		1218	scalars managed by the L<Sys::Mmap> or L<Mmap> modules, note that the
		1219	scalar must only be modified in-place while an aio operation is pending on

		1221
		1222	It calls the C<msync> function of your OS, if available, with the memory
		1223	area starting at C<$offset> in the string and ending C<$length> bytes
		1224	later. If C<$length> is negative, counts from the end, and if C<$length>
		1225	is C<undef>, then it goes till the end of the string. The flags can be

		1233
		1234	It touches (reads or writes) all memory pages in the specified
		1235	range inside the scalar. All caveats and parameters are the same
		1236	as for C<aio_msync>, above, except for flags, which must be either
		1237	C<0> (which reads all pages and ensures they are instantiated) or
		1238	C<IO::AIO::MT_MODIFY>, which modifies the memory page s(by reading and

		1243	This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which works best on mmap(2)ed

		1245
		1246	It reads in all the pages of the underlying storage into memory (if any)
		1247	and locks them, so they are not getting swapped/paged out or removed.
		1248
		1249	If C<$length> is undefined, then the scalar will be locked till the end.
		1250
		1251	On systems that do not implement C<mlock>, this function returns C<-1>
		1252	and sets errno to C<ENOSYS>.
		1253
		1254	Note that the corresponding C<munlock> is synchronous and is
		1255	documented under L<MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS>.

		1281
		1282	Queries the extents of the given file (by calling the Linux FIEMAP ioctl,
		1283	see L<http://cvs.schmorp.de/IO-AIO/doc/fiemap.txt> for details). If the
		1284	C<ioctl> is not available on your OS, then this request will fail with
		1285	C<ENOSYS>.
		1286
		1287	C<$start> is the starting offset to query extents for, C<$length> is the
		1288	size of the range to query - if it is C<undef>, then the whole file will
		1289	be queried.
		1290
		1291	C<$flags> is a combination of flags (C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC> or
		1292	C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAG_XATTR> - C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAGS_COMPAT> is also
		1293	exported), and is normally C<0> or C<IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC> to query
		1294	the data portion.
		1295
		1296	C<$count> is the maximum number of extent records to return. If it is
		1297	C<undef>, then IO::AIO queries all extents of the file. As a very special
		1298	case, if it is C<0>, then the callback receives the number of extents
		1299	instead of the extents themselves.
		1300
		1301	If an error occurs, the callback receives no arguments. The special
		1302	C<errno> value C<IO::AIO::EBADR> is available to test for flag errors.
		1303
		1304	Otherwise, the callback receives an array reference with extent
		1305	structures. Each extent structure is an array reference itself, with the
		1306	following members:
		1307
		1308	[$logical, $physical, $length, $flags]
		1309
		1310	Flags is any combination of the following flag values (typically either C<0>

