420=item aio_seek $fh, $offset, $whence, $callback->($offs)
421
422Seeks the filehandle to the new C<$offset>, similarly to perl's
423C<sysseek>. The C<$whence> can use the traditional values (C<0> for
424C<IO::AIO::SEEK_SET>, C<1> for C<IO::AIO::SEEK_CUR> or C<2> for
425C<IO::AIO::SEEK_END>).
426
427The resulting absolute offset will be passed to the callback, or C<-1> in
428case of an error.
429
430In theory, the C<$whence> constants could be different than the
431corresponding values from L<Fcntl>, but perl guarantees they are the same,
432so don't panic.
433
434As a GNU/Linux (and maybe Solaris) extension, also the constants
435C<IO::AIO::SEEK_DATA> and C<IO::AIO::SEEK_HOLE> are available, if they
436could be found. No guarantees about suitability for use in C<aio_seek> or
437Perl's C<sysseek> can be made though, although I would naively assume they
438"just work".

654The file system block size used by C<fallocate> is presumably the
655C<f_bsize> returned by C<statvfs>.

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

1995=item IO::AIO::splice $r_fh, $r_off, $w_fh, $w_off, $length, $flags
1996
1997Calls the GNU/Linux C<splice(2)> syscall, if available. If C<$r_off> or
1998C<$w_off> are C<undef>, then C<NULL> is passed for these, otherwise they
1999should be the file offset.
2000
2001C<$r_fh> and C<$w_fh> should not refer to the same file, as splice might
2002silently corrupt the data in this case.
2003
2004The following symbol flag values are available: C<IO::AIO::SPLICE_F_MOVE>,
2005C<IO::AIO::SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK>, C<IO::AIO::SPLICE_F_MORE> and
2006C<IO::AIO::SPLICE_F_GIFT>.

2070You might get around by not I<using> IO::AIO before (or after)
2071forking. You could also try to call the L<IO::AIO::reinit> function in the

2076=item IO::AIO::reinit

2078Abandons all current requests and I/O threads and simply reinitialises all
2079data structures. This is not an operation supported by any standards, but
2080happens to work on GNU/Linux and some newer BSD systems.
2081
2082The only reasonable use for this function is to call it after forking, if
2083C<IO::AIO> was used in the parent. Calling it while IO::AIO is active in
2084the process will result in undefined behaviour. Calling it at any time
2085will also result in any undefined (by POSIX) behaviour.
