		70
		71	=head1 REQUEST ANATOMY AND LIFETIME
		72
		73	Every C<aio_*> function creates a request. which is a C data structure not
		74	directly visible to Perl.
		75
		76	If called in non-void context, every request function returns a Perl
		77	object representing the request. In void context, nothing is returned,
		78	which saves a bit of memory.
		79
		80	The perl object is a fairly standard ref-to-hash object. The hash contents
		81	are not used by IO::AIO so you are free to store anything you like in it.
		82
		83	During their existance, aio requests travel through the following states,
		84	in order:
		85
		86	=over 4
		87
		88	=item ready
		89
		90	Immediately after a request is created it is put into the ready state,
		91	waiting for a thread to execute it.
		92
		93	=item execute
		94
		95	A thread has accepted the request for processing and is currently
		96	executing it (e.g. blocking in read).
		97
		98	=item pending
		99
		100	The request has been executed and is waiting for result processing.
		101
		102	While request submission and execution is fully asynchronous, result
		103	processing is not and relies on the perl interpreter calling C<poll_cb>
		104	(or another function with the same effect).
		105
		106	=item result
		107
		108	The request results are processed synchronously by C<poll_cb>.
		109
		110	The C<poll_cb> function will process all outstanding aio requests by
		111	calling their callbacks, freeing memory associated with them and managing
		112	any groups they are contained in.
		113
		114	=item done
		115
		116	Request has reached the end of its lifetime and holds no resources anymore
		117	(except possibly for the Perl object, but its connection to the actual
		118	aio request is severed and calling its methods will either do nothing or
		119	result in a runtime error).

