52		32
53	This module implements asynchronous I/O using whatever means your	33	This module implements asynchronous I/O using whatever means your
54	operating system supports.	34	operating system supports. It is implemented as an interface to C<libeio>
		35	(L<http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libeio.html>).
		36
		37	Asynchronous means that operations that can normally block your program
		38	(e.g. reading from disk) will be done asynchronously: the operation
		39	will still block, but you can do something else in the meantime. This
		40	is extremely useful for programs that need to stay interactive even
		41	when doing heavy I/O (GUI programs, high performance network servers
		42	etc.), but can also be used to easily do operations in parallel that are
		43	normally done sequentially, e.g. stat'ing many files, which is much faster
		44	on a RAID volume or over NFS when you do a number of stat operations
		45	concurrently.
		46
		47	While most of this works on all types of file descriptors (for
		48	example sockets), using these functions on file descriptors that
		49	support nonblocking operation (again, sockets, pipes etc.) is
		50	very inefficient. Use an event loop for that (such as the L<EV>
		51	module): IO::AIO will naturally fit into such an event loop itself.

		81	aio_open "/etc/passwd", IO::AIO::O_RDONLY, 0, sub {
		82	my $fh = shift

		85	# stat'ing filehandles is generally non-blocking

		575
		576	When called with a pathname, uses utimes(2) if available, otherwise

		713
		714	C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to

		717
		718	C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64

		735
		736	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
		737	suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()

		740
		741	If both this flag and C<IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST> are specified, then

		1695
		1696	=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
		1697
		1698	Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
		1699	given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar.
		1700
		1701	The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
		1702	change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
		1703	or searching it with regexes and so on.
		1704
		1705	Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
		1706
		1707	The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
		1708	when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
		1709	C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
		1710
		1711	This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
		1712	page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
		1713
		1714	The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
		1715	filesize.
		1716
		1717	C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
		1718	C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
		1719
		1720	C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or
		1721	C<IO::AIO::MAP_PRIVATE>, or a number of system-specific flags (when
		1722	not available, the are defined as 0): C<IO::AIO::MAP_ANONYMOUS>
		1723	(which is set to C<MAP_ANON> if your system only provides this
		1724	constant), C<IO::AIO::MAP_HUGETLB>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_LOCKED>,
		1725	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NORESERVE>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_POPULATE> or
		1726	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NONBLOCK>
		1727
		1728	If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
		1729
		1730	C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
		1731	a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
		1732
		1733	Example:
		1734
		1735	use Digest::MD5;
		1736	use IO::AIO;
		1737
		1738	open my $fh, "<verybigfile"
		1739	or die "$!";
		1740
		1741	IO::AIO::mmap my $data, -s $fh, IO::AIO::PROT_READ, IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED, $fh
		1742	or die "verybigfile: $!";
		1743
		1744	my $fast_md5 = md5 $data;
		1745
		1746	=item IO::AIO::munmap $scalar
		1747
		1748	Removes a previous mmap and undefines the C<$scalar>.
		1749
		1750	=item IO::AIO::munlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef
		1751
		1752	Calls the C<munlock> function, undoing the effects of a previous
		1753	C<aio_mlock> call (see its description for details).
		1754
		1755	=item IO::AIO::munlockall
		1756
		1757	Calls the C<munlockall> function.
		1758
		1759	On systems that do not implement C<munlockall>, this function returns
		1760	ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<munlockall>.

		1772	=head1 EVENT LOOP INTEGRATION
		1773
		1774	It is recommended to use L<AnyEvent::AIO> to integrate IO::AIO
		1775	automatically into many event loops:
		1776
		1777	# AnyEvent integration (EV, Event, Glib, Tk, POE, urxvt, pureperl...)
		1778	use AnyEvent::AIO;
		1779
		1780	You can also integrate IO::AIO manually into many event loops, here are
		1781	some examples of how to do this:
		1782
		1783	# EV integration
		1784	my $aio_w = EV::io IO::AIO::poll_fileno, EV::READ, \&IO::AIO::poll_cb;
		1785
		1786	# Event integration
		1787	Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
		1788	poll => 'r',
		1789	cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
		1790
		1791	# Glib/Gtk2 integration
		1792	add_watch Glib::IO IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
		1793	in => sub { IO::AIO::poll_cb; 1 };
		1794
		1795	# Tk integration
		1796	Tk::Event::IO->fileevent (IO::AIO::poll_fileno, "",
		1797	readable => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
		1798
		1799	# Danga::Socket integration
		1800	Danga::Socket->AddOtherFds (IO::AIO::poll_fileno =>
		1801	\&IO::AIO::poll_cb);

1003	This module should do "the right thing" when the process using it forks:	1805	Usage of pthreads in a program changes the semantics of fork
		1806	considerably. Specifically, only async-safe functions can be called after
		1807	fork. Perl doesn't know about this, so in general, you cannot call fork
		1808	with defined behaviour in perl. IO::AIO uses pthreads, so this applies,
		1809	but many other extensions and (for inexplicable reasons) perl itself often
		1810	is linked against pthreads, so this limitation applies.
1004		1811

1009	(so that the requests started before the fork will only be handled in the
1010	parent). Threads will be started on demand until the limit set in the
1011	parent process has been reached again.
1012
1013	In short: the parent will, after a short pause, continue as if fork had
1014	not been called, while the child will act as if IO::AIO has not been used
1015	yet.
