		551	=item aio_utime $fh_or_path, $atime, $mtime, $callback->($status)
		552
		553	Works like perl's C<utime> function (including the special case of $atime
		554	and $mtime being undef). Fractional times are supported if the underlying
		555	syscalls support them.
		556
		557	When called with a pathname, uses utimes(2) if available, otherwise

		563	# set atime and mtime to current time (basically touch(1)):

		565	# set atime to current time and mtime to beginning of the epoch:

		567
		568
		569	=item aio_chown $fh_or_path, $uid, $gid, $callback->($status)
		570
		571	Works like perl's C<chown> function, except that C<undef> for either $uid
		572	or $gid is being interpreted as "do not change" (but -1 can also be used).
		573
		574	Examples:

		576	# same as "chown root path" in the shell:
		577	aio_chown "path", 0, -1;

		684
		685	C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to

		687	scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
		688
		689	C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64

		694
		695	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order where

		706
		707	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
		708	suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()
		709	all files in the given directory, then the returned order will likely

		1637
		1638	Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the

		1640
		1641	The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't

		1644
		1645	Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
		1646
		1647	The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
		1648	when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or

		1650
		1651	This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual

		1668	If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
		1669
		1670	C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
		1671	a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
		1672
		1673	Example:
		1674
		1675	use Digest::MD5;
		1676	use IO::AIO;
		1677
		1678	open my $fh, "<verybigfile"

		1680
		1681	IO::AIO::mmap my $data, -s $fh, IO::AIO::PROT_READ, IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED, $fh

		1683
		1684	my $fast_md5 = md5 $data;

		1687
		1688	Removes a previous mmap and undefines the C<$scalar>.
		1689
		1690	=item IO::AIO::munlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef
		1691
		1692	Calls the C<munlock> function, undoing the effects of a previous
		1693	C<aio_mlock> call (see its description for details).
		1694
		1695	=item IO::AIO::munlockall
		1696
		1697	Calls the C<munlockall> function.
		1698
		1699	On systems that do not implement C<munlockall>, this function returns
		1700	ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<munlockall>.

		1713
		1714	It is recommended to use L<AnyEvent::AIO> to integrate IO::AIO
		1715	automatically into many event loops:
		1716
		1717	# AnyEvent integration (EV, Event, Glib, Tk, POE, urxvt, pureperl...)
		1718	use AnyEvent::AIO;
		1719
		1720	You can also integrate IO::AIO manually into many event loops, here are
		1721	some examples of how to do this:
		1722
		1723	# EV integration
		1724	my $aio_w = EV::io IO::AIO::poll_fileno, EV::READ, \&IO::AIO::poll_cb;
		1725
		1726	# Event integration
		1727	Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
		1728	poll => 'r',
		1729	cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
		1730
		1731	# Glib/Gtk2 integration
		1732	add_watch Glib::IO IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
		1733	in => sub { IO::AIO::poll_cb; 1 };
		1734
		1735	# Tk integration
		1736	Tk::Event::IO->fileevent (IO::AIO::poll_fileno, "",
		1737	readable => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
		1738
		1739	# Danga::Socket integration
		1740	Danga::Socket->AddOtherFds (IO::AIO::poll_fileno =>
		1741	\&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
