176
177Try to move the I<file> (directories not supported as either source or destination)
178from C<$srcpath> to C<$dstpath> and call the callback with the C<0> (error) or C<-1> ok.
179
180This is a composite request that tries to rename(2) the file first. If
181rename files with C<EXDEV>, it creates the destination file with mode 0200
182and copies the contents of the source file into it using C<aio_sendfile>,
183followed by restoring atime, mtime, access mode and uid/gid, in that
184order, and unlinking the C<$srcpath>.
185
186If an error occurs, the partial destination file will be unlinked, if
187possible, except when setting atime, mtime, access mode and uid/gid, where
188errors are being ignored.

238=item aio_sendfile $out_fh, $in_fh, $in_offset, $length, $callback->($retval)
239
240Tries to copy C<$length> bytes from C<$in_fh> to C<$out_fh>. It starts
241reading at byte offset C<$in_offset>, and starts writing at the current
242file offset of C<$out_fh>. Because of that, it is not safe to issue more
243than one C<aio_sendfile> per C<$out_fh>, as they will interfere with each
244other.
245
246This call tries to make use of a native C<sendfile> syscall to provide
247zero-copy operation. For this to work, C<$out_fh> should refer to a
248socket, and C<$in_fh> should refer to mmap'able file.
249
250If the native sendfile call fails or is not implemented, it will be
251emulated, so you can call C<aio_sendfile> on any type of filehandle
252regardless of the limitations of the operating system.
253
254Please note, however, that C<aio_sendfile> can read more bytes from
255C<$in_fh> than are written, and there is no way to find out how many
256bytes have been read from C<aio_sendfile> alone, as C<aio_sendfile> only
257provides the number of bytes written to C<$out_fh>. Only if the result
258value equals C<$length> one can assume that C<$length> bytes have been
259read.

155=item aio_readahead $fh,$offset,$length, $callback 261=item aio_readahead $fh,$offset,$length, $callback->($retval)
156
157Asynchronously reads the specified byte range into the page cache, using
158the C<readahead> syscall. If that syscall doesn't exist (likely if your OS
159isn't Linux) the status will be C<-1> and C<$!> is set to C<ENOSYS>.

162subsequent reads from that file will not block on disk I/O. The C<$offset> 264subsequent reads from that file will not block on disk I/O. The C<$offset>
163argument specifies the starting point from which data is to be read and 265argument specifies the starting point from which data is to be read and
164C<$length> specifies the number of bytes to be read. I/O is performed in 266C<$length> specifies the number of bytes to be read. I/O is performed in
165whole pages, so that offset is effectively rounded down to a page boundary 267whole pages, so that offset is effectively rounded down to a page boundary

272If that syscall doesn't exist (likely if your OS isn't Linux) it will be
273emulated by simply reading the data, which would have a similar effect.

321
322=item aio_readdir $pathname, $callback->($entries)
323
324Unlike the POSIX call of the same name, C<aio_readdir> reads an entire
325directory (i.e. opendir + readdir + closedir). The entries will not be
326sorted, and will B<NOT> include the C<.> and C<..> entries.

328The callback a single argument which is either C<undef> or an array-ref
329with the filenames.
330
331=item aio_scandir $path, $maxreq, $callback->($dirs, $nondirs)
332
333Scans a directory (similar to C<aio_readdir>) and tries to separate the
334entries of directory C<$path> into two sets of names, ones you can recurse
335into (directories), and ones you cannot recurse into (everything else).
336
337C<aio_scandir> is a composite request that consists of many
338aio-primitives. C<$maxreq> specifies the maximum number of outstanding
339aio requests that this function generates. If it is C<< <= 0 >>, then a
340suitable default will be chosen (currently 8).
341
342On error, the callback is called without arguments, otherwise it receives
343two array-refs with path-relative entry names.
344
345Example:
346
347 aio_scandir $dir, 0, sub {
348 my ($dirs, $nondirs) = @_;
349 print "real directories: @$dirs\n";
350 print "everything else: @$nondirs\n";
351 };
352
353Implementation notes.
354
355The C<aio_readdir> cannot be avoided, but C<stat()>'ing every entry can.
356
357After reading the directory, the modification time, size etc. of the
358directory before and after the readdir is checked, and if they match, the
359link count will be used to decide how many entries are directories (if
360>= 2). Otherwise, no knowledge of the number of subdirectories will be
361assumed.
362
363Then entires will be sorted into likely directories (everything without a
364non-initial dot) and likely non-directories (everything else). Then every
365entry + C</.> will be C<stat>'ed, likely directories first. This is often
366faster because filesystems might detect the type of the entry without
367reading the inode data (e.g. ext2fs filetype feature). If that succeeds,
368it assumes that the entry is a directory or a symlink to directory (which
369will be checked seperately).
370
371If the known number of directories has been reached, the rest of the
372entries is assumed to be non-directories.

616=head2 FORK BEHAVIOUR
617
618Before the fork, IO::AIO enters a quiescent state where no requests
619can be added in other threads and no results will be processed. After
620the fork the parent simply leaves the quiescent state and continues
621request/result processing, while the child clears the request/result
622queue (so the requests started before the fork will only be handled in
623the parent). Threats will be started on demand until the limit ste in the
624parent process has been reached again.
