		35	(L<http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libeio.html>).
51		36
		37	Asynchronous means that operations that can normally block your program
		38	(e.g. reading from disk) will be done asynchronously: the operation
		39	will still block, but you can do something else in the meantime. This
		40	is extremely useful for programs that need to stay interactive even
		41	when doing heavy I/O (GUI programs, high performance network servers
		42	etc.), but can also be used to easily do operations in parallel that are
		43	normally done sequentially, e.g. stat'ing many files, which is much faster
		44	on a RAID volume or over NFS when you do a number of stat operations
		45	concurrently.
		46
		47	While most of this works on all types of file descriptors (for
		48	example sockets), using these functions on file descriptors that
		49	support nonblocking operation (again, sockets, pipes etc.) is
		50	very inefficient. Use an event loop for that (such as the L<EV>
		51	module): IO::AIO will naturally fit into such an event loop itself.

		68	=head2 EXAMPLE
		69
		70	This is a simple example that uses the EV module and loads
		71	F</etc/passwd> asynchronously:
		72
		73	use Fcntl;
		74	use EV;
		75	use IO::AIO;
		76
		77	# register the IO::AIO callback with EV
		78	my $aio_w = EV::io IO::AIO::poll_fileno, EV::READ, \&IO::AIO::poll_cb;
		79
		80	# queue the request to open /etc/passwd
		81	aio_open "/etc/passwd", IO::AIO::O_RDONLY, 0, sub {
		82	my $fh = shift
		83	or die "error while opening: $!";
		84
		85	# stat'ing filehandles is generally non-blocking
		86	my $size = -s $fh;
		87
		88	# queue a request to read the file
		89	my $contents;
		90	aio_read $fh, 0, $size, $contents, 0, sub {
		91	$_[0] == $size
		92	or die "short read: $!";
		93
		94	close $fh;
		95
		96	# file contents now in $contents
		97	print $contents;
		98
		99	# exit event loop and program
		100	EV::unloop;
		101	};
		102	};
		103
		104	# possibly queue up other requests, or open GUI windows,
		105	# check for sockets etc. etc.
		106
		107	# process events as long as there are some:
		108	EV::loop;
		109
		110	=head1 REQUEST ANATOMY AND LIFETIME
		111
		112	Every C<aio_*> function creates a request. which is a C data structure not
		113	directly visible to Perl.
		114
		115	If called in non-void context, every request function returns a Perl
		116	object representing the request. In void context, nothing is returned,
		117	which saves a bit of memory.
		118
		119	The perl object is a fairly standard ref-to-hash object. The hash contents
		120	are not used by IO::AIO so you are free to store anything you like in it.
		121
		122	During their existance, aio requests travel through the following states,
		123	in order:
		124
		125	=over 4
		126
		127	=item ready
		128
		129	Immediately after a request is created it is put into the ready state,
		130	waiting for a thread to execute it.
		131
		132	=item execute
		133
		134	A thread has accepted the request for processing and is currently
		135	executing it (e.g. blocking in read).
		136
		137	=item pending
		138
		139	The request has been executed and is waiting for result processing.
		140
		141	While request submission and execution is fully asynchronous, result
		142	processing is not and relies on the perl interpreter calling C<poll_cb>
		143	(or another function with the same effect).
		144
		145	=item result
		146
		147	The request results are processed synchronously by C<poll_cb>.
		148
		149	The C<poll_cb> function will process all outstanding aio requests by
		150	calling their callbacks, freeing memory associated with them and managing
		151	any groups they are contained in.
		152
		153	=item done
		154
		155	Request has reached the end of its lifetime and holds no resources anymore
		156	(except possibly for the Perl object, but its connection to the actual
		157	aio request is severed and calling its methods will either do nothing or
		158	result in a runtime error).

		662
		663	C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to

		665	scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
		666
		667	C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64

		677
		678	If the system returns type information in readdir, then this is used

		684
		685	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
		686	suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()
		687	all files in the given directory, then the returned order will likely
		688	be fastest.
		689
		690	If both this flag and C<IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST> are specified, then

		1302
		1303	Every aio request has an associated errno value that is restored when
		1304	the callback is invoked. This method lets you change this value from its
		1305	default (0).
		1306
		1307	Calling C<result> will also set errno, so make sure you either set C<$!>
		1308	before the call to C<result>, or call c<errno> after it.
		1309
		1310	=item feed $grp $callback->($grp)
		1311
		1312	Sets a feeder/generator on this group: every group can have an attached
		1313	generator that generates requests if idle. The idea behind this is that,
		1314	although you could just queue as many requests as you want in a group,
		1315	this might starve other requests for a potentially long time. For example,
		1316	C<aio_scandir> might generate hundreds of thousands C<aio_stat> requests,
		1317	delaying any later requests for a long time.
		1318
		1319	To avoid this, and allow incremental generation of requests, you can
		1320	instead a group and set a feeder on it that generates those requests. The
		1321	feed callback will be called whenever there are few enough (see C<limit>,
		1322	below) requests active in the group itself and is expected to queue more
		1323	requests.
		1324
		1325	The feed callback can queue as many requests as it likes (i.e. C<add> does
		1326	not impose any limits).
		1327
		1328	If the feed does not queue more requests when called, it will be
		1329	automatically removed from the group.
		1330
		1331	If the feed limit is C<0> when this method is called, it will be set to
		1332	C<2> automatically.
		1333
		1334	Example:
		1335
		1336	# stat all files in @files, but only ever use four aio requests concurrently:
		1337
		1338	my $grp = aio_group sub { print "finished\n" };
		1339	limit $grp 4;
		1340	feed $grp sub {
		1341	my $file = pop @files
		1342	or return;
		1343
		1344	add $grp aio_stat $file, sub { ... };
		1345	};
		1346
		1347	=item limit $grp $num
		1348
		1349	Sets the feeder limit for the group: The feeder will be called whenever
		1350	the group contains less than this many requests.
		1351
		1352	Setting the limit to C<0> will pause the feeding process.
		1353
		1354	The default value for the limit is C<0>, but note that setting a feeder
		1355	automatically bumps it up to C<2>.

