2120=head3 SUBSECOND STAT TIME ACCESS
2121
2122Both C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> and perl's C<stat>/C<lstat> functions can
2123generally find access/modification and change times with subsecond time
2124accuracy of the system supports it, but perl's built-in functions only
2125return the integer part.
2126
2127The following functions return the timestamps of the most recent
2128stat with subsecond precision on most systems and work both after
2129C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> and perl's C<stat>/C<lstat> calls. Their return
2130value is only meaningful after a successful C<stat>/C<lstat> call, or
2131during/after a successful C<aio_stat>/C<aio_lstat> callback.
2132
2133This is similar to the L<Time::HiRes> C<stat> functions, but can return
2134full resolution without rounding and work with standard perl C<stat>,
2135alleviating the need to call the special C<Time::HiRes> functions, which
2136do not act like their perl counterparts.
2137
2138On operating systems or file systems where subsecond time resolution is
2139not supported or could not be detected, a fractional part of C<0> is
2140returned, so it is always safe to call these functions.
2141

2143
2144=item $seconds = IO::AIO::st_atime, IO::AIO::st_mtime, IO::AIO::st_ctime, IO::AIO::st_btime
2145
2146Return the access, modication, change or birth time, respectively,
2147including fractional part. Due to the limited precision of floating point,
2148the accuracy on most platforms is only a bit better than milliseconds
2149for times around now - see the I<nsec> function family, below, for full
2150accuracy.
2151
2152File birth time is only available when the OS and perl support it (on
2153FreeBSD and NetBSD at the time of this writing, although support is
2154adaptive, so if your OS/perl gains support, IO::AIO can take advantage of
2155it). On systems where it isn't available, C<0> is currently returned, but
2156this might change to C<undef> in a future version.
2157
2158=item ($atime, $mtime, $ctime, $btime, ...) = IO::AIO::st_xtime
2159
2160Returns access, modification, change and birth time all in one go, and
2161maybe more times in the future version.
2162
2163=item $nanoseconds = IO::AIO::st_atimensec, IO::AIO::st_mtimensec, IO::AIO::st_ctimensec, IO::AIO::st_btimensec
2164
2165Return the fractional access, modifcation, change or birth time, in nanoseconds,
2166as an integer in the range C<0> to C<999999999>.
2167
2168Note that no accessors are provided for access, modification and
2169change times - you need to get those from C<stat _> if required (C<int
2170IO::AIO::st_atime> and so on will I<not> generally give you the correct
2171value).
2172
2173=item $seconds = IO::AIO::st_btimesec
2174
2175The (integral) seconds part of the file birth time, if available.
2176
2177=item ($atime, $mtime, $ctime, $btime, ...) = IO::AIO::st_xtimensec
2178
2179Like the functions above, but returns all four times in one go (and maybe
2180more in future versions).
2181
2182=item $counter = IO::AIO::st_gen
2183
2184Returns the generation counter (in practice this is just a random number)
2185of the file. This is only available on platforms which have this member in
2186their C<struct stat> (most BSDs at the time of this writing) and generally
2187only to the root usert. If unsupported, C<0> is returned, but this might
2188change to C<undef> in a future version.

2399=item $fh = IO::AIO::accept4 $r_fh, $sockaddr, $sockaddr_maxlen, $flags
2400
2401Uses the GNU/Linux C<accept4(2)> syscall, if available, to accept a socket
2402and return the new file handle on success, or sets C<$!> and returns
2403C<undef> on error.
2404
2405The remote name of the new socket will be stored in C<$sockaddr>, which
2406will be extended to allow for at least C<$sockaddr_maxlen> octets. If the
2407socket name does not fit into C<$sockaddr_maxlen> octets, this is signaled
2408by returning a longer string in C<$sockaddr>, which might or might not be
2409truncated.
2410
2411To accept name-less sockets, use C<undef> for C<$sockaddr> and C<0> for
2412C<$sockaddr_maxlen>.
2413
2414The main reasons to use this syscall rather than portable C<accept(2)>
2415are that you can specify C<SOCK_NONBLOCK> and/or C<SOCK_CLOEXEC>
2416flags and you can accept name-less sockets by specifying C<0> for
2417C<$sockaddr_maxlen>, which is sadly not possible with perl's interface to
2418C<accept>.

2630call. Please refer to its manpage for more info on this call.
2631
2632On success, returns the current values of interval and value for the given
2633timerfd (as potentially fractional second values). On failure, the empty
2634list is returned.

2710=head2 LINUX-SPECIFIC CALLS
2711
2712When a call is documented as "linux-specific" then this means it
2713originated on GNU/Linux. C<IO::AIO> will usually try to autodetect the
2714availability and compatibility of such calls regardless of the platform
2715it is compiled on, so platforms such as FreeBSD which often implement
2716these calls will work. When in doubt, call them and see if they fail wth
2717C<ENOSYS>.

2743
2744Calls that try to "import" foreign memory areas (such as C<IO::AIO::mmap>
2745or C<IO::AIO::aio_slurp>) do not work with generic lvalues, such as
2746non-created hash slots or other scalars I didn't think of. It's best to
2747avoid such and either use scalar variables or making sure that the scalar
2748exists (e.g. by storing C<undef>) and isn't "funny" (e.g. tied).
2749
2750I am not sure anything can be done about this, so this is considered a
2751known issue, rather than a bug.
