|
1264 | These work just like the C<fcntl> and C<ioctl> built-in functions, except |
|
|
1265 | they execute asynchronously and pass the return value to the callback. |
|
|
1266 | |
|
|
1267 | Both calls can be used for a lot of things, some of which make more sense |
|
|
1268 | to run asynchronously in their own thread, while some others make less |
|
|
1269 | sense. For example, calls that block waiting for external events, such |
|
|
1270 | as locking, will also lock down an I/O thread while it is waiting, which |
|
|
1271 | can deadlock the whole I/O system. At the same time, there might be no |
|
|
1272 | alternative to using a thread to wait. |
|
|
1273 | |
|
|
1274 | So in general, you should only use these calls for things that do |
|
|
1275 | (filesystem) I/O, not for things that wait for other events (network, |
|
|
1276 | other processes), although if you are careful and know what you are doing, |

|
|
2251 | systems that lack the pipe2 syscall. On win32, this case invokes C<_pipe |
