		709
		710	C<$name> is the name of the entry.

		717
		718	C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to
		719	know, you have to run stat yourself. Also, for speed reasons, the C<$type>
		720	scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
		721
		722	C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64
		723	bit inode numbers and 32 bit perls). This field has unspecified content on
		724	systems that do not deliver the inode information.
		725

		727
		728	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order where

		730	you need to quickly find directories, or you want to find all directories
		731	while avoiding to stat() each entry.
		732
		733	If the system returns type information in readdir, then this is used

		736	short names are tried first.
		737
		738	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_STAT_ORDER
		739
		740	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
		741	suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()
		742	all files in the given directory, then the returned order will likely
		743	be fastest.
		744
		745	If both this flag and C<IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST> are specified, then

		749
		750	This flag should not be set when calling C<aio_readdirx>. Instead, it

		1696
		1697	=item IO::AIO::mprotect $scalar, $offset, $len, $protect
		1698
		1699	Simply calls the C<mprotect> function on the preferably AIO::mmap'ed
		1700	$scalar (see its manpage for details). The following protect
		1701	constants are available: C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ>,

		1703
		1704	On systems that do not implement C<mprotect>, this function returns

		1706
		1707	=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
		1708
		1709	Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
		1710	given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar.
		1711
		1712	The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
		1713	change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
		1714	or searching it with regexes and so on.
		1715
		1716	Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
		1717
		1718	The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
		1719	when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
		1720	C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
		1721
		1722	This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
		1723	page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
		1724
		1725	The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
		1726	filesize.
		1727
		1728	C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
		1729	C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
		1730
		1731	C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or
		1732	C<IO::AIO::MAP_PRIVATE>, or a number of system-specific flags (when
		1733	not available, the are defined as 0): C<IO::AIO::MAP_ANONYMOUS>
		1734	(which is set to C<MAP_ANON> if your system only provides this
		1735	constant), C<IO::AIO::MAP_HUGETLB>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_LOCKED>,
		1736	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NORESERVE>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_POPULATE> or
		1737	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NONBLOCK>
		1738
		1739	If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
		1740
		1741	C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
		1742	a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
		1743
		1744	Example:

		1760
		1761	=item IO::AIO::munlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef
		1762
		1763	Calls the C<munlock> function, undoing the effects of a previous

		1765
		1766	=item IO::AIO::munlockall
		1767
		1768	Calls the C<munlockall> function.

		1783	=head1 EVENT LOOP INTEGRATION
		1784
		1785	It is recommended to use L<AnyEvent::AIO> to integrate IO::AIO
		1786	automatically into many event loops:
		1787
		1788	# AnyEvent integration (EV, Event, Glib, Tk, POE, urxvt, pureperl...)
		1789	use AnyEvent::AIO;
		1790
		1791	You can also integrate IO::AIO manually into many event loops, here are
		1792	some examples of how to do this:
		1793
		1794	# EV integration
		1795	my $aio_w = EV::io IO::AIO::poll_fileno, EV::READ, \&IO::AIO::poll_cb;
		1796
		1797	# Event integration
		1798	Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
		1799	poll => 'r',
		1800	cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
		1801
		1802	# Glib/Gtk2 integration
		1803	add_watch Glib::IO IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
		1804	in => sub { IO::AIO::poll_cb; 1 };
		1805
		1806	# Tk integration
		1807	Tk::Event::IO->fileevent (IO::AIO::poll_fileno, "",
		1808	readable => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
		1809
		1810	# Danga::Socket integration
		1811	Danga::Socket->AddOtherFds (IO::AIO::poll_fileno =>
		1812	\&IO::AIO::poll_cb);

1265	This module should do "the right thing" when the process using it forks:	1816	Usage of pthreads in a program changes the semantics of fork
		1817	considerably. Specifically, only async-safe functions can be called after
		1818	fork. Perl doesn't know about this, so in general, you cannot call fork
		1819	with defined behaviour in perl if pthreads are involved. IO::AIO uses
		1820	pthreads, so this applies, but many other extensions and (for inexplicable
		1821	reasons) perl itself often is linked against pthreads, so this limitation
		1822	applies to quite a lot of perls.
1266		1823
1267	Before the fork, IO::AIO enters a quiescent state where no requests	1824	This module no longer tries to fight your OS, or POSIX. That means IO::AIO

1271	(so that the requests started before the fork will only be handled in the
1272	parent). Threads will be started on demand until the limit set in the
1273	parent process has been reached again.
1274		1827

		1837	data structures. This is not an operation supported by any standards, but
		1838	happens to work on GNU/Linux and some newer BSD systems.
		1839
		1840	The only reasonable use for this function is to call it after forking, if
		1841	C<IO::AIO> was used in the parent. Calling it while IO::AIO is active in
		1842	the process will result in undefined behaviour. Calling it at any time
		1843	will also result in any undefined (by POSIX) behaviour.
