		1297	These work just like the C<fcntl> and C<ioctl> built-in functions, except
		1298	they execute asynchronously and pass the return value to the callback.
		1299
		1300	Both calls can be used for a lot of things, some of which make more sense
		1301	to run asynchronously in their own thread, while some others make less
		1302	sense. For example, calls that block waiting for external events, such
		1303	as locking, will also lock down an I/O thread while it is waiting, which
		1304	can deadlock the whole I/O system. At the same time, there might be no
		1305	alternative to using a thread to wait.
		1306
		1307	So in general, you should only use these calls for things that do
