88The filenames you pass to these routines I<must> be absolute. The reason 93The pathnames you pass to these routines I<must> be absolute and

99To encode pathnames to byte form, either make sure you either: a)
100always pass in filenames you got from outside (command line, readdir
101etc.), b) are ASCII or ISO 8859-1, c) use the Encode module and encode
102your pathnames to the locale (or other) encoding in effect in the user
103environment, d) use Glib::filename_from_unicode on unicode filenames or e)
104use something else.

357
358Before the fork IO::AIO enters a quiescent state where no requests can be
359added in other threads and no results will be processed. After the fork
360the parent simply leaves the quiescent state and continues request/result
361processing, while the child clears the request/result queue and starts the
362same number of threads as were in use by the parent.
