		35	(L<http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libeio.html>).
54		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.
		52

		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).

		1337
		1338	Every aio request has an associated errno value that is restored when

		1340	default (0).
		1341
		1342	Calling C<result> will also set errno, so make sure you either set C<$!>
		1343	before the call to C<result>, or call c<errno> after it.
		1344
		1345	=item feed $grp $callback->($grp)
		1346
		1347	Sets a feeder/generator on this group: every group can have an attached
		1348	generator that generates requests if idle. The idea behind this is that,
		1349	although you could just queue as many requests as you want in a group,
		1350	this might starve other requests for a potentially long time. For example,
		1351	C<aio_scandir> might generate hundreds of thousands C<aio_stat> requests,
		1352	delaying any later requests for a long time.
		1353
		1354	To avoid this, and allow incremental generation of requests, you can
		1355	instead a group and set a feeder on it that generates those requests. The
		1356	feed callback will be called whenever there are few enough (see C<limit>,
		1357	below) requests active in the group itself and is expected to queue more
		1358	requests.
		1359
		1360	The feed callback can queue as many requests as it likes (i.e. C<add> does
		1361	not impose any limits).
		1362
		1363	If the feed does not queue more requests when called, it will be
		1364	automatically removed from the group.
		1365
		1366	If the feed limit is C<0> when this method is called, it will be set to
		1367	C<2> automatically.
		1368
		1369	Example:
		1370
		1371	# stat all files in @files, but only ever use four aio requests concurrently:
		1372
		1373	my $grp = aio_group sub { print "finished\n" };
		1374	limit $grp 4;
		1375	feed $grp sub {
		1376	my $file = pop @files
		1377	or return;
		1378
		1379	add $grp aio_stat $file, sub { ... };
		1380	};
		1381
		1382	=item limit $grp $num
		1383
		1384	Sets the feeder limit for the group: The feeder will be called whenever
		1385	the group contains less than this many requests.
		1386
		1387	Setting the limit to C<0> will pause the feeding process.
		1388
		1389	The default value for the limit is C<0>, but note that setting a feeder
		1390	automatically bumps it up to C<2>.

		1607	asynchronous.
		1608
		1609	=over 4
		1610
		1611	=item IO::AIO::sendfile $ofh, $ifh, $offset, $count
		1612
		1613	Calls the C<eio_sendfile_sync> function, which is like C<aio_sendfile>,
		1614	but is blocking (this makes most sense if you know the input data is
		1615	likely cached already and the output filehandle is set to non-blocking
		1616	operations).
		1617
		1618	Returns the number of bytes copied, or C<-1> on error.
		1619
		1620	=item IO::AIO::fadvise $fh, $offset, $len, $advice
		1621
		1622	Simply calls the C<posix_fadvise> function (see its
		1623	manpage for details). The following advice constants are
		1624	avaiable: C<IO::AIO::FADV_NORMAL>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_SEQUENTIAL>,
		1625	C<IO::AIO::FADV_RANDOM>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_NOREUSE>,
		1626	C<IO::AIO::FADV_WILLNEED>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_DONTNEED>.
		1627
		1628	On systems that do not implement C<posix_fadvise>, this function returns
		1629	ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<posix_fadvise>.
		1630
		1631	=item IO::AIO::madvise $scalar, $offset, $len, $advice
		1632
		1633	Simply calls the C<posix_madvise> function (see its
		1634	manpage for details). The following advice constants are
		1635	avaiable: C<IO::AIO::MADV_NORMAL>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_SEQUENTIAL>,
		1636	C<IO::AIO::MADV_RANDOM>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_WILLNEED>, C<IO::AIO::MADV_DONTNEED>.
		1637
		1638	On systems that do not implement C<posix_madvise>, this function returns
		1639	ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<posix_madvise>.
		1640
		1641	=item IO::AIO::mprotect $scalar, $offset, $len, $protect
		1642
		1643	Simply calls the C<mprotect> function on the preferably AIO::mmap'ed
		1644	$scalar (see its manpage for details). The following protect
		1645	constants are avaiable: C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ>,
		1646	C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>.
		1647
		1648	On systems that do not implement C<mprotect>, this function returns
		1649	ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of C<mprotect>.
		1650
		1651	=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
		1652
		1653	Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
		1654	given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar.
		1655
		1656	The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
		1657	change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
		1658	or searching it with regexes and so on.
		1659
		1660	Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
		1661
		1662	The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
		1663	when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
		1664	C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
		1665
		1666	This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
		1667	page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
		1668
		1669	The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
		1670	filesize.
		1671
		1672	C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
		1673	C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
		1674
		1675	C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or
		1676	C<IO::AIO::MAP_PRIVATE>, or a number of system-specific flags (when
		1677	not available, the are defined as 0): C<IO::AIO::MAP_ANONYMOUS>
		1678	(which is set to C<MAP_ANON> if your system only provides this
		1679	constant), C<IO::AIO::MAP_HUGETLB>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_LOCKED>,
		1680	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NORESERVE>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_POPULATE> or
		1681	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NONBLOCK>
		1682
		1683	If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
		1684
		1685	C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
		1686	a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
		1687
		1688	Example:
		1689
		1690	use Digest::MD5;
		1691	use IO::AIO;
		1692
		1693	open my $fh, "<verybigfile"

		1695
		1696	IO::AIO::mmap my $data, -s $fh, IO::AIO::PROT_READ, IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED, $fh
		1697	or die "verybigfile: $!";
		1698
		1699	my $fast_md5 = md5 $data;
		1700
		1701	=item IO::AIO::munmap $scalar
		1702
		1703	Removes a previous mmap and undefines the C<$scalar>.
		1704
		1705	=item IO::AIO::munlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef
		1706
		1707	Calls the C<munlock> function, undoing the effects of a previous
		1708	C<aio_mlock> call (see its description for details).
		1709
		1710	=item IO::AIO::munlockall
		1711
		1712	Calls the C<munlockall> function.

		1733	use AnyEvent::AIO;
		1734
		1735	You can also integrate IO::AIO manually into many event loops, here are
		1736	some examples of how to do this:
		1737
		1738	# EV integration
		1739	my $aio_w = EV::io IO::AIO::poll_fileno, EV::READ, \&IO::AIO::poll_cb;

		1774	=head2 MEMORY USAGE
		1775
		1776	Per-request usage:
		1777
		1778	Each aio request uses - depending on your architecture - around 100-200
		1779	bytes of memory. In addition, stat requests need a stat buffer (possibly
		1780	a few hundred bytes), readdir requires a result buffer and so on. Perl
		1781	scalars and other data passed into aio requests will also be locked and
		1782	will consume memory till the request has entered the done state.
		1783
		1784	This is not awfully much, so queuing lots of requests is not usually a
		1785	problem.
		1786
		1787	Per-thread usage:
		1788
		1789	In the execution phase, some aio requests require more memory for
		1790	temporary buffers, and each thread requires a stack and other data
		1791	structures (usually around 16k-128k, depending on the OS).
