 =item IO::AIO::READDIR_FOUND_UNKNOWN

 is being set by C<aio_readdirx>, when any of the C<$type>'s found were
 =item IO::AIO::munmap $scalar
 Removes a previous mmap and undefines the C<$scalar>.
+=item IO::AIO::mremap $scalar, $new_length, $flags = 0[, $new_address = 0]
+Calls the Linux-specific mremap(2) system call. The C<$scalar> must have
+been mapped by C<IO::AIO::mmap>, and C<$flags> must currently either be
+C<0> or C<IO::AIO::MREMAP_MAYMOVE>.

+region has changed address, then the true value has the numerical value

+   }
+C<IO::AIO::MREMAP_FIXED> and the C<$new_address> argument are currently
+implemented, but not supported and might go away in a future version.
+On systems where this call is not supported or is not emulated, this call
+returns falls and sets C<$!> to C<ENOSYS>.
 =item IO::AIO::munlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef
 Calls the C<munlock> function, undoing the effects of a previous
 C<aio_mlock> call (see its description for details).
 Example: create a pipe race-free w.r.t. threads and fork:
    my ($rfh, $wfh) = IO::AIO::pipe2 IO::AIO::O_CLOEXEC
       or die "pipe2: $!\n";
-=item $fh = IO::AIO::eventfd ([$initval, [$flags]])
+=item $fh = IO::AIO::eventfd [$initval, [$flags]]
 This is a direct interface to the Linux L<eventfd(2)> system call. The
 (unhelpful) defaults for C<$initval> and C<$flags> are C<0> for both.
 On success, the new eventfd filehandle is returned, otherwise returns
 Please refer to L<eventfd(2)> for more info on this call.
 The following symbol flag values are available: C<IO::AIO::EFD_CLOEXEC>,
 C<IO::AIO::EFD_NONBLOCK> and C<IO::AIO::EFD_SEMAPHORE> (Linux 2.6.30).
+Example: create a new eventfd filehandle:
+   $fh = IO::AIO::eventfd 0, IO::AIO::O_CLOEXEC
+      or die "eventfd: $!\n";
+=item $fh = IO::AIO::timerfd_create $clockid[, $flags]
+This is a direct interface to the Linux L<timerfd_create(2)> system call. The
+(unhelpful) default for C<$flags> is C<0>.
+On success, the new timerfd filehandle is returned, otherwise returns
+C<undef>. If the eventfd syscall is missing, fails with C<ENOSYS>.
+Please refer to L<timerfd_create(2)> for more info on this call.
+The following C<$clockid> values are
+available: C<IO::AIO::CLOCK_REALTIME>, C<IO::AIO::CLOCK_MONOTONIC>
+C<IO::AIO::CLOCK_CLOCK_BOOTTIME> (Linux 3.15)
+C<IO::AIO::CLOCK_CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM> (Linux 3.11) and
+C<IO::AIO::CLOCK_CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM> (Linux 3.11).
+The following C<$flags> values are available (Linux
+2.6.27): C<IO::AIO::TFD_NONBLOCK> and C<IO::AIO::TFD_CLOEXEC>.
+Example: create a new timerfd and set it to one-second repeated alarms,
+then wait for two alarms:
+   my $fh = IO::AIO::timerfd_create IO::AIO::CLOCK_BOOTTIME, IO::AIO::TFD_CLOEXEC
+      or die "timerfd_create: $!\n";
+   defined IO::AIO::timerfd_settime $fh, 0, 1, 1
+      or die "timerfd_settime: $!\n";
+   for (1..2) {
+      8 == sysread $fh, my $buf, 8
+         or die "timerfd read failure\n";
+      printf "number of expirations (likely 1): %d\n",
+         unpack "Q", $buf;
+   }
+=item ($cur_interval, $cur_value) = IO::AIO::timerfd_settime $fh, $flags, $new_interval, $nbw_value
+This is a direct interface to the Linux L<timerfd_settime(2)> system
+call. Please refer to its manpage for more info on this call.
+The new itimerspec is specified using two (possibly fractional) second
+values, C<$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.
+=item ($cur_interval, $cur_value) = IO::AIO::timerfd_gettime $fh
+This is a direct interface to the Linux L<timerfd_gettime(2)> system
+call. Please refer to its manpage for more info on this call.
+On success, returns the current values of interval and value for the given
+timerfd (as potentially fractional second values). On failure, the empty
+list is returned.

 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.

 more natural syntax.