		1367	=head2 IO::AIO::WD - multiple working directories
		1368
		1369	Your process only has one current working directory, which is used by all
		1370	threads. This makes it hard to use relative paths (some other component
		1371	could call C<chdir> at any time, and it is hard to control when the path
		1372	will be used by IO::AIO).
		1373
		1374	One solution for this is to always use absolute paths. This usually works,
		1375	but can be quite slow (the kernel has to walk the whole path on every
		1376	access), and can also be a hassle to implement.
		1377
		1378	Newer POSIX systems have a number of functions (openat, fdopendir,
		1379	futimensat and so on) that make it possible to specify working directories
		1380	per operation.
		1381
		1382	For portability, and because the clowns who "designed", or shall I write,
		1383	perpetrated this new interface were obviously half-drunk, this abstraction
		1384	cannot be perfect, though.
		1385
		1386	IO::AIO allows you to convert directory paths into a so-called IO::AIO::WD
		1387	object. This object stores the canonicalised, absolute version of the
		1388	path, and on systems that allow it, also a directory file descriptor.
		1389
		1390	Everywhere where a pathname is accepted by IO::AIO (e.g. in C<aio_stat>
		1391	or C<aio_unlink>), one can specify an array reference with an IO::AIO::WD
		1392	object and a pathname instead (or the IO::AIO::WD object alone, which
		1393	gets interpreted as C<[$wd, "."]>). If the pathname is absolute, the
		1394	IO::AIO::WD object is ignored, otherwise the pathname is resolved relative
		1395	to that IO::AIO::WD object.
		1396
		1397	For example, to get a wd object for F</etc> and then stat F<passwd>
		1398	inside, you would write:
		1399
		1400	aio_wd "/etc", sub {
		1401	my $etcdir = shift;
		1402
		1403	# although $etcdir can be undef on error, there is generally no reason
		1404	# to check for errors here, as aio_stat will fail with ENOENT
		1405	# when $etcdir is undef.
		1406
		1407	aio_stat [$etcdir, "passwd"], sub {
		1408	# yay
		1409	};
		1410	};
		1411
		1412	That C<aio_wd> is a request and not a normal function shows that creating
		1413	an IO::AIO::WD object is itself a potentially blocking operation, which is
		1414	why it is done asynchronously.
		1415
		1416	To stat the directory obtained with C<aio_wd> above, one could write
		1417	either of the following three request calls:
		1418
		1419	aio_lstat "/etc" , sub { ... # pathname as normal string
		1420	aio_lstat [$wd, "."], sub { ... # "." relative to $wd (i.e. $wd itself)
		1421	aio_lstat $wd , sub { ... # shorthand for the previous
		1422
		1423	As with normal pathnames, IO::AIO keeps a copy of the working directory
		1424	object and the pathname string, so you could write the following without
		1425	causing any issues due to C<$path> getting reused:
		1426
		1427	my $path = [$wd, undef];
		1428
		1429	for my $name (qw(abc def ghi)) {
		1430	$path->[1] = $name;
		1431	aio_stat $path, sub {
		1432	# ...
		1433	};
		1434	}
		1435
		1436	There are some caveats: when directories get renamed (or deleted), the
		1437	pathname string doesn't change, so will point to the new directory (or
		1438	nowhere at all), while the directory fd, if available on the system,
		1439	will still point to the original directory. Most functions accepting a
		1440	pathname will use the directory fd on newer systems, and the string on
		1441	older systems. Some functions (such as realpath) will always rely on the
		1442	string form of the pathname.
		1443
		1444	So this fucntionality is mainly useful to get some protection against
		1445	C<chdir>, to easily get an absolute path out of a relative path for future
		1446	reference, and to speed up doing many operations in the same directory
		1447	(e.g. when stat'ing all files in a directory).
		1448
		1449	The following functions implement this working directory abstraction:
		1450
		1451	=over 4
		1452
		1453	=item aio_wd $pathname, $callback->($wd)
		1454
		1455	Asynchonously canonicalise the given pathname and convert it to an
		1456	IO::AIO::WD object representing it. If possible and supported on the
		1457	system, also open a directory fd to speed up pathname resolution relative
		1458	to this working directory.
		1459
		1460	If something goes wrong, then C<undef> is passwd to the callback instead
		1461	of a working directory object and C<$!> is set appropriately. Since
		1462	passing C<undef> as working directory component of a pathname fails the
		1463	request with C<ENOENT>, there is often no need for error checking in the
		1464	C<aio_wd> callback, as future requests using the value will fail in the
		1465	expected way.
		1466
		1467	If this call isn't available because your OS lacks it or it couldn't be
		1468	detected, it will be emulated by calling C<fsync> instead.
		1469
		1470	=item IO::AIO::CWD
		1471
		1472	This is a compiletime constant (object) that represents the process
		1473	current working directory.
		1474
		1475	Specifying this object as working directory object for a pathname is as
		1476	if the pathname would be specified directly, without a directory object,
		1477	e.g., these calls are functionally identical:
		1478
		1479	aio_stat "somefile", sub { ... };
		1480	aio_stat [IO::AIO::CWD, "somefile"], sub { ... };

