		69	never call C<poll_cb> (or other C<aio_> functions) recursively.
		70
		71	=head1 REQUEST ANATOMY AND LIFETIME
		72
		73	Every C<aio_*> function creates a request. which is a C data structure not
		74	directly visible to Perl.
		75
		76	If called in non-void context, every request function returns a Perl
		77	object representing the request. In void context, nothing is returned,
		78	which saves a bit of memory.
		79
		80	The perl object is a fairly standard ref-to-hash object. The hash contents
		81	are not used by IO::AIO so you are free to store anything you like in it.
		82
		83	During their existance, aio requests travel through the following states,
		84	in order:
		85
		86	=over 4
		87
		88	=item ready
		89
		90	Immediately after a request is created it is put into the ready state,
		91	waiting for a thread to execute it.
		92
		93	=item execute
		94
		95	A thread has accepted the request for processing and is currently
		96	executing it (e.g. blocking in read).
		97
		98	=item pending
		99
		100	The request has been executed and is waiting for result processing.
		101
		102	While request submission and execution is fully asynchronous, result
		103	processing is not and relies on the perl interpreter calling C<poll_cb>
		104	(or another function with the same effect).
		105
		106	=item result
		107
		108	The request results are processed synchronously by C<poll_cb>.
		109
		110	The C<poll_cb> function will process all outstanding aio requests by
		111	calling their callbacks, freeing memory associated with them and managing
		112	any groups they are contained in.
		113
		114	=item done
		115
		116	Request has reached the end of its lifetime and holds no resources anymore
		117	(except possibly for the Perl object, but its connection to the actual
		118	aio request is severed and calling its methods will either do nothing or
		119	result in a runtime error).

		173	etc.), b) are ASCII or ISO 8859-1, c) use the Encode module and encode

		277
		278	This call tries to make use of a native C<sendfile> syscall to provide

		285
		286	Please note, however, that C<aio_sendfile> can read more bytes from
		287	C<$in_fh> than are written, and there is no way to find out how many
		288	bytes have been read from C<aio_sendfile> alone, as C<aio_sendfile> only
		289	provides the number of bytes written to C<$out_fh>. Only if the result

		473	Scans a directory (similar to C<aio_readdir>) but additionally tries to

		476	recurse into (everything else, including symlinks to directories).
		477
		478	C<aio_scandir> is a composite request that creates of many sub requests_
		479	C<$maxreq> specifies the maximum number of outstanding aio requests that
		480	this function generates. If it is C<< <= 0 >>, then a suitable default
		481	will be chosen (currently 4).
		482
		483	On error, the callback is called without arguments, otherwise it receives
		484	two array-refs with path-relative entry names.

		489	my ($dirs, $nondirs) = @_;
		490	print "real directories: @$dirs\n";
		491	print "everything else: @$nondirs\n";
		492	};
		493
		494	Implementation notes.
		495
		496	The C<aio_readdir> cannot be avoided, but C<stat()>'ing every entry can.
		497
		498	After reading the directory, the modification time, size etc. of the
		499	directory before and after the readdir is checked, and if they match (and
		500	isn't the current time), the link count will be used to decide how many
		501	entries are directories (if >= 2). Otherwise, no knowledge of the number
		502	of subdirectories will be assumed.
		503
		504	Then entries will be sorted into likely directories (everything without
		505	a non-initial dot currently) and likely non-directories (everything
		506	else). Then every entry plus an appended C</.> will be C<stat>'ed,
		507	likely directories first. If that succeeds, it assumes that the entry
		508	is a directory or a symlink to directory (which will be checked
		509	seperately). This is often faster than stat'ing the entry itself because
		510	filesystems might detect the type of the entry without reading the inode
		511	data (e.g. ext2fs filetype feature).
		512
		513	If the known number of directories (link count - 2) has been reached, the
		514	rest of the entries is assumed to be non-directories.
		515
		516	This only works with certainty on POSIX (= UNIX) filesystems, which
		517	fortunately are the vast majority of filesystems around.
		518
		519	It will also likely work on non-POSIX filesystems with reduced efficiency
		520	as those tend to return 0 or 1 as link counts, which disables the
		521	directory counting heuristic.

		637	print "all stats done\n";
		638	};
		639

		642	(aio_stat ...),
		643	...;
		644
		645	=item aio_nop $callback->()
		646
		647	This is a special request - it does nothing in itself and is only used for
		648	side effects, such as when you want to add a dummy request to a group so
		649	that finishing the requests in the group depends on executing the given
		650	code.
		651
		652	While this request does nothing, it still goes through the execution
		653	phase and still requires a worker thread. Thus, the callback will not
		654	be executed immediately but only after other requests in the queue have
		655	entered their execution phase. This can be used to measure request

		662
		663	While it is theoretically handy to have simple I/O scheduling requests
		664	like sleep and file handle readable/writable, the overhead this creates is
		665	immense (it blocks a thread for a long time) so do not use this function
		666	except to put your application under artificial I/O pressure.

		679	Cancels the request, if possible. Has the effect of skipping execution
		680	when entering the B<execute> state and skipping calling the callback when
		681	entering the the B<result> state, but will leave the request otherwise
		682	untouched. That means that requests that currently execute will not be
		683	stopped and resources held by the request will not be freed prematurely.

