320Unfortunately, you can't do this to perl. Perl I<insists> very strongly on 327Unfortunately, you can't do this to perl. Perl I<insists> very strongly on
321closing the file descriptor associated with the filehandle itself. Here is 328closing the file descriptor associated with the filehandle itself.
322what aio_close will try:
323 329
324 1. dup()licate the fd 330Therefore, C<aio_close> will not close the filehandle - instead it will
325 2. asynchronously close() the duplicated fd 331use dup2 to overwrite the file descriptor with the write-end of a pipe
326 3. dup()licate the fd once more 332(the pipe fd will be created on demand and will be cached).
327 4. let perl close() the filehandle
328 5. asynchronously close the duplicated fd
329 333
330The idea is that the first close() flushes stuff to disk that closing an 334Or in other words: the file descriptor will be closed, but it will not be
331fd will flush, so when perl closes the fd, nothing much will need to be 335free for reuse until the perl filehandle is closed.
332flushed. The second async. close() will then flush stuff to disk that
333closing the last fd to the file will flush.
334
335Just FYI, SuSv3 has this to say on close:
336
337 All outstanding record locks owned by the process on the file
338 associated with the file descriptor shall be removed.
339
340 If fildes refers to a socket, close() shall cause the socket to be
341 destroyed. ... close() shall block for up to the current linger
342 interval until all data is transmitted.
343 [this actually sounds like a specification bug, but who knows]
344
345And at least Linux additionally actually flushes stuff on every close,
346even when the file itself is still open.
347
348Sounds enourmously inefficient and complicated? Yes... please show me how
349to nuke perl's fd out of existence...

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.

959(E.g. rename). This might not work on all operating systems or have any
960specific effect, but usually it makes sure that directory changes get
961written to disc. It works for anything that can be opened for read-only,
962not just directories.

965C<fsync> on the directory fails (such as calling C<sync>).
