		1433	C<$count> is the maximum number of extent records to return. If it is

		2178
		2179	Attempts to query or change the pipe buffer size. Obviously works only

		2185
		2186	This is a direct interface to the Linux L<pipe2(2)> system call. If
		2187	C<$flags> is missing or C<0>, then this should be the same as a call to
		2188	perl's built-in C<pipe> function and create a new pipe, and works on
		2189	systems that lack the pipe2 syscall. On win32, this case invokes C<_pipe
		2190	(..., 4096, O_BINARY)>.
		2191
		2192	If C<$flags> is non-zero, it tries to invoke the pipe2 system call with
		2193	the given flags (Linux 2.6.27, glibc 2.9).
		2194
		2195	On success, the read and write file handles are returned.
		2196
		2197	On error, nothing will be returned. If the pipe2 syscall is missing and
		2198	C<$flags> is non-zero, fails with C<ENOSYS>.
		2199
		2200	Please refer to L<pipe2(2)> for more info on the C<$flags>, but at the
		2201	time of this writing, C<IO::AIO::O_CLOEXEC>, C<IO::AIO::O_NONBLOCK> and
		2202	C<IO::AIO::O_DIRECT> (Linux 3.4, for packet-based pipes) were supported.