		626	=item aio_group $callback->(...)
		627
		628	This is a very special aio request: Instead of doing something, it is a
		629	container for other aio requests, which is useful if you want to bundle
		630	many requests into a single, composite, request with a definite callback
		631	and the ability to cancel the whole request with its subrequests.
		632
		633	Returns an object of class L<IO::AIO::GRP>. See its documentation below
		634	for more info.
		635
		636	Example:
		637
		638	my $grp = aio_group sub {
		639	print "all stats done\n";
		640	};
		641
		642	add $grp
		643	(aio_stat ...),
		644	(aio_stat ...),
		645	...;
		646
		647	=item aio_nop $callback->()
		648
		649	This is a special request - it does nothing in itself and is only used for
		650	side effects, such as when you want to add a dummy request to a group so
		651	that finishing the requests in the group depends on executing the given
		652	code.
		653
		654	While this request does nothing, it still goes through the execution
		655	phase and still requires a worker thread. Thus, the callback will not
		656	be executed immediately but only after other requests in the queue have
		657	entered their execution phase. This can be used to measure request
		658	latency.
		659
		660	=item IO::AIO::aio_busy $fractional_seconds, $callback->() NOT EXPORTED
		661
		662	Mainly used for debugging and benchmarking, this aio request puts one of
		663	the request workers to sleep for the given time.
		664
		665	While it is theoretically handy to have simple I/O scheduling requests
		666	like sleep and file handle readable/writable, the overhead this creates is
		667	immense (it blocks a thread for a long time) so do not use this function
		668	except to put your application under artificial I/O pressure.
		669
		670	=back
		671
		672	=head2 IO::AIO::REQ CLASS
		673
		674	All non-aggregate C<aio_*> functions return an object of this class when
		675	called in non-void context.
		676
		677	=over 4
		678
		679	=item cancel $req
		680
		681	Cancels the request, if possible. Has the effect of skipping execution
		682	when entering the B<execute> state and skipping calling the callback when
		683	entering the the B<result> state, but will leave the request otherwise
		684	untouched. That means that requests that currently execute will not be
		685	stopped and resources held by the request will not be freed prematurely.
		686
		687	=item cb $req $callback->(...)
		688
		689	Replace (or simply set) the callback registered to the request.
		690
		691	=back
		692
		693	=head2 IO::AIO::GRP CLASS
		694
		695	This class is a subclass of L<IO::AIO::REQ>, so all its methods apply to
		696	objects of this class, too.
		697
		698	A IO::AIO::GRP object is a special request that can contain multiple other
		699	aio requests.
		700
		701	You create one by calling the C<aio_group> constructing function with a
		702	callback that will be called when all contained requests have entered the
		703	C<done> state:
		704
		705	my $grp = aio_group sub {
		706	print "all requests are done\n";
		707	};
		708
		709	You add requests by calling the C<add> method with one or more
		710	C<IO::AIO::REQ> objects:
		711
		712	$grp->add (aio_unlink "...");
		713
		714	add $grp aio_stat "...", sub {
		715	$_[0] or return $grp->result ("error");
		716
		717	# add another request dynamically, if first succeeded
		718	add $grp aio_open "...", sub {
		719	$grp->result ("ok");
		720	};
		721	};
		722
		723	This makes it very easy to create composite requests (see the source of
		724	C<aio_move> for an application) that work and feel like simple requests.
		725
		726	=over 4
		727
		728	=item * The IO::AIO::GRP objects will be cleaned up during calls to
		729	C<IO::AIO::poll_cb>, just like any other request.
		730
		731	=item * They can be canceled like any other request. Canceling will cancel not
		732	only the request itself, but also all requests it contains.
		733
		734	=item * They can also can also be added to other IO::AIO::GRP objects.
		735
		736	=item * You must not add requests to a group from within the group callback (or
		737	any later time).
		738
		739	=back
		740
		741	Their lifetime, simplified, looks like this: when they are empty, they
		742	will finish very quickly. If they contain only requests that are in the
		743	C<done> state, they will also finish. Otherwise they will continue to
		744	exist.
		745
		746	That means after creating a group you have some time to add requests. And
		747	in the callbacks of those requests, you can add further requests to the
		748	group. And only when all those requests have finished will the the group
		749	itself finish.
		750
		751	=over 4
		752
		753	=item add $grp ...
		754
		755	=item $grp->add (...)
		756
		757	Add one or more requests to the group. Any type of L<IO::AIO::REQ> can
		758	be added, including other groups, as long as you do not create circular
		759	dependencies.
		760
		761	Returns all its arguments.
		762
		763	=item $grp->cancel_subs
		764
		765	Cancel all subrequests and clears any feeder, but not the group request
		766	itself. Useful when you queued a lot of events but got a result early.
		767
		768	=item $grp->result (...)
		769
		770	Set the result value(s) that will be passed to the group callback when all
		771	subrequests have finished and set thre groups errno to the current value
		772	of errno (just like calling C<errno> without an error number). By default,
		773	no argument will be passed and errno is zero.
		774
		775	=item $grp->errno ([$errno])
		776
		777	Sets the group errno value to C<$errno>, or the current value of errno
		778	when the argument is missing.
		779
		780	Every aio request has an associated errno value that is restored when
		781	the callback is invoked. This method lets you change this value from its
		782	default (0).
		783
		784	Calling C<result> will also set errno, so make sure you either set C<$!>
		785	before the call to C<result>, or call c<errno> after it.
		786
		787	=item feed $grp $callback->($grp)
		788
		789	Sets a feeder/generator on this group: every group can have an attached
		790	generator that generates requests if idle. The idea behind this is that,
		791	although you could just queue as many requests as you want in a group,
		792	this might starve other requests for a potentially long time. For
		793	example, C<aio_scandir> might generate hundreds of thousands C<aio_stat>
		794	requests, delaying any later requests for a long time.
		795
		796	To avoid this, and allow incremental generation of requests, you can
		797	instead a group and set a feeder on it that generates those requests. The
		798	feed callback will be called whenever there are few enough (see C<limit>,
		799	below) requests active in the group itself and is expected to queue more
		800	requests.
		801
		802	The feed callback can queue as many requests as it likes (i.e. C<add> does
		803	not impose any limits).
		804
		805	If the feed does not queue more requests when called, it will be
		806	automatically removed from the group.
		807
		808	If the feed limit is C<0>, it will be set to C<2> automatically.
		809
		810	Example:
		811
		812	# stat all files in @files, but only ever use four aio requests concurrently:
		813
		814	my $grp = aio_group sub { print "finished\n" };
		815	limit $grp 4;
		816	feed $grp sub {
		817	my $file = pop @files
		818	or return;
		819
		820	add $grp aio_stat $file, sub { ... };
		821	};
		822
		823	=item limit $grp $num
		824
		825	Sets the feeder limit for the group: The feeder will be called whenever
		826	the group contains less than this many requests.
		827
		828	Setting the limit to C<0> will pause the feeding process.

		1013	In short: the parent will, after a short pause, continue as if fork had

		1016
		1017	=head2 MEMORY USAGE
		1018
		1019	Per-request usage:
		1020
		1021	Each aio request uses - depending on your architecture - around 100-200
		1022	bytes of memory. In addition, stat requests need a stat buffer (possibly
		1023	a few hundred bytes), readdir requires a result buffer and so on. Perl
		1024	scalars and other data passed into aio requests will also be locked and
		1025	will consume memory till the request has entered the done state.
		1026
		1027	This is now awfully much, so queuing lots of requests is not usually a
		1028	problem.
		1029
		1030	Per-thread usage:
		1031
		1032	In the execution phase, some aio requests require more memory for
		1033	temporary buffers, and each thread requires a stack and other data
		1034	structures (usually around 16k-128k, depending on the OS).
		1035
		1036	=head1 KNOWN BUGS
		1037
		1038	Known bugs will be fixed in the next release.
