|
|
1261 | These work just like the C<fcntl> and C<ioctl> built-in functions, except |
|
|
1262 | they execute asynchronously and pass the return value to the callback. |
|
|
1263 | |
|
|
1264 | Both calls can be used for a lot of things, some of which make more sense |
|
|
1265 | to run asynchronously in their own thread, while some others make less |
|
|
1266 | sense. For example, calls that block waiting for external events, such |
|
|
1267 | as locking, will also lock down an I/O thread while it is waiting, which |
|
|
1268 | can deadlock the whole I/O system. At the same time, there might be no |
|
|
1269 | alternative to using a thread to wait. |
|
|
1270 | |
|
|
1271 | So in general, you should only use these calls for things that do |
|
|
1272 | (filesystem) I/O, not for things that wait for other events (network, |
|
|
1273 | other processes), although if you are careful and know what you are doing, |
|
|
1274 | you still can. |

|
2225 | This is a direct interface to the Linux L<pipe2(2)> system call. If |
|
|
2226 | C<$flags> is missing or C<0>, then this should be the same as a call to |
|
|
2227 | perl's built-in C<pipe> function and create a new pipe, and works on |
|
|
2228 | systems that lack the pipe2 syscall. On win32, this case invokes C<_pipe |
|
|
2229 | (..., 4096, O_BINARY)>. |
|
|
2230 | |
|
|
2231 | If C<$flags> is non-zero, it tries to invoke the pipe2 system call with |
|
|
2232 | the given flags (Linux 2.6.27, glibc 2.9). |
|
|
2233 | |
|
|
2234 | On success, the read and write file handles are returned. |
|
|
2235 | |
|
|
2236 | On error, nothing will be returned. If the pipe2 syscall is missing and |
|
|
2237 | C<$flags> is non-zero, fails with C<ENOSYS>. |
|
|
2238 | |
|
|
2239 | Please refer to L<pipe2(2)> for more info on the C<$flags>, but at the |
|
|
2240 | time of this writing, C<IO::AIO::O_CLOEXEC>, C<IO::AIO::O_NONBLOCK> and |
|
|
2241 | C<IO::AIO::O_DIRECT> (Linux 3.4, for packet-based pipes) were supported. |
