2405=item $fh = IO::AIO::accept4 $r_fh, $sockaddr, $sockaddr_maxlen, $flags
2406
2407Uses the GNU/Linux C<accept4(2)> syscall, if available, to accept a socket
2408and return the new file handle on success, or sets C<$!> and returns
2409C<undef> on error.
2410
2411The remote name of the new socket will be stored in C<$sockaddr>, which
2412will be extended to allow for at least C<$sockaddr_maxlen> octets. If the
2413socket name does not fit into C<$sockaddr_maxlen> octets, this is signaled
2414by returning a longer string in C<$sockaddr>, which might or might not be
2415truncated.
2416
2417To accept name-less sockets, use C<undef> for C<$sockaddr> and C<0> for
2418C<$sockaddr_maxlen>.
2419
2420The main reasons to use this syscall rather than portable C<accept(2)>
2421are that you can specify C<SOCK_NONBLOCK> and/or C<SOCK_CLOEXEC>
2422flags and you can accept name-less sockets by specifying C<0> for
2423C<$sockaddr_maxlen>, which is sadly not possible with perl's interface to
2424C<accept>.

2480This is a direct interface to the Linux L<memfd_create(2)> system
2481call. The (unhelpful) default for C<$flags> is C<0>, but your default
2482should be C<IO::AIO::MFD_CLOEXEC>.
2483
2484On success, the new memfd filehandle is returned, otherwise returns
2485C<undef>. If the memfd_create syscall is missing, fails with C<ENOSYS>.
2486
2487Please refer to L<memfd_create(2)> for more info on this call.

2489The following C<$flags> values are available: C<IO::AIO::MFD_CLOEXEC>,

2491C<IO::AIO::MFD_HUGETLB_2MB> and C<IO::AIO::MFD_HUGETLB_1GB>.

2500This is an interface to the Linux L<pidfd_open(2)> system call. The
2501default for C<$flags> is C<0>.
2502
2503On success, a new pidfd filehandle is returned (that is already set to
2504close-on-exec), otherwise returns C<undef>. If the syscall is missing,
2505fails with C<ENOSYS>.

2516
2517Returns the system call status. If the syscall is missing, fails with
2518C<ENOSYS>.

2520When specified, C<$siginfo> must be a reference to a hash with one or more
2521of the following members:

2553as an integer) returned (that is already set to close-on-exec), otherwise
2554returns C<undef>. If the syscall is missing, fails with C<ENOSYS>.
