2119=head3 SUBSECOND STAT TIME ACCESS
2120
2121Both C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> and perl's C<stat>/C<lstat> functions can
2122generally find access/modification and change times with subsecond time
2123accuracy of the system supports it, but perl's built-in functions only
2124return the integer part.
2125
2126The following functions return the timestamps of the most recent
2127stat with subsecond precision on most systems and work both after
2128C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> and perl's C<stat>/C<lstat> calls. Their return
2129value is only meaningful after a successful C<stat>/C<lstat> call, or
2130during/after a successful C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> callback.
2131
2132This is similar to the L<Time::HiRes> C<stat> functions, but can return
2133full resolution without rounding and work with standard perl C<stat>,
2134alleviating the need to call the special C<Time::HiRes> functions, which
2135do not act like their perl counterparts.
2136
2137On operating systems or file systems where subsecond time resolution is
2138not supported or could not be detected, a fractional part of C<0> is
2139returned, so it is always safe to call these functions.

2142
2143=item $seconds = IO::AIO::st_atime, IO::AIO::st_mtime, IO::AIO::st_ctime, IO::AIO::st_btime
2144
2145Return the access, modication, change or birth time, respectively,
2146including fractional part. Due to the limited precision of floating point,
2147the accuracy on most platforms is only a bit better than milliseconds
2148for times around now - see the I<nsec> function family, below, for full
2149accuracy.
2150
2151File birth time is only available when the OS and perl support it (on
2152FreeBSD and NetBSD at the time of this writing, although support is
2153adaptive, so if your OS/perl gains support, IO::AIO can take advantage of
2154it). On systems where it isn't available, C<0> is currently returned, but
2155this might change to C<undef> in a future version.
2156
2157=item ($atime, $mtime, $ctime, $btime, ...) = IO::AIO::st_xtime
2158
2159Returns access, modification, change and birth time all in one go, and
2160maybe more times in the future version.
2161
2162=item $nanoseconds = IO::AIO::st_atimensec, IO::AIO::st_mtimensec, IO::AIO::st_ctimensec, IO::AIO::st_btimensec
2163
2164Return the fractional access, modifcation, change or birth time, in nanoseconds,
2165as an integer in the range C<0> to C<999999999>.
2166
2167Note that no accessors are provided for access, modification and
2168change times - you need to get those from C<stat _> if required (C<int
2169IO::AIO::st_atime> and so on will I<not> generally give you the correct
2170value).
2171
2172=item $seconds = IO::AIO::st_btimesec
2173
2174The (integral) seconds part of the file birth time, if available.
2175
2176=item ($atime, $mtime, $ctime, $btime, ...) = IO::AIO::st_xtimensec
2177
2178Like the functions above, but returns all four times in one go (and maybe
2179more in future versions).
2180
2181=item $counter = IO::AIO::st_gen
2182
2183Returns the generation counter (in practice this is just a random number)
2184of the file. This is only available on platforms which have this member in
2185their C<struct stat> (most BSDs at the time of this writing) and generally
2186only to the root usert. If unsupported, C<0> is returned, but this might
2187change to C<undef> in a future version.
