2137=head3 SUBSECOND STAT TIME ACCESS
2138
2139Both C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> and perl's C<stat>/C<lstat> functions can
2140generally find access/modification and change times with subsecond time
2141accuracy of the system supports it, but perl's built-in functions only
2142return the integer part.
2143
2144The following functions return the timestamps of the most recent
2145stat with subsecond precision on most systems and work both after
2146C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> and perl's C<stat>/C<lstat> calls. Their return
2147value is only meaningful after a successful C<stat>/C<lstat> call, or
2148during/after a successful C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> callback.
2149
2150This is similar to the L<Time::HiRes> C<stat> functions, but can return
2151full resolution without rounding and work with standard perl C<stat>,
2152alleviating the need to call the special C<Time::HiRes> functions, which
2153do not act like their perl counterparts.
2154
2155On operating systems or file systems where subsecond time resolution is
2156not supported or could not be detected, a fractional part of C<0> is
2157returned, so it is always safe to call these functions.

2160
2161=item $seconds = IO::AIO::st_atime, IO::AIO::st_mtime, IO::AIO::st_ctime, IO::AIO::st_btime
2162
2163Return the access, modication, change or birth time, respectively,
2164including fractional part. Due to the limited precision of floating point,
2165the accuracy on most platforms is only a bit better than milliseconds
2166for times around now - see the I<nsec> function family, below, for full
2167accuracy.
2168
2169File birth time is only available when the OS and perl support it (on
2170FreeBSD and NetBSD at the time of this writing, although support is
2171adaptive, so if your OS/perl gains support, IO::AIO can take advantage of
2172it). On systems where it isn't available, C<0> is currently returned, but
2173this might change to C<undef> in a future version.
2174
2175=item ($atime, $mtime, $ctime, $btime, ...) = IO::AIO::st_xtime
2176
2177Returns access, modification, change and birth time all in one go, and
2178maybe more times in the future version.
2179
2180=item $nanoseconds = IO::AIO::st_atimensec, IO::AIO::st_mtimensec, IO::AIO::st_ctimensec, IO::AIO::st_btimensec
2181
2182Return the fractional access, modifcation, change or birth time, in nanoseconds,
2183as an integer in the range C<0> to C<999999999>.
2184
2185Note that no accessors are provided for access, modification and
2186change times - you need to get those from C<stat _> if required (C<int
2187IO::AIO::st_atime> and so on will I<not> generally give you the correct
2188value).
2189
2190=item $seconds = IO::AIO::st_btimesec
2191
2192The (integral) seconds part of the file birth time, if available.
2193
2194=item ($atime, $mtime, $ctime, $btime, ...) = IO::AIO::st_xtimensec
2195
2196Like the functions above, but returns all four times in one go (and maybe
2197more in future versions).
2198
2199=item $counter = IO::AIO::st_gen
2200
2201Returns the generation counter (in practice this is just a random number)
2202of the file. This is only available on platforms which have this member in
2203their C<struct stat> (most BSDs at the time of this writing) and generally
2204only to the root usert. If unsupported, C<0> is returned, but this might
2205change to C<undef> in a future version.

2452=item $fh = IO::AIO::accept4 $r_fh, $sockaddr, $sockaddr_maxlen, $flags
2453
2454Uses the GNU/Linux C<accept4(2)> syscall, if available, to accept a socket
2455and return the new file handle on success, or sets C<$!> and returns
2456C<undef> on error.
2457
2458The remote name of the new socket will be stored in C<$sockaddr>, which
2459will be extended to allow for at least C<$sockaddr_maxlen> octets. If the
2460socket name does not fit into C<$sockaddr_maxlen> octets, this is signaled
2461by returning a longer string in C<$sockaddr>, which might or might not be
2462truncated.
2463
2464To accept name-less sockets, use C<undef> for C<$sockaddr> and C<0> for
2465C<$sockaddr_maxlen>.
2466
2467The main reasons to use this syscall rather than portable C<accept(2)>
2468are that you can specify C<SOCK_NONBLOCK> and/or C<SOCK_CLOEXEC>
2469flags and you can accept name-less sockets by specifying C<0> for
2470C<$sockaddr_maxlen>, which is sadly not possible with perl's interface to
2471C<accept>.

2528call. The (unhelpful) default for C<$flags> is C<0>, but your default
2529should be C<IO::AIO::MFD_CLOEXEC>.
2530
2531On success, the new memfd filehandle is returned, otherwise returns
2532C<undef>. If the memfd_create syscall is missing, fails with C<ENOSYS>.

2765
2766When a call is documented as "linux-specific" then this means it
2767originated on GNU/Linux. C<IO::AIO> will usually try to autodetect the
2768availability and compatibility of such calls regardless of the platform
2769it is compiled on, so platforms such as FreeBSD which often implement
2770these calls will work. When in doubt, call them and see if they fail wth
2771C<ENOSYS>.

2797
2798Calls that try to "import" foreign memory areas (such as C<IO::AIO::mmap>
2799or C<IO::AIO::aio_slurp>) do not work with generic lvalues, such as
2800non-created hash slots or other scalars I didn't think of. It's best to
2801avoid such and either use scalar variables or making sure that the scalar
2802exists (e.g. by storing C<undef>) and isn't "funny" (e.g. tied).
2803
2804I am not sure anything can be done about this, so this is considered a
2805known issue, rather than a bug.
