 other processes), although if you are careful and know what you are doing,

 implemented, but not supported and might go away in a future version.
 On systems where this call is not supported or is not emulated, this call
 returns falls and sets C<$!> to C<ENOSYS>.
+=item IO::AIO::mlockall $flags
+Calls the C<eio_mlockall_sync> function, which is like C<aio_mlockall>,
+but is blocking.
 =item IO::AIO::munlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef
 Calls the C<munlock> function, undoing the effects of a previous
 C<aio_mlock> call (see its description for details).
 Calls the C<munlockall> function.
 On systems that do not implement C<munlockall>, this function returns
 ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<munlockall>.
+=item $fh = IO::AIO::accept4 $r_fh, $sockaddr, $sockaddr_maxlen, $flags
+Uses the GNU/Linux C<accept4(2)> syscall, if available, to accept a socket
+and return the new file handle on success, or sets C<$!> and returns
+C<undef> on error.
+The remote name of the new socket will be stored in C<$sockaddr>, which
+will be extended to allow for at least C<$sockaddr_maxlen> octets. If the
+socket name does not fit into C<$sockaddr_maxlen> octets, this is signaled
+by returning a longer string in C<$sockaddr>, which might or might not be
+truncated.
+To accept name-less sockets, use C<undef> for C<$sockaddr> and C<0> for
+C<$sockaddr_maxlen>.
+The main reasons to use this syscall rather than portable C<accept(2)>
+are that you can specify C<SOCK_NONBLOCK> and/or C<SOCK_CLOEXEC>
+flags and you can accept name-less sockets by specifying C<0> for
+C<$sockaddr_maxlen>, which is sadly not possible with perl's interface to
+C<accept>.
 =item IO::AIO::splice $r_fh, $r_off, $w_fh, $w_off, $length, $flags
 Calls the GNU/Linux C<splice(2)> syscall, if available. If C<$r_off> or
 C<$w_off> are C<undef>, then C<NULL> is passed for these, otherwise they
 Example: create a pipe race-free w.r.t. threads and fork:
    my ($rfh, $wfh) = IO::AIO::pipe2 IO::AIO::O_CLOEXEC
       or die "pipe2: $!\n";
+=item $fh = IO::AIO::memfd_create $pathname[, $flags]
+This is a direct interface to the Linux L<memfd_create(2)> system
+call. The (unhelpful) default for C<$flags> is C<0>, but your default
+should be C<IO::AIO::MFD_CLOEXEC>.
+On success, the new memfd filehandle is returned, otherwise returns
+C<undef>. If the memfd_create syscall is missing, fails with C<ENOSYS>.
+Please refer to L<memfd_create(2)> for more info on this call.
+The following C<$flags> values are available: C<IO::AIO::MFD_CLOEXEC>,
+C<IO::AIO::MFD_ALLOW_SEALING>, C<IO::AIO::MFD_HUGETLB>,
+C<IO::AIO::MFD_HUGETLB_2MB> and C<IO::AIO::MFD_HUGETLB_1GB>.
+Example: create a new memfd.
+   my $fh = IO::AIO::memfd_create "somenameforprocfd", IO::AIO::MFD_CLOEXEC
+      or die "memfd_create: $!\n";
+=item $fh = IO::AIO::pidfd_open $pid[, $flags]
+This is an interface to the Linux L<pidfd_open(2)> system call. The
+default for C<$flags> is C<0>.
+On success, a new pidfd filehandle is returned (that is already set to
+close-on-exec), otherwise returns C<undef>. If the syscall is missing,
+fails with C<ENOSYS>.
+Example: open pid 6341 as pidfd.
+   my $fh = IO::AIO::pidfd_open 6341
+      or die "pidfd_open: $!\n";
+=item $status = IO::AIO::pidfd_send_signal $pidfh, $signal[, $siginfo[, $flags]]
+This is an interface to the Linux L<pidfd_send_signal> system call. The
+default for C<$siginfo> is C<undef> and the default for C<$flags> is C<0>.
+Returns the system call status.  If the syscall is missing, fails with
+C<ENOSYS>.
+When specified, C<$siginfo> must be a reference to a hash with one or more
+of the following members:

+=item code - the C<si_code> member
+=item pid - the C<si_pid> member
+=item uid - the C<si_uid> member
+=item value_int - the C<si_value.sival_int> member

+Example: send a SIGKILL to the specified process.
+   my $status = IO::AIO::pidfd_send_signal $pidfh, 9, undef
+      and die "pidfd_send_signal: $!\n";
+Example: send a SIGKILL to the specified process with extra data.
+   my $status = IO::AIO::pidfd_send_signal $pidfh, 9,  { code => -1, value_int => 7 }
+      and die "pidfd_send_signal: $!\n";
+=item $fh = IO::AIO::pidfd_getfd $pidfh, $targetfd[, $flags]
+This is an interface to the Linux L<pidfd_getfd> system call. The default
+for C<$flags> is C<0>.
+On success, returns a dup'ed copy of the target file descriptor (specified
+as an integer) returned (that is already set to close-on-exec), otherwise
+returns C<undef>. If the syscall is missing, fails with C<ENOSYS>.
+Example: get a copy of standard error of another process and print soemthing to it.
+   my $errfh = IO::AIO::pidfd_getfd $pidfh, 2
+      or die "pidfd_getfd: $!\n";
+   print $errfh "stderr\n";
 =item $fh = IO::AIO::eventfd [$initval, [$flags]]
 This is a direct interface to the Linux L<eventfd(2)> system call. The
 (unhelpful) defaults for C<$initval> and C<$flags> are C<0> for both.
 The following symbol flag values are available: C<IO::AIO::EFD_CLOEXEC>,
 C<IO::AIO::EFD_NONBLOCK> and C<IO::AIO::EFD_SEMAPHORE> (Linux 2.6.30).
 Example: create a new eventfd filehandle:
-   $fh = IO::AIO::eventfd 0, IO::AIO::O_CLOEXEC
+   $fh = IO::AIO::eventfd 0, IO::AIO::EFD_CLOEXEC
