		446	Please note that C<aio_sendfile> can read more bytes from C<$in_fh> than

		452	Unlike with other C<aio_> functions, it makes a lot of sense to use
		453	C<aio_sendfile> on non-blocking sockets, as long as one end (typically
		454	the C<$in_fh>) is a file - the file I/O will then be asynchronous, while
		455	the socket I/O will be non-blocking. Note, however, that you can run
		456	into a trap where C<aio_sendfile> reads some data with readahead, then
		457	fails to write all data, and when the socket is ready the next time, the
		458	data in the cache is already lost, forcing C<aio_sendfile> to again hit
		459	the disk. Explicit C<aio_read> + C<aio_write> let's you better control

		707	C<$name> is the name of the entry.

		713	C<IO::AIO::DT_WHT>.
		714
		715	C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to
		716	know, you have to run stat yourself. Also, for speed reasons, the C<$type>
		717	scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
		718
		719	C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64
		720	bit inode numbers and 32 bit perls). This field has unspecified content on
		721	systems that do not deliver the inode information.
		722

		724
		725	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order where
		726	likely directories come first, in optimal stat order. This is useful when
		727	you need to quickly find directories, or you want to find all directories
		728	while avoiding to stat() each entry.
		729
		730	If the system returns type information in readdir, then this is used

		736
		737	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
		738	suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()
		739	all files in the given directory, then the returned order will likely
		740	be fastest.
		741
		742	If both this flag and C<IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST> are specified, then

		744
		745	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_FOUND_UNKNOWN
		746
		747	This flag should not be set when calling C<aio_readdirx>. Instead, it

		1686
		1687	=item IO::AIO::mprotect $scalar, $offset, $len, $protect
		1688
		1689	Simply calls the C<mprotect> function on the preferably AIO::mmap'ed
		1690	$scalar (see its manpage for details). The following protect
		1691	constants are avaiable: C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ>,

		1696
		1697	=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
		1698
		1699	Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
		1700	given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar.
		1701
		1702	The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
		1703	change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
		1704	or searching it with regexes and so on.
		1705
		1706	Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
		1707
		1708	The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
		1709	when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
		1710	C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
		1711
		1712	This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
		1713	page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
		1714
		1715	The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
		1716	filesize.
		1717
		1718	C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
		1719	C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
		1720
		1721	C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or
		1722	C<IO::AIO::MAP_PRIVATE>, or a number of system-specific flags (when
		1723	not available, the are defined as 0): C<IO::AIO::MAP_ANONYMOUS>
		1724	(which is set to C<MAP_ANON> if your system only provides this
		1725	constant), C<IO::AIO::MAP_HUGETLB>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_LOCKED>,
		1726	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NORESERVE>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_POPULATE> or
		1727	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NONBLOCK>
		1728
		1729	If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
		1730
		1731	C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
		1732	a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
		1733
		1734	Example:

1277	This module should do "the right thing" when the process using it forks:	1806	Usage of pthreads in a program changes the semantics of fork
		1807	considerably. Specifically, only async-safe functions can be called after
		1808	fork. Perl doesn't know about this, so in general, you cannot call fork
		1809	with defined behaviour in perl. IO::AIO uses pthreads, so this applies,
		1810	but many other extensions and (for inexplicable reasons) perl itself often
		1811	is linked against pthreads, so this limitation applies.

1280	can be added in other threads and no results will be processed. After	1814	this module should do "the right thing" on those, and tries on others. At
1281	the fork the parent simply leaves the quiescent state and continues	1815	the time of this writing (2011) only GNU/Linux supports these extensions
1282	request/result processing, while the child frees the request/result queue	1816	to POSIX.
1283	(so that the requests started before the fork will only be handled in the
1284	parent). Threads will be started on demand until the limit set in the
1285	parent process has been reached again.
1286
1287	In short: the parent will, after a short pause, continue as if fork had
1288	not been called, while the child will act as if IO::AIO has not been used
1289	yet.
