319time when the filehandle is destroyed. Normally, you can safely call perls
320C<close> or just let filehandles go out of scope.

324 329
330Therefore, C<aio_close> will not close the filehandle - instead it will
331use dup2 to overwrite the file descriptor with the write-end of a pipe
332(the pipe fd will be created on demand and will be cached).
333
334Or in other words: the file descriptor will be closed, but it will not be
335free for reuse until the perl filehandle is closed.

543=item aio_readdirx $pathname, $flags, $callback->($entries, $flags)
544
545Quite similar to C<aio_readdir>, but the C<$flags> argument allows to tune
546behaviour and output format. In case of an error, C<$entries> will be
547C<undef>.
548
549The flags are a combination of the following constants, ORed together (the
550flags will also be passed to the callback, possibly modified):
551
552=over 4
553
554=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DENTS
555
556When this flag is off, then the callback gets an arrayref with of names
557only (as with C<aio_readdir>), otherwise it gets an arrayref with
558C<[$name, $type, $inode]> arrayrefs, each describing a single directory
559entry in more detail.
560
561C<$name> is the name of the entry.
562
563C<$type> is one of the C<IO::AIO::DT_xxx> constants:
564
565C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN>, C<IO::AIO::DT_FIFO>, C<IO::AIO::DT_CHR>, C<IO::AIO::DT_DIR>,
566C<IO::AIO::DT_BLK>, C<IO::AIO::DT_REG>, C<IO::AIO::DT_LNK>, C<IO::AIO::DT_SOCK>,
567C<IO::AIO::DT_WHT>.
568
569C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to
570know, you have to run stat yourself. Also, for speed reasons, the C<$type>
571scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
572
573C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64
574bit inode numbers and 32 bit perls). This field has unspecified content on
575systems that do not deliver the inode information.
576
577=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST
578
579When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order where
580likely directories come first. This is useful when you need to quickly
581find directories, or you want to find all directories while avoiding to
582stat() each entry.
583
584If the system returns type information in readdir, then this is used
585to find directories directly. Otherwise, likely directories are files
586beginning with ".", or otherwise files with no dots, of which files with
587short names are tried first.
588
589=item IO::AIO::READDIR_STAT_ORDER
590
591When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
592suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()
593all files in the given directory, then the returned order will likely
594be fastest.
595
596If both this flag and C<IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST> are specified, then
597the likely dirs come first, resulting in a less optimal stat order.
598
599=item IO::AIO::READDIR_FOUND_UNKNOWN
600
601This flag should not be set when calling C<aio_readdirx>. Instead, it
602is being set by C<aio_readdirx>, when any of the C<$type>'s found were
603C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN>. The absense of this flag therefore indicates that all
604C<$type>'s are known, which can be used to speed up some algorithms.
