50	operating system supports.	57	operating system supports. It is implemented as an interface to C<libeio>
		58	(L<http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libeio.html>).
51		59
		60	Asynchronous means that operations that can normally block your program
		61	(e.g. reading from disk) will be done asynchronously: the operation
		62	will still block, but you can do something else in the meantime. This
		63	is extremely useful for programs that need to stay interactive even
		64	when doing heavy I/O (GUI programs, high performance network servers
		65	etc.), but can also be used to easily do operations in parallel that are
		66	normally done sequentially, e.g. stat'ing many files, which is much faster
		67	on a RAID volume or over NFS when you do a number of stat operations
		68	concurrently.
		69
		70	While most of this works on all types of file descriptors (for
		71	example sockets), using these functions on file descriptors that
		72	support nonblocking operation (again, sockets, pipes etc.) is
		73	very inefficient. Use an event loop for that (such as the L<EV>
		74	module): IO::AIO will naturally fit into such an event loop itself.
		75

		91	=head2 EXAMPLE
		92
		93	This is a simple example that uses the EV module and loads
		94	F</etc/passwd> asynchronously:
		95
		96	use Fcntl;
		97	use EV;
		98	use IO::AIO;
		99
		100	# register the IO::AIO callback with EV
		101	my $aio_w = EV::io IO::AIO::poll_fileno, EV::READ, \&IO::AIO::poll_cb;
		102
		103	# queue the request to open /etc/passwd
		104	aio_open "/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY, 0, sub {
		105	my $fh = shift
		106	or die "error while opening: $!";
		107
		108	# stat'ing filehandles is generally non-blocking
		109	my $size = -s $fh;
		110
		111	# queue a request to read the file
		112	my $contents;
		113	aio_read $fh, 0, $size, $contents, 0, sub {
		114	$_[0] == $size
		115	or die "short read: $!";
		116
		117	close $fh;
		118
		119	# file contents now in $contents
		120	print $contents;
		121
		122	# exit event loop and program
		123	EV::unloop;
		124	};
		125	};
		126
		127	# possibly queue up other requests, or open GUI windows,
		128	# check for sockets etc. etc.
		129
		130	# process events as long as there are some:
		131	EV::loop;
		132
		133	=head1 REQUEST ANATOMY AND LIFETIME
		134
		135	Every C<aio_*> function creates a request. which is a C data structure not
		136	directly visible to Perl.
		137
		138	If called in non-void context, every request function returns a Perl
		139	object representing the request. In void context, nothing is returned,
		140	which saves a bit of memory.
		141
		142	The perl object is a fairly standard ref-to-hash object. The hash contents
		143	are not used by IO::AIO so you are free to store anything you like in it.
		144
		145	During their existance, aio requests travel through the following states,
		146	in order:
		147
		148	=over 4
		149
		150	=item ready
		151
		152	Immediately after a request is created it is put into the ready state,
		153	waiting for a thread to execute it.
		154
		155	=item execute
		156
		157	A thread has accepted the request for processing and is currently
		158	executing it (e.g. blocking in read).
		159
		160	=item pending
		161
		162	The request has been executed and is waiting for result processing.
		163
		164	While request submission and execution is fully asynchronous, result
		165	processing is not and relies on the perl interpreter calling C<poll_cb>
		166	(or another function with the same effect).
		167
		168	=item result
		169
		170	The request results are processed synchronously by C<poll_cb>.
		171
		172	The C<poll_cb> function will process all outstanding aio requests by
		173	calling their callbacks, freeing memory associated with them and managing
		174	any groups they are contained in.
		175
		176	=item done
		177
		178	Request has reached the end of its lifetime and holds no resources anymore
		179	(except possibly for the Perl object, but its connection to the actual
		180	aio request is severed and calling its methods will either do nothing or
		181	result in a runtime error).

		555	When this flag is off, then the callback gets an arrayref with of names

		558	entry in more detail.
		559
		560	C<$name> is the name of the entry.
		561
		562	C<$type> is one of the C<IO::AIO::DT_xxx> constants:

		566	C<IO::AIO::DT_WHT>.
		567
		568	C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to
		569	know, you have to run stat yourself. Also, for speed reasons, the C<$type>
		570	scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
		571
		572	C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64

		575

		577
		578	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order where

		580	find directories, or you want to find all directories while avoiding to

		582
		583	If the system returns type information in readdir, then this is used

		587
		588	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_STAT_ORDER
		589
		590	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
		591	suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()
		592	all files in the given directory, then the returned order will likely
		593	be fastest.
		594
		595	If both this flag and C<IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST> are specified, then

