		2156	=item $actual_size = IO::AIO::pipesize $r_fh[, $new_size]
		2157
		2158	Attempts to query or change the pipe buffer size. Obviously works only
		2159	on pipes, and currently works only on GNU/Linux systems, and fails with
		2160	C<-1>/C<ENOSYS> everywhere else. If anybody knows how to influence pipe buffer
		2161	size on other systems, drop me a note.

		2163	=item ($rfh, $wfh) = IO::AIO::pipe2 [$flags]
		2164
		2165	This is a direct interface to the Linux L<pipe2(2)> system call. If
		2166	C<$flags> is missing or C<0>, then this should be the same as a call to
		2167	perl's built-in C<pipe> function and create a new pipe, and works on
		2168	systems that lack the pipe2 syscall. On win32, this case invokes C<_pipe
		2169	(..., 4096, O_BINARY)>.
		2170
		2171	If C<$flags> is non-zero, it tries to invoke the pipe2 system call with
		2172	the given flags (Linux 2.6.27, glibc 2.9).
		2173
		2174	On success, the read and write file handles are returned.
		2175
		2176	On error, nothing will be returned. If the pipe2 syscall is missing and
		2177	C<$flags> is non-zero, fails with C<ENOSYS>.
		2178
		2179	Please refer to L<pipe2(2)> for more info on the C<$flags>, but at the
		2180	time of this writing, C<IO::AIO::O_CLOEXEC>, C<IO::AIO::O_NONBLOCK> and
		2181	C<IO::AIO::O_DIRECT> (Linux 3.4, for packet-based pipes) were supported.
