2018=head3 SUBSECOND STAT TIME ACCESS
2019
2020Both C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> and perl's C<stat>/C<lstat> functions can
2021generally find access/modification and change times with subsecond time
2022accuracy of the system supports it, but perl's built-in functions only
2023return the integer part.
2024
2025The following functions return the timestamps of the most recent
2026stat with subsecond precision on most systems and work both after
2027C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> and perl's C<stat>/C<lstat> calls. Their return
2028value is only meaningful after a successful C<stat>/C<lstat> call, or
2029during/after a successful C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> callback.
2030
2031This is similar to the L<Time::HiRes> C<stat> functions, but can return
2032full resolution without rounding and work with standard perl C<stat>,
2033alleviating the need to call the special C<Time::HiRes> functions, which
2034do not act like their perl counterparts.
2035
2036On operating systems or file systems where subsecond time resolution is
2037not supported or could not be detected, a fractional part of C<0> is
2038returned, so it is always safe to call these functions.
2039
2040=over 4
2041
2042=item IO::AIO::stat_atime, IO::AIO::stat_mtime, IO::AIO::stat_ctime
2043
2044Return the access, modication or change time, respectively, including
2045fractional part. Due to the limited precision of floating point, the
2046accuracy on most platforms is only a bit better than milliseconds for
2047times around now - see the I<nsec> function family, below, for full
2048accuracy.
2049
2050=item ($atime, $mtime, $ctime, ...) = IO::AIO::stat_xtime
2051
2052Returns access, modification and change time all in one go, and maybe more
2053times in the future version.
2054
2055=item IO::AIO::stat_atimensec, IO::AIO::stat_mtimensec, IO::AIO::stat_ctimensec
2056
2057Return the fractional access, modifcation or change time, in nanoseconds,
2058as an integer in the range C<0> to C<999999999>.
2059
2060=back
2061
2062Example: print the high resolution modification time of F</etc>, using
2063C<stat>, and C<IO::AIO::aio_stat>.

2474
2475When a call is documented as "linux-specific" then this means it
2476originated on GNU/Linux. C<IO::AIO> will usually try to autodetect the
2477availability and compatibility of such calls regardless of the platform
2478it is compiled on, so platforms such as FreeBSD which often implement
2479these calls will work. When in doubt, call them and see if they fail wth

2506
2507Calls that try to "import" foreign memory areas (such as C<IO::AIO::mmap>
2508or C<IO::AIO::aio_slurp>) do not work with generic lvalues, such as
2509non-created hash slots or other scalars I didn't think of. It's best to
2510avoid such and either use scalar variables or making sure that the scalar
2511exists (e.g. by storing C<undef>) and isn't "funny" (e.g. tied).
2512
2513I am not sure anything can be done about this, so this is considered a
2514known issue, rather than a bug.
