		669	=over 4
		670
		671	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DENTS
		672
		673	When this flag is off, then the callback gets an arrayref consisting of
		674	names only (as with C<aio_readdir>), otherwise it gets an arrayref with
		675	C<[$name, $type, $inode]> arrayrefs, each describing a single directory
		676	entry in more detail.
		677
		678	C<$name> is the name of the entry.
		679
		680	C<$type> is one of the C<IO::AIO::DT_xxx> constants:
		681
		682	C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN>, C<IO::AIO::DT_FIFO>, C<IO::AIO::DT_CHR>, C<IO::AIO::DT_DIR>,
		683	C<IO::AIO::DT_BLK>, C<IO::AIO::DT_REG>, C<IO::AIO::DT_LNK>, C<IO::AIO::DT_SOCK>,
		684	C<IO::AIO::DT_WHT>.
		685
		686	C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to
		687	know, you have to run stat yourself. Also, for speed reasons, the C<$type>
		688	scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
		689
		690	C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64
		691	bit inode numbers and 32 bit perls). This field has unspecified content on
		692	systems that do not deliver the inode information.
		693
		694	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST
		695
		696	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order where
		697	likely directories come first, in optimal stat order. This is useful when
		698	you need to quickly find directories, or you want to find all directories
		699	while avoiding to stat() each entry.
		700
		701	If the system returns type information in readdir, then this is used
		702	to find directories directly. Otherwise, likely directories are names
		703	beginning with ".", or otherwise names with no dots, of which names with
		704	short names are tried first.
		705
		706	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_STAT_ORDER
		707
		708	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
		709	suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()
		710	all files in the given directory, then the returned order will likely
		711	be fastest.
		712
		713	If both this flag and C<IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST> are specified, then
		714	the likely dirs come first, resulting in a less optimal stat order.
		715
		716	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_FOUND_UNKNOWN
		717
		718	This flag should not be set when calling C<aio_readdirx>. Instead, it
		719	is being set by C<aio_readdirx>, when any of the C<$type>'s found were
		720	C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN>. The absense of this flag therefore indicates that all
		721	C<$type>'s are known, which can be used to speed up some algorithms.

		1640
		1641	=item IO::AIO::mprotect $scalar, $offset, $len, $protect
		1642
		1643	Simply calls the C<mprotect> function on the preferably AIO::mmap'ed

		1645	constants are avaiable: C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ>,

		1650
		1651	=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
		1652
		1653	Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
		1654	given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar.
		1655
		1656	The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
		1657	change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
		1658	or searching it with regexes and so on.
		1659
		1660	Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
		1661
		1662	The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
		1663	when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
		1664	C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
		1665
		1666	This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
		1667	page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
		1668
		1669	The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
		1670	filesize.
		1671
		1672	C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
		1673	C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
		1674
		1675	C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or

		1682
		1683	If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
