+Opens, reads and closes the given file. The data is put into C<$data>,

+C<$length> results in a performance advantage.
+This request is similar to the older C<aio_load> request, but since it is

+=head3 SUBSECOND STAT TIME ACCESS
+Both C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> and perl's C<stat>/C<lstat> functions can
+generally find access/modification and change times with subsecond time
+accuracy of the system supports it, but perl's built-in functions only
+return the integer part.
+The following functions return the timestamps of the most recent
+stat with subsecond precision on most systems and work both after
+C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> and perl's C<stat>/C<lstat> calls. Their return
+value is only meaningful after a successful C<stat>/C<lstat> call, or
+during/after a successful C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> callback.
+This is similar to the L<Time::HiRes> C<stat> functions, but can return
+full resolution without rounding and work with standard perl C<stat>,
+alleviating the need to call the special C<Time::HiRes> functions, which
+do not act like their perl counterparts.
+On operating systems or file systems where subsecond time resolution is
+not supported or could not be detected, a fractional part of C<0> is
+returned, so it is always safe to call these functions.
+=over 4

+Return the access, modication, change or birth time, respectively,
+including fractional part. Due to the limited precision of floating point,
+the accuracy on most platforms is only a bit better than milliseconds
+for times around now - see the I<nsec> function family, below, for full
+accuracy.
+File birth time is only available when the OS and perl support it (on
+FreeBSD and NetBSD at the time of this writing, although support is
+adaptive, so if your OS/perl gains support, IO::AIO can take avdantage of
+it). On systems where it isn't available, C<0> is currently returned, but
+this might change to C<undef> in a future version.

+as an integer in the range C<0> to C<999999999>.
+Note that no accessors are provided for access, modification and
+change times - you need to get those from C<stat _> if required (C<int
+IO::AIO::st_atime> and so on will I<not> generally give you the correct

+Returns the generation counter (in practice this is just a random number)
+of the file. This is only available on platforms which have this member in

+Calls the C<eio_mlockall_sync> function, which is like C<aio_mlockall>,

 Calls the C<munlock> function, undoing the effects of a previous
 C<aio_mlock> call (see its description for details).

 Please refer to L<pipe2(2)> for more info on the C<$flags>, but at the
 time of this writing, C<IO::AIO::O_CLOEXEC>, C<IO::AIO::O_NONBLOCK> and
 C<IO::AIO::O_DIRECT> (Linux 3.4, for packet-based pipes) were supported.

+The new itimerspec is specified using two (possibly fractional) second
+values, C<$new_interval> and C<$new_value>).
+On success, the current interval and value are returned (as per
+C<timerfd_gettime>). On failure, the empty list is returned.
+The following C<$flags> values are
+available: C<IO::AIO::TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME> and
+C<IO::AIO::TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET>.
+See C<IO::AIO::timerfd_create> for a full example.

 the process will result in undefined behaviour. Calling it at any time
 will also result in any undefined (by POSIX) behaviour.

+=head2 LINUX-SPECIFIC CALLS
+When a call is documented as "linux-specific" then this means it
+originated on GNU/Linux. C<IO::AIO> will usually try to autodetect the
+availability and compatibility of such calls regardless of the platform
+it is compiled on, so platforms such as FreeBSD which often implement
+these calls will work. When in doubt, call them and see if they fail wth
+C<ENOSYS>.
 =head2 MEMORY USAGE
 Per-request usage:
 Each aio request uses - depending on your architecture - around 100-200
 temporary buffers, and each thread requires a stack and other data
 structures (usually around 16k-128k, depending on the OS).
 =head1 KNOWN BUGS
-Known bugs will be fixed in the next release.
+Known bugs will be fixed in the next release :)
+=head1 KNOWN ISSUES
+Calls that try to "import" foreign memory areas (such as C<IO::AIO::mmap>
+or C<IO::AIO::aio_slurp>) do not work with generic lvalues, such as
+non-created hash slots or other scalars I didn't think of. It's best to
+avoid such and either use scalar variables or making sure that the scalar
+exists (e.g. by storing C<undef>) and isn't "funny" (e.g. tied).
+I am not sure anything can be done about this, so this is considered a
+known issue, rather than a bug.