		1534
		1535	Returns the number of requests currently in the ready, execute or pending

		1537
		1538	Example: wait till there are no outstanding requests anymore:

		1541	while IO::AIO::nreqs;
		1542

		1556
		1557	IO::AIO implements some functions that might be useful, but are not
		1558	asynchronous.
		1559
		1560	=over 4
		1561
		1562	=item IO::AIO::sendfile $ofh, $ifh, $offset, $count
		1563
		1564	Calls the C<eio_sendfile_sync> function, which is like C<aio_sendfile>,
		1565	but is blocking (this makes most sense if you know the input data is
		1566	likely cached already and the output filehandle is set to non-blocking
		1567	operations).
		1568
		1569	Returns the number of bytes copied, or C<-1> on error.
		1570
		1571	=item IO::AIO::fadvise $fh, $offset, $len, $advice
		1572
		1573	Simply calls the C<posix_fadvise> function (see it's
		1574	manpage for details). The following advice constants are
		1575	avaiable: C<IO::AIO::FADV_NORMAL>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_SEQUENTIAL>,
		1576	C<IO::AIO::FADV_RANDOM>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_NOREUSE>,
		1577	C<IO::AIO::FADV_WILLNEED>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_DONTNEED>.
		1578
		1579	On systems that do not implement C<posix_fadvise>, this function returns
		1580	ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<posix_fadvise>.
		1581
		1582	=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
		1583
		1584	Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
		1585	given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar.
		1586
		1587	The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
		1588	change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
		1589	or searching it with regexes and so on.
		1590
		1591	Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
		1592
		1593	The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
		1594	when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
		1595	C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
		1596
		1597	This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
		1598	page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
		1599
		1600	The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
		1601	filesize.
		1602
		1603	C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
		1604	C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
		1605
		1606	C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or
		1607	C<IO::AIO::MAP_PRIVATE>, or a number of system-specific flags (when
		1608	not available, the are defined as 0): C<IO::AIO::MAP_ANONYMOUS>
		1609	(which is set to C<MAP_ANON> if your system only provides this
		1610	constant), C<IO::AIO::MAP_HUGETLB>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_LOCKED>,
		1611	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NORESERVE>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_POPULATE> or
		1612	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NONBLOCK>
		1613
		1614	If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
		1615
		1616	C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
		1617	a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
		1618
		1619	Example:
		1620
		1621	use Digest::MD5;
		1622	use IO::AIO;
		1623
		1624	open my $fh, "<verybigfile"

		1626
		1627	IO::AIO::mmap my $data, -s $fh, IO::AIO::PROT_READ, IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED, $fh
		1628	or die "verybigfile: $!";
		1629
		1630	my $fast_md5 = md5 $data;
		1631
		1632	=item IO::AIO::munmap $scalar
		1633
		1634	Removes a previous mmap and undefines the C<$scalar>.
		1635
		1636	=item IO::AIO::munlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef
		1637
		1638	Calls the C<munlock> function, undoing the effects of a previous
		1639	C<aio_mlock> call (see its description for details).
		1640
		1641	=item IO::AIO::munlockall
		1642
		1643	Calls the C<munlockall> function.
		1644
		1645	On systems that do not implement C<munlockall>, this function returns
		1646	ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<munlockall>.

		1658	=head1 EVENT LOOP INTEGRATION
		1659
		1660	It is recommended to use L<AnyEvent::AIO> to integrate IO::AIO
		1661	automatically into many event loops:
		1662
		1663	# AnyEvent integration (EV, Event, Glib, Tk, POE, urxvt, pureperl...)
		1664	use AnyEvent::AIO;
		1665
		1666	You can also integrate IO::AIO manually into many event loops, here are
		1667	some examples of how to do this:
		1668
		1669	# EV integration
		1670	my $aio_w = EV::io IO::AIO::poll_fileno, EV::READ, \&IO::AIO::poll_cb;
		1671
		1672	# Event integration
		1673	Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
		1674	poll => 'r',
		1675	cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
		1676
		1677	# Glib/Gtk2 integration
		1678	add_watch Glib::IO IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
		1679	in => sub { IO::AIO::poll_cb; 1 };
		1680
		1681	# Tk integration
		1682	Tk::Event::IO->fileevent (IO::AIO::poll_fileno, "",
		1683	readable => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
		1684
		1685	# Danga::Socket integration
		1686	Danga::Socket->AddOtherFds (IO::AIO::poll_fileno =>
		1687	\&IO::AIO::poll_cb);

		1705	=head2 MEMORY USAGE
		1706
		1707	Per-request usage:
		1708
		1709	Each aio request uses - depending on your architecture - around 100-200
		1710	bytes of memory. In addition, stat requests need a stat buffer (possibly
		1711	a few hundred bytes), readdir requires a result buffer and so on. Perl
		1712	scalars and other data passed into aio requests will also be locked and
		1713	will consume memory till the request has entered the done state.
		1714
		1715	This is not awfully much, so queuing lots of requests is not usually a
		1716	problem.
		1717
		1718	Per-thread usage:
		1719
		1720	In the execution phase, some aio requests require more memory for
		1721	temporary buffers, and each thread requires a stack and other data
		1722	structures (usually around 16k-128k, depending on the OS).
		1723
		1724	=head1 KNOWN BUGS
		1725
		1726	Known bugs will be fixed in the next release.