		690
		691	=head2 IO::AIO::GRP CLASS
		692
		693	This class is a subclass of L<IO::AIO::REQ>, so all its methods apply to
		694	objects of this class, too.
		695
		696	A IO::AIO::GRP object is a special request that can contain multiple other
		697	aio requests.
		698
		699	You create one by calling the C<aio_group> constructing function with a
		700	callback that will be called when all contained requests have entered the
		701	C<done> state:
		702
		703	my $grp = aio_group sub {
		704	print "all requests are done\n";
		705	};
		706
		707	You add requests by calling the C<add> method with one or more
		708	C<IO::AIO::REQ> objects:
		709
		710	$grp->add (aio_unlink "...");
		711
		712	add $grp aio_stat "...", sub {
		713	$_[0] or return $grp->result ("error");
		714
		715	# add another request dynamically, if first succeeded
		716	add $grp aio_open "...", sub {
		717	$grp->result ("ok");
		718	};
		719	};
		720
		721	This makes it very easy to create composite requests (see the source of
		722	C<aio_move> for an application) that work and feel like simple requests.
		723
		724	=over 4
		725
		726	=item * The IO::AIO::GRP objects will be cleaned up during calls to
		727	C<IO::AIO::poll_cb>, just like any other request.
		728
		729	=item * They can be canceled like any other request. Canceling will cancel not
		730	only the request itself, but also all requests it contains.
		731
		732	=item * They can also can also be added to other IO::AIO::GRP objects.
		733
		734	=item * You must not add requests to a group from within the group callback (or
		735	any later time).
		736
		737	=back
		738
		739	Their lifetime, simplified, looks like this: when they are empty, they
		740	will finish very quickly. If they contain only requests that are in the
		741	C<done> state, they will also finish. Otherwise they will continue to
		742	exist.
		743
		744	That means after creating a group you have some time to add requests. And
		745	in the callbacks of those requests, you can add further requests to the
		746	group. And only when all those requests have finished will the the group
		747	itself finish.
		748
		749	=over 4
		750

		752
		753	=item $grp->add (...)
		754
		755	Add one or more requests to the group. Any type of L<IO::AIO::REQ> can
		756	be added, including other groups, as long as you do not create circular
		757	dependencies.
		758
		759	Returns all its arguments.
		760
		761	=item $grp->cancel_subs
		762
		763	Cancel all subrequests and clears any feeder, but not the group request
		764	itself. Useful when you queued a lot of events but got a result early.
		765
		766	=item $grp->result (...)
		767
		768	Set the result value(s) that will be passed to the group callback when all
		769	subrequests have finished and set thre groups errno to the current value
		770	of errno (just like calling C<errno> without an error number). By default,
		771	no argument will be passed and errno is zero.
		772
		773	=item $grp->errno ([$errno])
		774
		775	Sets the group errno value to C<$errno>, or the current value of errno
		776	when the argument is missing.
		777
		778	Every aio request has an associated errno value that is restored when
		779	the callback is invoked. This method lets you change this value from its
		780	default (0).
		781
		782	Calling C<result> will also set errno, so make sure you either set C<$!>
		783	before the call to C<result>, or call c<errno> after it.
		784
		785	=item feed $grp $callback->($grp)
		786
		787	Sets a feeder/generator on this group: every group can have an attached
		788	generator that generates requests if idle. The idea behind this is that,
		789	although you could just queue as many requests as you want in a group,
		790	this might starve other requests for a potentially long time. For
		791	example, C<aio_scandir> might generate hundreds of thousands C<aio_stat>
		792	requests, delaying any later requests for a long time.
		793
		794	To avoid this, and allow incremental generation of requests, you can
		795	instead a group and set a feeder on it that generates those requests. The
		796	feed callback will be called whenever there are few enough (see C<limit>,
		797	below) requests active in the group itself and is expected to queue more
		798	requests.
		799
		800	The feed callback can queue as many requests as it likes (i.e. C<add> does
		801	not impose any limits).
		802
		803	If the feed does not queue more requests when called, it will be
		804	automatically removed from the group.
		805
		806	If the feed limit is C<0>, it will be set to C<2> automatically.
		807
		808	Example:
		809
		810	# stat all files in @files, but only ever use four aio requests concurrently:
		811
		812	my $grp = aio_group sub { print "finished\n" };
		813	limit $grp 4;
		814	feed $grp sub {
		815	my $file = pop @files
		816	or return;
		817
		818	add $grp aio_stat $file, sub { ... };
		819	};
		820
		821	=item limit $grp $num
		822
		823	Sets the feeder limit for the group: The feeder will be called whenever
		824	the group contains less than this many requests.
		825
		826	Setting the limit to C<0> will pause the feeding process.

		999	=head2 FORK BEHAVIOUR
		1000
		1001	This module should do "the right thing" when the process using it forks:
		1002
		1003	Before the fork, IO::AIO enters a quiescent state where no requests
		1004	can be added in other threads and no results will be processed. After
		1005	the fork the parent simply leaves the quiescent state and continues
		1006	request/result processing, while the child frees the request/result queue
		1007	(so that the requests started before the fork will only be handled in the
		1008	parent). Threads will be started on demand until the limit set in the
		1009	parent process has been reached again.
		1010
		1011	In short: the parent will, after a short pause, continue as if fork had
		1012	not been called, while the child will act as if IO::AIO has not been used
		1013	yet.
		1014
		1015	=head2 MEMORY USAGE
		1016
		1017	Per-request usage:
		1018
		1019	Each aio request uses - depending on your architecture - around 100-200
		1020	bytes of memory. In addition, stat requests need a stat buffer (possibly
		1021	a few hundred bytes), readdir requires a result buffer and so on. Perl
		1022	scalars and other data passed into aio requests will also be locked and
		1023	will consume memory till the request has entered the done state.
		1024
		1025	This is now awfully much, so queuing lots of requests is not usually a
		1026	problem.
		1027
		1028	Per-thread usage:
		1029
		1030	In the execution phase, some aio requests require more memory for
		1031	temporary buffers, and each thread requires a stack and other data
		1032	structures (usually around 16k-128k, depending on the OS).
		1033
		1034	=head1 KNOWN BUGS
		1035
		1036	Known bugs will be fixed in the next release.
