433Please note that C<aio_sendfile> can read more bytes from C<$in_fh> than
434are written, and there is no way to find out how many bytes have been read
435from C<aio_sendfile> alone, as C<aio_sendfile> only provides the number of
436bytes written to C<$out_fh>. Only if the result value equals C<$length>
437one can assume that C<$length> bytes have been read.
438
439Unlike with other C<aio_> functions, it makes a lot of sense to use
440C<aio_sendfile> on non-blocking sockets, as long as one end (typically
441the C<$in_fh>) is a file - the file I/O will then be asynchronous, while
442the socket I/O will be non-blocking. Note, however, that you can run into
443a trap where C<aio_sendfile> reads some data with readahead, then fails
444to write all data, and when the socket is ready the next time, the data
445in the cache is already lost, forcing C<aio_sendfile> to again hit the
446disk. Explicit C<aio_read> + C<aio_write> let's you control resource usage
447much better.

391bytes have been read from C<aio_sendfile> alone, as C<aio_sendfile> only

489To help interpret the mode and dev/rdev stat values, IO::AIO offers the
490following constants and functions (if not implemented, the constants will
491be C<0> and the functions will either C<croak> or fall back on traditional
492behaviour).

506=item aio_statvfs $fh_or_path, $callback->($statvfs)
507
508Works like the POSIX C<statvfs> or C<fstatvfs> syscalls, depending on
509whether a file handle or path was passed.
510
511On success, the callback is passed a hash reference with the following
512members: C<bsize>, C<frsize>, C<blocks>, C<bfree>, C<bavail>, C<files>,
513C<ffree>, C<favail>, C<fsid>, C<flag> and C<namemax>. On failure, C<undef>
514is passed.
515
516The following POSIX IO::AIO::ST_* constants are defined: C<ST_RDONLY> and
517C<ST_NOSUID>.
518
519The following non-POSIX IO::AIO::ST_* flag masks are defined to
520their correct value when available, or to C<0> on systems that do
521not support them: C<ST_NODEV>, C<ST_NOEXEC>, C<ST_SYNCHRONOUS>,
522C<ST_MANDLOCK>, C<ST_WRITE>, C<ST_APPEND>, C<ST_IMMUTABLE>, C<ST_NOATIME>,
523C<ST_NODIRATIME> and C<ST_RELATIME>.

1112=item aio_msync $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef, flags = 0, $callback->($status)
1113
1114This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which only works on mmap(2)ed
1115scalars (see the C<IO::AIO::mmap> function, although it also works on data
1116scalars managed by the L<Sys::Mmap> or L<Mmap> modules, note that the
1117scalar must only be modified in-place while an aio operation is pending on
1118it).
1119
1120It calls the C<msync> function of your OS, if available, with the memory
1121area starting at C<$offset> in the string and ending C<$length> bytes
1122later. If C<$length> is negative, counts from the end, and if C<$length>
1123is C<undef>, then it goes till the end of the string. The flags can be
1124a combination of C<IO::AIO::MS_ASYNC>, C<IO::AIO::MS_INVALIDATE> and
1125C<IO::AIO::MS_SYNC>.
1126
1127=item aio_mtouch $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef, flags = 0, $callback->($status)
1128
1129This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which works best on mmap(2)ed
1130scalars.
1131
1132It touches (reads or writes) all memory pages in the specified
1133range inside the scalar. All caveats and parameters are the same
1134as for C<aio_msync>, above, except for flags, which must be either
1135C<0> (which reads all pages and ensures they are instantiated) or
1136C<IO::AIO::MT_MODIFY>, which modifies the memory page s(by reading and
1137writing an octet from it, which dirties the page).
1138
1139=item aio_mlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef, $callback->($status)
1140
1141This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which works best on mmap(2)ed
1142scalars.
1143
1144It reads in all the pages of the underlying storage into memory (if any)
1145and locks them, so they are not getting swapped/paged out or removed.
1146
1147If C<$length> is undefined, then the scalar will be locked till the end.
1148
1149On systems that do not implement C<mlock>, this function returns C<-1>
1150and sets errno to C<ENOSYS>.
1151
1152Note that the corresponding C<munlock> is synchronous and is
1153documented under L<MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS>.
1154
1155Example: open a file, mmap and mlock it - both will be undone when
1156C<$data> gets destroyed.
1157
1158 open my $fh, "<", $path or die "$path: $!";
1159 my $data;
1160 IO::AIO::mmap $data, -s $fh, IO::AIO::PROT_READ, IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED, $fh;
1161 aio_mlock $data; # mlock in background
1162
1163=item aio_mlockall $flags, $callback->($status)
1164
1165Calls the C<mlockall> function with the given C<$flags> (a combination of
1166C<IO::AIO::MCL_CURRENT> and C<IO::AIO::MCL_FUTURE>).
1167
1168On systems that do not implement C<mlockall>, this function returns C<-1>
1169and sets errno to C<ENOSYS>.
1170
1171Note that the corresponding C<munlockall> is synchronous and is
1172documented under L<MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS>.
1173
1174Example: asynchronously lock all current and future pages into memory.

1625
1626=item IO::AIO::mprotect $scalar, $offset, $len, $protect
1627
1628Simply calls the C<mprotect> function on the preferably AIO::mmap'ed
1629$scalar (see its manpage for details). The following protect
1630constants are avaiable: C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ>,
1631C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>.

1634ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<mprotect>.
1635
1636=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
1637
1638Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
1639given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar.
1640
1641The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
1642change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
1643or searching it with regexes and so on.
1644
1645Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
1646
1647The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
1648when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
1649C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
1650
1651This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
1652page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
1653
1654The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
1655filesize.
1656
1657C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
1658C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
1659
1660C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or
1661C<IO::AIO::MAP_PRIVATE>, or a number of system-specific flags (when
1662not available, the are defined as 0): C<IO::AIO::MAP_ANONYMOUS>
1663(which is set to C<MAP_ANON> if your system only provides this
1664constant), C<IO::AIO::MAP_HUGETLB>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_LOCKED>,
1665C<IO::AIO::MAP_NORESERVE>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_POPULATE> or
1666C<IO::AIO::MAP_NONBLOCK>
1667
1668If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
1669
1670C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
1671a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
1672
1673Example:
1674
1675 use Digest::MD5;
1676 use IO::AIO;
1677
1678 open my $fh, "<verybigfile"
1679 or die "$!";
1680
1681 IO::AIO::mmap my $data, -s $fh, IO::AIO::PROT_READ, IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED, $fh
1682 or die "verybigfile: $!";
1683
1684 my $fast_md5 = md5 $data;
1685
1686=item IO::AIO::munmap $scalar
1687
1688Removes a previous mmap and undefines the C<$scalar>.
1689
1690=item IO::AIO::munlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef
1691
1692Calls the C<munlock> function, undoing the effects of a previous
1693C<aio_mlock> call (see its description for details).
1694
1695=item IO::AIO::munlockall
1696
1697Calls the C<munlockall> function.
1698
1699On systems that do not implement C<munlockall>, this function returns
1700ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<munlockall>.

1712=head1 EVENT LOOP INTEGRATION
1713
1714It is recommended to use L<AnyEvent::AIO> to integrate IO::AIO
1715automatically into many event loops:
1716
1717 # AnyEvent integration (EV, Event, Glib, Tk, POE, urxvt, pureperl...)
1718 use AnyEvent::AIO;
1719
1720You can also integrate IO::AIO manually into many event loops, here are
1721some 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);
