420Seeks the filehandle to the new C<$offset>, similarly to perl's
421C<sysseek>. The C<$whence> can use the traditional values (C<0> for
422C<IO::AIO::SEEK_SET>, C<1> for C<IO::AIO::SEEK_CUR> or C<2> for
423C<IO::AIO::SEEK_END>).
424
425The resulting absolute offset will be passed to the callback, or C<-1> in
426case of an error.
427
428In theory, the C<$whence> constants could be different than the
429corresponding values from L<Fcntl>, but perl guarantees they are the same,
430so don't panic.
431
432As a GNU/Linux (and maybe Solaris) extension, also the constants
433C<IO::AIO::SEEK_DATA> and C<IO::AIO::SEEK_HOLE> are available, if they
434could be found. No guarantees about suitability for use in C<aio_seek> or
435Perl's C<sysseek> can be made though, although I would naively assume they
436"just work".

1278C<$count> is the maximum number of extent records to return. If it is
1279C<undef>, then IO::AIO queries all extents of the file. As a very special
1280case, if it is C<0>, then the callback receives the number of extents
1281instead of the extents themselves.

1349=head2 IO::AIO::WD - multiple working directories
1350
1351Your process only has one current working directory, which is used by all
1352threads. This makes it hard to use relative paths (some other component
1353could call C<chdir> at any time, and it is hard to control when the path
1354will be used by IO::AIO).
1355
1356One solution for this is to always use absolute paths. This usually works,
1357but can be quite slow (the kernel has to walk the whole path on every
1358access), and can also be a hassle to implement.
1359
1360Newer POSIX systems have a number of functions (openat, fdopendir,
1361futimensat and so on) that make it possible to specify working directories
1362per operation.
1363
1364For portability, and because the clowns who "designed", or shall I write,
1365perpetrated this new interface were obviously half-drunk, this abstraction
1366cannot be perfect, though.
1367
1368IO::AIO allows you to convert directory paths into a so-called IO::AIO::WD
1369object. This object stores the canonicalised, absolute version of the
1370path, and on systems that allow it, also a directory file descriptor.
1371
1372Everywhere where a pathname is accepted by IO::AIO (e.g. in C<aio_stat>
1373or C<aio_unlink>), one can specify an array reference with an IO::AIO::WD
1374object and a pathname instead (or the IO::AIO::WD object alone, which
1375gets interpreted as C<[$wd, "."]>). If the pathname is absolute, the
1376IO::AIO::WD object is ignored, otherwise the pathname is resolved relative
1377to that IO::AIO::WD object.
1378
1379For example, to get a wd object for F</etc> and then stat F<passwd>
1380inside, you would write:
1381
1382 aio_wd "/etc", sub {
1383 my $etcdir = shift;
1384
1385 # although $etcdir can be undef on error, there is generally no reason
1386 # to check for errors here, as aio_stat will fail with ENOENT
1387 # when $etcdir is undef.
1388
1389 aio_stat [$etcdir, "passwd"], sub {
1390 # yay
1391 };
1392 };
1393
1394That C<aio_wd> is a request and not a normal function shows that creating
1395an IO::AIO::WD object is itself a potentially blocking operation, which is
1396why it is done asynchronously.
1397
1398To stat the directory obtained with C<aio_wd> above, one could write
1399either of the following three request calls:
1400
1401 aio_lstat "/etc" , sub { ... # pathname as normal string
1402 aio_lstat [$wd, "."], sub { ... # "." relative to $wd (i.e. $wd itself)
1403 aio_lstat $wd , sub { ... # shorthand for the previous
1404
1405As with normal pathnames, IO::AIO keeps a copy of the working directory
1406object and the pathname string, so you could write the following without
1407causing any issues due to C<$path> getting reused:
1408
1409 my $path = [$wd, undef];
1410
1411 for my $name (qw(abc def ghi)) {
1412 $path->[1] = $name;
1413 aio_stat $path, sub {
1414 # ...
1415 };
1416 }
1417
1418There are some caveats: when directories get renamed (or deleted), the
1419pathname string doesn't change, so will point to the new directory (or
1420nowhere at all), while the directory fd, if available on the system,
1421will still point to the original directory. Most functions accepting a
1422pathname will use the directory fd on newer systems, and the string on
1423older systems. Some functions (such as realpath) will always rely on the
1424string form of the pathname.
1425
1426So this fucntionality is mainly useful to get some protection against
1427C<chdir>, to easily get an absolute path out of a relative path for future
1428reference, and to speed up doing many operations in the same directory
1429(e.g. when stat'ing all files in a directory).
1430
1431The following functions implement this working directory abstraction:
1432
1433=over 4
1434
1435=item aio_wd $pathname, $callback->($wd)
1436
1437Asynchonously canonicalise the given pathname and convert it to an
1438IO::AIO::WD object representing it. If possible and supported on the
1439system, also open a directory fd to speed up pathname resolution relative
1440to this working directory.
1441
1442If something goes wrong, then C<undef> is passwd to the callback instead
1443of a working directory object and C<$!> is set appropriately. Since
1444passing C<undef> as working directory component of a pathname fails the
1445request with C<ENOENT>, there is often no need for error checking in the
1446C<aio_wd> callback, as future requests using the value will fail in the
1447expected way.
1448
1449If this call isn't available because your OS lacks it or it couldn't be
1450detected, it will be emulated by calling C<fsync> instead.
1451
1452=item IO::AIO::CWD
1453
1454This is a compiletime constant (object) that represents the process
1455current working directory.
1456
1457Specifying this object as working directory object for a pathname is as
1458if the pathname would be specified directly, without a directory object,
1459e.g., these calls are functionally identical:
1460
1461 aio_stat "somefile", sub { ... };
1462 aio_stat [IO::AIO::CWD, "somefile"], sub { ... };