		1885
		1886	=over 4
		1887
		1888	=item IO::AIO::sendfile $ofh, $ifh, $offset, $count
		1889
		1890	Calls the C<eio_sendfile_sync> function, which is like C<aio_sendfile>,
		1891	but is blocking (this makes most sense if you know the input data is
		1892	likely cached already and the output filehandle is set to non-blocking
		1893	operations).
		1894
		1895	Returns the number of bytes copied, or C<-1> on error.
		1896
		1897	=item IO::AIO::fadvise $fh, $offset, $len, $advice
		1898
		1899	Simply calls the C<posix_fadvise> function (see its
		1900	manpage for details). The following advice constants are
		1901	available: C<IO::AIO::FADV_NORMAL>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_SEQUENTIAL>,
		1902	C<IO::AIO::FADV_RANDOM>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_NOREUSE>,
		1903	C<IO::AIO::FADV_WILLNEED>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_DONTNEED>.
		1904
		1905	On systems that do not implement C<posix_fadvise>, this function returns
		1906	ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<posix_fadvise>.
		1907
		1908	=item IO::AIO::madvise $scalar, $offset, $len, $advice
		1909
		1910	Simply calls the C<posix_madvise> function (see its
		1911	manpage for details). The following advice constants are
		1912	available: C<IO::AIO::MADV_NORMAL>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_SEQUENTIAL>,
		1913	C<IO::AIO::MADV_RANDOM>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_WILLNEED>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_DONTNEED>.
		1914
		1915	On systems that do not implement C<posix_madvise>, this function returns
		1916	ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<posix_madvise>.
		1917
		1918	=item IO::AIO::mprotect $scalar, $offset, $len, $protect
		1919
		1920	Simply calls the C<mprotect> function on the preferably AIO::mmap'ed
		1921	$scalar (see its manpage for details). The following protect
		1922	constants are available: C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ>,
		1923	C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>.
		1924
		1925	On systems that do not implement C<mprotect>, this function returns
		1926	ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<mprotect>.
		1927
		1928	=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
		1929
		1930	Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
		1931	given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar. Returns true on
		1932	success, and false otherwise.
		1933
		1934	The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
		1935	change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
		1936	or searching it with regexes and so on.
		1937
		1938	Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
		1939
		1940	The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
		1941	when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
		1942	C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
		1943
		1944	This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
		1945	page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
		1946
		1947	The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
		1948	filesize.
		1949
		1950	C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
		1951	C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
		1952
		1953	C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or
		1954	C<IO::AIO::MAP_PRIVATE>, or a number of system-specific flags (when
		1955	not available, the are defined as 0): C<IO::AIO::MAP_ANONYMOUS>
		1956	(which is set to C<MAP_ANON> if your system only provides this
		1957	constant), C<IO::AIO::MAP_HUGETLB>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_LOCKED>,
		1958	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NORESERVE>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_POPULATE> or
		1959	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NONBLOCK>
		1960
		1961	If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
		1962
		1963	C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
		1964	a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
		1965
		1966	Example:
		1967
		1968	use Digest::MD5;
		1969	use IO::AIO;
		1970
		1971	open my $fh, "<verybigfile"

		1975	or die "verybigfile: $!";
		1976
		1977	my $fast_md5 = md5 $data;
		1978
		1979	=item IO::AIO::munmap $scalar
		1980
		1981	Removes a previous mmap and undefines the C<$scalar>.
		1982
		1983	=item IO::AIO::munlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef
		1984
		1985	Calls the C<munlock> function, undoing the effects of a previous
		1986	C<aio_mlock> call (see its description for details).
		1987
		1988	=item IO::AIO::munlockall
		1989
		1990	Calls the C<munlockall> function.
		1991
		1992	On systems that do not implement C<munlockall>, this function returns
		1993	ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<munlockall>.
		1994
		1995	=item IO::AIO::splice $r_fh, $r_off, $w_fh, $w_off, $length, $flags
		1996
		1997	Calls the GNU/Linux C<splice(2)> syscall, if available. If C<$r_off> or
		1998	C<$w_off> are C<undef>, then C<NULL> is passed for these, otherwise they
		1999	should be the file offset.
		2000
		2001	C<$r_fh> and C<$w_fh> should not refer to the same file, as splice might
		2002	silently corrupt the data in this case.
		2003
		2004	The following symbol flag values are available: C<IO::AIO::SPLICE_F_MOVE>,
		2005	C<IO::AIO::SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK>, C<IO::AIO::SPLICE_F_MORE> and
		2006	C<IO::AIO::SPLICE_F_GIFT>.
		2007

		2009
		2010	=item IO::AIO::tee $r_fh, $w_fh, $length, $flags

		2031	use AnyEvent::AIO;
		2032

1276	This module should do "the right thing" when the process using it forks:	2058	Usage of pthreads in a program changes the semantics of fork
		2059	considerably. Specifically, only async-safe functions can be called after
		2060	fork. Perl doesn't know about this, so in general, you cannot call fork
		2061	with defined behaviour in perl if pthreads are involved. IO::AIO uses
		2062	pthreads, so this applies, but many other extensions and (for inexplicable
		2063	reasons) perl itself often is linked against pthreads, so this limitation
		2064	applies to quite a lot of perls.
1277		2065
1278	Before the fork, IO::AIO enters a quiescent state where no requests	2066	This module no longer tries to fight your OS, or POSIX. That means IO::AIO
1279	can be added in other threads and no results will be processed. After	2067	only works in the process that loaded it. Forking is fully supported, but
