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>.

2474This is a direct interface to the Linux L<memfd_create(2)> system
2475call. The (unhelpful) default for C<$flags> is C<0>, but your default
2476should be C<IO::AIO::MFD_CLOEXEC>.
2477
2478On success, the new memfd filehandle is returned, otherwise returns
2479C<undef>. If the memfd_create syscall is missing, fails with C<ENOSYS>.
2480
2481Please refer to L<memfd_create(2)> for more info on this call.
2482
2483The following C<$flags> values are available: C<IO::AIO::MFD_CLOEXEC>,
2484C<IO::AIO::MFD_ALLOW_SEALING> and C<IO::AIO::MFD_HUGETLB>.

2492
2493This is an interface to the Linux L<pidfd_open(2)> system call. The
2494default for C<$flags> is C<0>.
2495
2496On success, a new pidfd filehandle is returned (that is already set to
2497close-on-exec), otherwise returns C<undef>. If the syscall is missing,
2498fails with C<ENOSYS>.
2499
2500Example: open pid 6341 as pidfd.

2508default for C<$siginfo> is C<undef> and the default for C<$flags> is C<0>.
