654L<Cwd::realpath>).

656This request can be used to get the absolute path of the current working

1794This module should do "the right thing" when the process using it forks: 1806Usage of pthreads in a program changes the semantics of fork
1807considerably. Specifically, only async-safe functions can be called after
1808fork. Perl doesn't know about this, so in general, you cannot call fork
1809with defined behaviour in perl. IO::AIO uses pthreads, so this applies,
1810but many other extensions and (for inexplicable reasons) perl itself often
1811is linked against pthreads, so this limitation applies.
1795 1812
1796Before the fork, IO::AIO enters a quiescent state where no requests 1813Some operating systems have extensions that allow safe use of fork, and
1797can be added in other threads and no results will be processed. After 1814this module should do "the right thing" on those, and tries on others. At
1798the fork the parent simply leaves the quiescent state and continues 1815the time of this writing (2011) only GNU/Linux supports these extensions
1799request/result processing, while the child frees the request/result queue 1816to POSIX.
1800(so that the requests started before the fork will only be handled in the
1801parent). Threads will be started on demand until the limit set in the
1802parent process has been reached again.
1803
1804In short: the parent will, after a short pause, continue as if fork had
1805not been called, while the child will act as if IO::AIO has not been used
1806yet.
