170
171Tries to copy C<$length> bytes from C<$in_fh> to C<$out_fh>. It starts
172reading at byte offset C<$in_offset>, and starts writing at the current
173file offset of C<$out_fh>. Because of that, it is not safe to issue more
174than one C<aio_sendfile> per C<$out_fh>, as they will interfere with each
175other.
176
177This call tries to make use of a native C<sendfile> syscall to provide
178zero-copy operation. For this to work, C<$out_fh> should refer to a
179socket, and C<$in_fh> should refer to mmap'able file.
180
181If the native sendfile call fails or is not implemented, it will be
182emulated, so you can call C<aio_sendfile> on any type of filehandle
183regardless of the limitations of the operating system.
184
185Please note, however, that C<aio_sendfile> can read more bytes from
186C<$in_fh> than are written, and there is no way to find out how many
187bytes have been read from C<aio_sendfile> alone, as C<aio_sendfile> only
188provides the number of bytes written to C<$out_fh>. Only if the result
189value equals C<$length> one can assume that C<$length> bytes have been
190read.
