advice
1641
1642Simply calls the C<posix_madvise> function (see its
1643manpage for details). The following advice constants are
1644avaiable: C<IO::AIO::MADV_NORMAL>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_SEQUENTIAL>,
1645C<IO::AIO::MADV_RANDOM>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_WILLNEED>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_DONTNEED>.
1646
1647On systems that do not implement C<posix_madvise>, this function returns
1648ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<posix_madvise>.
1649
1650=item IO::AIO::mprotect $scalar, $offset, $len, $protect
1651
1652Simply calls the C<mprotect> function on the preferably AIO::mmap'ed
1653$scalar (see its manpage for details). The following protect
1654constants are avaiable: C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ>,
1655C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>.
1656
1657On systems that do not implement C<mprotect>, this function returns
1658ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<mprotect>.
1659
1660=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
1661
1662Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
1663given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar.
1664
1665The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
1666change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
1667or searching it with regexes and so on.
1668
1669Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
1670
1671The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
1672when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
1673C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
1674
1675This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
1676page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
1677
1678The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
1679filesize.
1680
1681C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
1682C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
1683
1684C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or
1685C<IO::AIO::MAP_PRIVATE>, or a number of system-specific flags (when
1686not available, the are defined as 0): C<IO::AIO::MAP_ANONYMOUS>
1687(which is set to C<MAP_ANON> if your system only provides this
1688constant), C<IO::AIO::MAP_HUGETLB>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_LOCKED>,
1689C<IO::AIO::MAP_NORESERVE>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_POPULATE> or
1690C<IO::AIO::MAP_NONBLOCK>
1691
1692If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
1693
1694C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
1695a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
1696
1697Example:
1698
1699 use Digest::MD5;
1700 use IO::AIO;
1701
1702 open my $fh, "<verybigfile"

1713
1714=item IO::AIO::munlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef
1715
1716Calls the C<munlock> function, undoing the effects of a previous
1717C<aio_mlock> call (see its description for details).
1718
1719=item IO::AIO::munlockall
1720
1721Calls the C<munlockall> function.

1737
1738It is recommended to use L<AnyEvent::AIO> to integrate IO::AIO
1739automatically into many event loops:

1741 # AnyEvent integration (EV, Event, Glib, Tk, POE, urxvt, pureperl...)
1742 use AnyEvent::AIO;

1744You can also integrate IO::AIO manually into many event loops, here are
1745some examples of how to do this:
1746
1747 # EV integration
1748 my $aio_w = EV::io IO::AIO::poll_fileno, EV::READ, \&IO::AIO::poll_cb;
1749
1750 # Event integration
1751 Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
1752 poll => 'r',
1753 cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
1754
1755 # Glib/Gtk2 integration
1756 add_watch Glib::IO IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
1757 in => sub { IO::AIO::poll_cb; 1 };
1758
1759 # Tk integration
1760 Tk::Event::IO->fileevent (IO::AIO::poll_fileno, "",
1761 readable => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
1762
1763 # Danga::Socket integration
1764 Danga::Socket->AddOtherFds (IO::AIO::poll_fileno =>
1765 \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
