488Works like the POSIX C<statvfs> or C<fstatvfs> syscalls, depending on
489whether a file handle or path was passed.
490
491On success, the callback is passed a hash reference with the following
492members: C<bsize>, C<frsize>, C<blocks>, C<bfree>, C<bavail>, C<files>,
493C<ffree>, C<favail>, C<fsid>, C<flag> and C<namemax>. On failure, C<undef>
494is passed.

496The following POSIX IO::AIO::ST_* constants are defined: C<ST_RDONLY> and
497C<ST_NOSUID>.

499The following non-POSIX IO::AIO::ST_* flag masks are defined to
500their correct value when available, or to C<0> on systems that do

502C<ST_MANDLOCK>, C<ST_WRITE>, C<ST_APPEND>, C<ST_IMMUTABLE>, C<ST_NOATIME>,

1090=item aio_msync $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef, flags = 0, $callback->($status)
1091
1092This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which only works on mmap(2)ed
1093scalars (see the C<IO::AIO::mmap> function, although it also works on data
1094scalars managed by the L<Sys::Mmap> or L<Mmap> modules, note that the
1095scalar must only be modified in-place while an aio operation is pending on
1096it).
1097
1098It calls the C<msync> function of your OS, if available, with the memory
1099area starting at C<$offset> in the string and ending C<$length> bytes
1100later. If C<$length> is negative, counts from the end, and if C<$length>
1101is C<undef>, then it goes till the end of the string. The flags can be
1102a combination of C<IO::AIO::MS_ASYNC>, C<IO::AIO::MS_INVALIDATE> and
1103C<IO::AIO::MS_SYNC>.
1104
1105=item aio_mtouch $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef, flags = 0, $callback->($status)
1106
1107This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which works best on mmap(2)ed
1108scalars.
1109
1110It touches (reads or writes) all memory pages in the specified
1111range inside the scalar. All caveats and parameters are the same
1112as for C<aio_msync>, above, except for flags, which must be either
1113C<0> (which reads all pages and ensures they are instantiated) or
1114C<IO::AIO::MT_MODIFY>, which modifies the memory page s(by reading and
1115writing an octet from it, which dirties the page).
1116
1117=item aio_mlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef, $callback->($status)
1118
1119This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which works best on mmap(2)ed
1120scalars.
1121
1122It reads in all the pages of the underlying storage into memory (if any)
1123and locks them, so they are not getting swapped/paged out or removed.
1124
1125If C<$length> is undefined, then the scalar will be locked till the end.
1126
1127On systems that do not implement C<mlock>, this function returns C<-1>
1128and sets errno to C<ENOSYS>.
1129
1130Note that the corresponding C<munlock> is synchronous and is
1131documented under L<MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS>.
1132
1133Example: open a file, mmap and mlock it - both will be undone when
1134C<$data> gets destroyed.
1135
1136 open my $fh, "<", $path or die "$path: $!";
1137 my $data;
1138 IO::AIO::mmap $data, -s $fh, IO::AIO::PROT_READ, IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED, $fh;
1139 aio_mlock $data; # mlock in background
1140
1141=item aio_mlockall $flags, $callback->($status)
1142
1143Calls the C<mlockall> function with the given C<$flags> (a combination of
1144C<IO::AIO::MCL_CURRENT> and C<IO::AIO::MCL_FUTURE>).
1145
1146On systems that do not implement C<mlockall>, this function returns C<-1>
1147and sets errno to C<ENOSYS>.
1148
1149Note that the corresponding C<munlockall> is synchronous and is
1150documented under L<MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS>.
1151
1152Example: asynchronously lock all current and future pages into memory.

1594=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
1595
1596Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
1597given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar.
1598
1599The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
1600change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
1601or searching it with regexes and so on.
1602
1603Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
1604
1605The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
1606when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
1607C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
1608
1609This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
1610page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
1611
1612The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
1613filesize.
1614
1615C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
1616C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
1617
1618C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or
1619C<IO::AIO::MAP_PRIVATE>, or a number of system-specific flags (when
1620not available, the are defined as 0): C<IO::AIO::MAP_ANONYMOUS>
1621(which is set to C<MAP_ANON> if your system only provides this
1622constant), C<IO::AIO::MAP_HUGETLB>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_LOCKED>,
1623C<IO::AIO::MAP_NORESERVE>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_POPULATE> or
1624C<IO::AIO::MAP_NONBLOCK>
1625
1626If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
1627
1628C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
1629a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
1630
1631Example:
1632
1633 use Digest::MD5;
1634 use IO::AIO;
1635
1636 open my $fh, "<verybigfile"
1637 or die "$!";
1638
1639 IO::AIO::mmap my $data, -s $fh, IO::AIO::PROT_READ, IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED, $fh
1640 or die "verybigfile: $!";
1641
1642 my $fast_md5 = md5 $data;
1643
1644=item IO::AIO::munmap $scalar
1645
1646Removes a previous mmap and undefines the C<$scalar>.
1647
1648=item IO::AIO::munlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef
1649
1650Calls the C<munlock> function, undoing the effects of a previous
1651C<aio_mlock> call (see its description for details).
1652
1653=item IO::AIO::munlockall
1654
1655Calls the C<munlockall> function.
1656
1657On systems that do not implement C<munlockall>, this function returns
1658ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<munlockall>.

1670=head1 EVENT LOOP INTEGRATION
1671
1672It is recommended to use L<AnyEvent::AIO> to integrate IO::AIO
1673automatically into many event loops:
1674
1675 # AnyEvent integration (EV, Event, Glib, Tk, POE, urxvt, pureperl...)
1676 use AnyEvent::AIO;
1677
1678You can also integrate IO::AIO manually into many event loops, here are
1679some examples of how to do this:
1680
1681 # EV integration
1682 my $aio_w = EV::io IO::AIO::poll_fileno, EV::READ, \&IO::AIO::poll_cb;
1683
1684 # Event integration
1685 Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
1686 poll => 'r',
1687 cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
1688
1689 # Glib/Gtk2 integration
1690 add_watch Glib::IO IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
1691 in => sub { IO::AIO::poll_cb; 1 };
1692
1693 # Tk integration
1694 Tk::Event::IO->fileevent (IO::AIO::poll_fileno, "",
1695 readable => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
1696
1697 # Danga::Socket integration
1698 Danga::Socket->AddOtherFds (IO::AIO::poll_fileno =>
1699 \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
