2115=head3 SUBSECOND STAT TIME ACCESS
2116
2117Both C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> and perl's C<stat>/C<lstat> functions can
2118generally find access/modification and change times with subsecond time
2119accuracy of the system supports it, but perl's built-in functions only
2120return the integer part.
2121
2122The following functions return the timestamps of the most recent
2123stat with subsecond precision on most systems and work both after
2124C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> and perl's C<stat>/C<lstat> calls. Their return
2125value is only meaningful after a successful C<stat>/C<lstat> call, or
2126during/after a successful C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> callback.
2127
2128This is similar to the L<Time::HiRes> C<stat> functions, but can return
2129full resolution without rounding and work with standard perl C<stat>,
2130alleviating the need to call the special C<Time::HiRes> functions, which
2131do not act like their perl counterparts.
2132
2133On operating systems or file systems where subsecond time resolution is
2134not supported or could not be detected, a fractional part of C<0> is
2135returned, so it is always safe to call these functions.

2138
2139=item $seconds = IO::AIO::st_atime, IO::AIO::st_mtime, IO::AIO::st_ctime, IO::AIO::st_btime
2140
2141Return the access, modication, change or birth time, respectively,
2142including fractional part. Due to the limited precision of floating point,
2143the accuracy on most platforms is only a bit better than milliseconds
2144for times around now - see the I<nsec> function family, below, for full
2145accuracy.
2146
2147File birth time is only available when the OS and perl support it (on
2148FreeBSD and NetBSD at the time of this writing, although support is
2149adaptive, so if your OS/perl gains support, IO::AIO can take advantage of
2150it). On systems where it isn't available, C<0> is currently returned, but
2151this might change to C<undef> in a future version.
2152
2153=item ($atime, $mtime, $ctime, $btime, ...) = IO::AIO::st_xtime
2154
2155Returns access, modification, change and birth time all in one go, and
2156maybe more times in the future version.
2157
2158=item $nanoseconds = IO::AIO::st_atimensec, IO::AIO::st_mtimensec, IO::AIO::st_ctimensec, IO::AIO::st_btimensec
2159
2160Return the fractional access, modifcation, change or birth time, in nanoseconds,
2161as an integer in the range C<0> to C<999999999>.
2162
2163Note that no accessors are provided for access, modification and
2164change times - you need to get those from C<stat _> if required (C<int
2165IO::AIO::st_atime> and so on will I<not> generally give you the correct
2166value).
2167
2168=item $seconds = IO::AIO::st_btimesec
2169
2170The (integral) seconds part of the file birth time, if available.
2171
2172=item ($atime, $mtime, $ctime, $btime, ...) = IO::AIO::st_xtimensec
2173
2174Like the functions above, but returns all four times in one go (and maybe
2175more in future versions).
2176
2177=item $counter = IO::AIO::st_gen
2178
2179Returns the generation counter (in practice this is just a random number)
2180of the file. This is only available on platforms which have this member in
2181their C<struct stat> (most BSDs at the time of this writing) and generally
2182only to the root usert. If unsupported, C<0> is returned, but this might
2183change to C<undef> in a future version.

2624
2625When a call is documented as "linux-specific" then this means it
2626originated on GNU/Linux. C<IO::AIO> will usually try to autodetect the
2627availability and compatibility of such calls regardless of the platform
2628it is compiled on, so platforms such as FreeBSD which often implement
2629these calls will work. When in doubt, call them and see if they fail wth

2657Calls that try to "import" foreign memory areas (such as C<IO::AIO::mmap>
2658or C<IO::AIO::aio_slurp>) do not work with generic lvalues, such as
2659non-created hash slots or other scalars I didn't think of. It's best to
2660avoid such and either use scalar variables or making sure that the scalar
2661exists (e.g. by storing C<undef>) and isn't "funny" (e.g. tied).
2662
2663I am not sure anything can be done about this, so this is considered a
2664known issue, rather than a bug.