		597
		598	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_FOUND_UNKNOWN

		1064
		1065	This class is a subclass of L<IO::AIO::REQ>, so all its methods apply to
		1066	objects of this class, too.
		1067
		1068	A IO::AIO::GRP object is a special request that can contain multiple other
		1069	aio requests.
		1070
		1071	You create one by calling the C<aio_group> constructing function with a
		1072	callback that will be called when all contained requests have entered the
		1073	C<done> state:
		1074
		1075	my $grp = aio_group sub {
		1076	print "all requests are done\n";
		1077	};
		1078
		1079	You add requests by calling the C<add> method with one or more
		1080	C<IO::AIO::REQ> objects:
		1081
		1082	$grp->add (aio_unlink "...");
		1083
		1084	add $grp aio_stat "...", sub {
		1085	$_[0] or return $grp->result ("error");
		1086
		1087	# add another request dynamically, if first succeeded
		1088	add $grp aio_open "...", sub {
		1089	$grp->result ("ok");
		1090	};
		1091	};
		1092
		1093	This makes it very easy to create composite requests (see the source of
		1094	C<aio_move> for an application) that work and feel like simple requests.
		1095
		1096	=over 4
		1097
		1098	=item * The IO::AIO::GRP objects will be cleaned up during calls to

		1102	only the request itself, but also all requests it contains.

		1108
		1109	=back
		1110
		1111	Their lifetime, simplified, looks like this: when they are empty, they
		1112	will finish very quickly. If they contain only requests that are in the
		1113	C<done> state, they will also finish. Otherwise they will continue to
		1114	exist.
		1115
		1116	That means after creating a group you have some time to add requests
		1117	(precisely before the callback has been invoked, which is only done within
		1118	the C<poll_cb>). And in the callbacks of those requests, you can add
		1119	further requests to the group. And only when all those requests have
		1120	finished will the the group itself finish.

		1130	dependencies.

		1133
		1134	=item $grp->cancel_subs
		1135
		1136	Cancel all subrequests and clears any feeder, but not the group request
		1137	itself. Useful when you queued a lot of events but got a result early.
		1138
		1139	The group request will finish normally (you cannot add requests to the
		1140	group).
		1141
		1142	=item $grp->result (...)
		1143
		1144	Set the result value(s) that will be passed to the group callback when all
		1145	subrequests have finished and set the groups errno to the current value
		1146	of errno (just like calling C<errno> without an error number). By default,
		1147	no argument will be passed and errno is zero.
		1148
		1149	=item $grp->errno ([$errno])
		1150
		1151	Sets the group errno value to C<$errno>, or the current value of errno
		1152	when the argument is missing.
		1153
		1154	Every aio request has an associated errno value that is restored when
		1155	the callback is invoked. This method lets you change this value from its
		1156	default (0).
		1157
		1158	Calling C<result> will also set errno, so make sure you either set C<$!>
		1159	before the call to C<result>, or call c<errno> after it.
		1160
		1161	=item feed $grp $callback->($grp)
		1162
		1163	Sets a feeder/generator on this group: every group can have an attached
		1164	generator that generates requests if idle. The idea behind this is that,
		1165	although you could just queue as many requests as you want in a group,
		1166	this might starve other requests for a potentially long time. For example,
		1167	C<aio_scandir> might generate hundreds of thousands C<aio_stat> requests,
		1168	delaying any later requests for a long time.
		1169
		1170	To avoid this, and allow incremental generation of requests, you can
		1171	instead a group and set a feeder on it that generates those requests. The
		1172	feed callback will be called whenever there are few enough (see C<limit>,
		1173	below) requests active in the group itself and is expected to queue more
		1174	requests.
		1175
		1176	The feed callback can queue as many requests as it likes (i.e. C<add> does
		1177	not impose any limits).
		1178
		1179	If the feed does not queue more requests when called, it will be
		1180	automatically removed from the group.
		1181
		1182	If the feed limit is C<0> when this method is called, it will be set to
		1183	C<2> automatically.
		1184
		1185	Example:
		1186
		1187	# stat all files in @files, but only ever use four aio requests concurrently:
		1188
		1189	my $grp = aio_group sub { print "finished\n" };
		1190	limit $grp 4;
		1191	feed $grp sub {
		1192	my $file = pop @files
		1193	or return;
		1194
		1195	add $grp aio_stat $file, sub { ... };
		1196	};
		1197
		1198	=item limit $grp $num
		1199
		1200	Sets the feeder limit for the group: The feeder will be called whenever
		1201	the group contains less than this many requests.
		1202
		1203	Setting the limit to C<0> will pause the feeding process.
		1204
		1205	The default value for the limit is C<0>, but note that setting a feeder
		1206	automatically bumps it up to C<2>.

		1459	=head2 MEMORY USAGE
		1460
		1461	Per-request usage:
		1462
		1463	Each aio request uses - depending on your architecture - around 100-200
		1464	bytes of memory. In addition, stat requests need a stat buffer (possibly
		1465	a few hundred bytes), readdir requires a result buffer and so on. Perl
		1466	scalars and other data passed into aio requests will also be locked and
		1467	will consume memory till the request has entered the done state.
		1468
		1469	This is not awfully much, so queuing lots of requests is not usually a
		1470	problem.
		1471
		1472	Per-thread usage:
		1473
		1474	In the execution phase, some aio requests require more memory for
		1475	temporary buffers, and each thread requires a stack and other data
		1476	structures (usually around 16k-128k, depending on the OS).
