		447	Please note that C<aio_sendfile> can read more bytes from C<$in_fh> than

		458	fails to write all data, and when the socket is ready the next time, the
		459	data in the cache is already lost, forcing C<aio_sendfile> to again hit

		1660	IO::AIO implements some functions that might be useful, but are not
		1661	asynchronous.
		1662
		1663	=over 4
		1664
		1665	=item IO::AIO::sendfile $ofh, $ifh, $offset, $count
		1666
		1667	Calls the C<eio_sendfile_sync> function, which is like C<aio_sendfile>,
		1668	but is blocking (this makes most sense if you know the input data is
		1669	likely cached already and the output filehandle is set to non-blocking
		1670	operations).
		1671
		1672	Returns the number of bytes copied, or C<-1> on error.
		1673
		1674	=item IO::AIO::fadvise $fh, $offset, $len, $advice
		1675
		1676	Simply calls the C<posix_fadvise> function (see its
		1677	manpage for details). The following advice constants are
		1678	avaiable: C<IO::AIO::FADV_NORMAL>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_SEQUENTIAL>,
		1679	C<IO::AIO::FADV_RANDOM>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_NOREUSE>,
		1680	C<IO::AIO::FADV_WILLNEED>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_DONTNEED>.
		1681
		1682	On systems that do not implement C<posix_fadvise>, this function returns
		1683	ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<posix_fadvise>.
		1684
		1685	=item IO::AIO::madvise $scalar, $offset, $len, $advice
		1686
		1687	Simply calls the C<posix_madvise> function (see its
		1688	manpage for details). The following advice constants are
		1689	avaiable: C<IO::AIO::MADV_NORMAL>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_SEQUENTIAL>,
		1690	C<IO::AIO::MADV_RANDOM>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_WILLNEED>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_DONTNEED>.
		1691
		1692	On systems that do not implement C<posix_madvise>, this function returns
		1693	ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<posix_madvise>.
		1694
		1695	=item IO::AIO::mprotect $scalar, $offset, $len, $protect
		1696
		1697	Simply calls the C<mprotect> function on the preferably AIO::mmap'ed
		1698	$scalar (see its manpage for details). The following protect
		1699	constants are avaiable: C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ>,
		1700	C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>.
		1701
		1702	On systems that do not implement C<mprotect>, this function returns
		1703	ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<mprotect>.
		1704
		1705	=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
		1706
		1707	Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
		1708	given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar.
		1709
		1710	The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
		1711	change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
		1712	or searching it with regexes and so on.
		1713
		1714	Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
		1715
		1716	The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
		1717	when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
		1718	C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
		1719
		1720	This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
		1721	page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
		1722
		1723	The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
		1724	filesize.
		1725
		1726	C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
		1727	C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
		1728
		1729	C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or
		1730	C<IO::AIO::MAP_PRIVATE>, or a number of system-specific flags (when
		1731	not available, the are defined as 0): C<IO::AIO::MAP_ANONYMOUS>
		1732	(which is set to C<MAP_ANON> if your system only provides this
		1733	constant), C<IO::AIO::MAP_HUGETLB>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_LOCKED>,
		1734	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NORESERVE>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_POPULATE> or
		1735	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NONBLOCK>
		1736
		1737	If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
		1738
		1739	C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
		1740	a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
		1741
		1742	Example:
		1743
		1744	use Digest::MD5;
		1745	use IO::AIO;
		1746
		1747	open my $fh, "<verybigfile"
		1748	or die "$!";
		1749
		1750	IO::AIO::mmap my $data, -s $fh, IO::AIO::PROT_READ, IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED, $fh
		1751	or die "verybigfile: $!";
		1752
		1753	my $fast_md5 = md5 $data;
		1754
		1755	=item IO::AIO::munmap $scalar
		1756
		1757	Removes a previous mmap and undefines the C<$scalar>.
		1758
		1759	=item IO::AIO::munlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef
		1760
		1761	Calls the C<munlock> function, undoing the effects of a previous
		1762	C<aio_mlock> call (see its description for details).
		1763
		1764	=item IO::AIO::munlockall
		1765
		1766	Calls the C<munlockall> function.
		1767
		1768	On systems that do not implement C<munlockall>, this function returns
		1769	ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<munlockall>.

		1781	=head1 EVENT LOOP INTEGRATION
		1782
		1783	It is recommended to use L<AnyEvent::AIO> to integrate IO::AIO
		1784	automatically into many event loops:
		1785
		1786	# AnyEvent integration (EV, Event, Glib, Tk, POE, urxvt, pureperl...)
		1787	use AnyEvent::AIO;
		1788
		1789	You can also integrate IO::AIO manually into many event loops, here are
		1790	some examples of how to do this:
		1791
		1792	# EV integration
		1793	my $aio_w = EV::io IO::AIO::poll_fileno, EV::READ, \&IO::AIO::poll_cb;
		1794
		1795	# Event integration
		1796	Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
		1797	poll => 'r',
		1798	cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
		1799
		1800	# Glib/Gtk2 integration
		1801	add_watch Glib::IO IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
		1802	in => sub { IO::AIO::poll_cb; 1 };
		1803
		1804	# Tk integration
		1805	Tk::Event::IO->fileevent (IO::AIO::poll_fileno, "",
		1806	readable => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);

1408		1813
1409	This module should do "the right thing" when the process using it forks:	1814	Usage of pthreads in a program changes the semantics of fork
		1815	considerably. Specifically, only async-safe functions can be called after
		1816	fork. Perl doesn't know about this, so in general, you cannot call fork
		1817	with defined behaviour in perl if pthreads are involved. IO::AIO uses
		1818	pthreads, so this applies, but many other extensions and (for inexplicable
		1819	reasons) perl itself often is linked against pthreads, so this limitation
		1820	applies to quite a lot of perls.
1410		1821
1411	Before the fork, IO::AIO enters a quiescent state where no requests	1822	This module no longer tries to fight your OS, or POSIX. That means IO::AIO
1412	can be added in other threads and no results will be processed. After	1823	only works in the process that loaded it. Forking is fully supported, but
1413	the fork the parent simply leaves the quiescent state and continues	1824	using IO::AIO in the child is not.

1415	(so that the requests started before the fork will only be handled in the
1416	parent). Threads will be started on demand until the limit set in the
1417	parent process has been reached again.
1418		1825
1419	In short: the parent will, after a short pause, continue as if fork had	1826	You might get around by not I<using> IO::AIO before (or after)

		1837
		1838	The only reasonable use for this function is to call it after forking, if
		1839	C<IO::AIO> was used in the parent. Calling it while IO::AIO is active in

		1841	will also result in any undefined (by POSIX) behaviour.
