2142=head3 SUBSECOND STAT TIME ACCESS
2143
2144Both C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> and perl's C<stat>/C<lstat> functions can
2145generally find access/modification and change times with subsecond time
2146accuracy of the system supports it, but perl's built-in functions only
2147return the integer part.
2148
2149The following functions return the timestamps of the most recent
2150stat with subsecond precision on most systems and work both after
2151C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> and perl's C<stat>/C<lstat> calls. Their return
2152value is only meaningful after a successful C<stat>/C<lstat> call, or
2153during/after a successful C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> callback.
2154
2155This is similar to the L<Time::HiRes> C<stat> functions, but can return
2156full resolution without rounding and work with standard perl C<stat>,
2157alleviating the need to call the special C<Time::HiRes> functions, which
2158do not act like their perl counterparts.
2159
2160On operating systems or file systems where subsecond time resolution is
2161not supported or could not be detected, a fractional part of C<0> is
2162returned, so it is always safe to call these functions.

2165
2166=item $seconds = IO::AIO::st_atime, IO::AIO::st_mtime, IO::AIO::st_ctime, IO::AIO::st_btime
2167
2168Return the access, modication, change or birth time, respectively,
2169including fractional part. Due to the limited precision of floating point,
2170the accuracy on most platforms is only a bit better than milliseconds
2171for times around now - see the I<nsec> function family, below, for full
2172accuracy.
2173
2174File birth time is only available when the OS and perl support it (on
2175FreeBSD and NetBSD at the time of this writing, although support is
2176adaptive, so if your OS/perl gains support, IO::AIO can take advantage of
2177it). On systems where it isn't available, C<0> is currently returned, but
2178this might change to C<undef> in a future version.
2179
2180=item ($atime, $mtime, $ctime, $btime, ...) = IO::AIO::st_xtime
2181
2182Returns access, modification, change and birth time all in one go, and
2183maybe more times in the future version.
2184
2185=item $nanoseconds = IO::AIO::st_atimensec, IO::AIO::st_mtimensec, IO::AIO::st_ctimensec, IO::AIO::st_btimensec
2186
2187Return the fractional access, modifcation, change or birth time, in nanoseconds,
2188as an integer in the range C<0> to C<999999999>.
2189
2190Note that no accessors are provided for access, modification and
2191change times - you need to get those from C<stat _> if required (C<int
2192IO::AIO::st_atime> and so on will I<not> generally give you the correct
2193value).
2194
2195=item $seconds = IO::AIO::st_btimesec
2196
2197The (integral) seconds part of the file birth time, if available.
2198
2199=item ($atime, $mtime, $ctime, $btime, ...) = IO::AIO::st_xtimensec
2200
2201Like the functions above, but returns all four times in one go (and maybe
2202more in future versions).
2203
2204=item $counter = IO::AIO::st_gen
2205
2206Returns the generation counter (in practice this is just a random number)
2207of the file. This is only available on platforms which have this member in
2208their C<struct stat> (most BSDs at the time of this writing) and generally
2209only to the root usert. If unsupported, C<0> is returned, but this might
2210change to C<undef> in a future version.

2457=item $fh = IO::AIO::accept4 $r_fh, $sockaddr, $sockaddr_maxlen, $flags
2458
2459Uses the GNU/Linux C<accept4(2)> syscall, if available, to accept a socket
2460and return the new file handle on success, or sets C<$!> and returns
2461C<undef> on error.
2462
2463The remote name of the new socket will be stored in C<$sockaddr>, which
2464will be extended to allow for at least C<$sockaddr_maxlen> octets. If the
2465socket name does not fit into C<$sockaddr_maxlen> octets, this is signaled
2466by returning a longer string in C<$sockaddr>, which might or might not be
2467truncated.
2468
2469To accept name-less sockets, use C<undef> for C<$sockaddr> and C<0> for
2470C<$sockaddr_maxlen>.
2471
2472The main reasons to use this syscall rather than portable C<accept(2)>
2473are that you can specify C<SOCK_NONBLOCK> and/or C<SOCK_CLOEXEC>
2474flags and you can accept name-less sockets by specifying C<0> for
2475C<$sockaddr_maxlen>, which is sadly not possible with perl's interface to
2476C<accept>.

2769=head2 LINUX-SPECIFIC CALLS
2770
2771When a call is documented as "linux-specific" then this means it
2772originated on GNU/Linux. C<IO::AIO> will usually try to autodetect the
2773availability and compatibility of such calls regardless of the platform
2774it is compiled on, so platforms such as FreeBSD which often implement
2775these calls will work. When in doubt, call them and see if they fail wth
2776C<ENOSYS>.

2802
2803Calls that try to "import" foreign memory areas (such as C<IO::AIO::mmap>
2804or C<IO::AIO::aio_slurp>) do not work with generic lvalues, such as
2805non-created hash slots or other scalars I didn't think of. It's best to
2806avoid such and either use scalar variables or making sure that the scalar
2807exists (e.g. by storing C<undef>) and isn't "funny" (e.g. tied).
2808
2809I am not sure anything can be done about this, so this is considered a
2810known issue, rather than a bug.
