54		56
		57	Asynchronous means that operations that can normally block your program
		58	(e.g. reading from disk) will be done asynchronously: the operation
		59	will still block, but you can do something else in the meantime. This
		60	is extremely useful for programs that need to stay interactive even
		61	when doing heavy I/O (GUI programs, high performance network servers
		62	etc.), but can also be used to easily do operations in parallel that are
		63	normally done sequentially, e.g. stat'ing many files, which is much faster
		64	on a RAID volume or over NFS when you do a number of stat operations
		65	concurrently.
		66
		67	While most of this works on all types of file descriptors (for example
		68	sockets), using these functions on file descriptors that support
		69	nonblocking operation (again, sockets, pipes etc.) is very inefficient or
		70	might not work (aio_read fails on sockets/pipes/fifos). Use an event loop
		71	for that (such as the L<Event\|Event> module): IO::AIO will naturally fit
		72	into such an event loop itself.

		89	=head2 EXAMPLE
		90
		91	This is a simple example that uses the Event module and loads
		92	F</etc/passwd> asynchronously:
		93
		94	use Fcntl;
		95	use Event;
		96	use IO::AIO;
		97
		98	# register the IO::AIO callback with Event
		99	Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
		100	poll => 'r',
		101	cb => \&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	Event::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	Event::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).

		928	when the argument is missing.
		929
		930	Every aio request has an associated errno value that is restored when
		931	the callback is invoked. This method lets you change this value from its
		932	default (0).
		933
		934	Calling C<result> will also set errno, so make sure you either set C<$!>
		935	before the call to C<result>, or call c<errno> after it.
		936
		937	=item feed $grp $callback->($grp)
		938
		939	Sets a feeder/generator on this group: every group can have an attached
		940	generator that generates requests if idle. The idea behind this is that,
		941	although you could just queue as many requests as you want in a group,
		942	this might starve other requests for a potentially long time. For
		943	example, C<aio_scandir> might generate hundreds of thousands C<aio_stat>
		944	requests, delaying any later requests for a long time.
		945
		946	To avoid this, and allow incremental generation of requests, you can
		947	instead a group and set a feeder on it that generates those requests. The
		948	feed callback will be called whenever there are few enough (see C<limit>,
		949	below) requests active in the group itself and is expected to queue more
		950	requests.
		951
		952	The feed callback can queue as many requests as it likes (i.e. C<add> does
		953	not impose any limits).
		954
		955	If the feed does not queue more requests when called, it will be
		956	automatically removed from the group.
		957
		958	If the feed limit is C<0>, it will be set to C<2> automatically.
		959
		960	Example:
		961
		962	# stat all files in @files, but only ever use four aio requests concurrently:
		963
		964	my $grp = aio_group sub { print "finished\n" };
		965	limit $grp 4;
		966	feed $grp sub {
		967	my $file = pop @files
		968	or return;
		969
		970	add $grp aio_stat $file, sub { ... };
		971	};
		972
		973	=item limit $grp $num
		974
		975	Sets the feeder limit for the group: The feeder will be called whenever
		976	the group contains less than this many requests.
		977
		978	Setting the limit to C<0> will pause the feeding process.

		1023
		1024	Setting C<max_poll_time> to a non-zero value creates an overhead of one
		1025	syscall per request processed, which is not normally a problem unless your
		1026	callbacks are really really fast or your OS is really really slow (I am

		1207	=head2 MEMORY USAGE
		1208
		1209	Per-request usage:
		1210
		1211	Each aio request uses - depending on your architecture - around 100-200
		1212	bytes of memory. In addition, stat requests need a stat buffer (possibly
		1213	a few hundred bytes), readdir requires a result buffer and so on. Perl
		1214	scalars and other data passed into aio requests will also be locked and
		1215	will consume memory till the request has entered the done state.
		1216
		1217	This is now awfully much, so queuing lots of requests is not usually a
		1218	problem.
		1219
		1220	Per-thread usage:
		1221
		1222	In the execution phase, some aio requests require more memory for
		1223	temporary buffers, and each thread requires a stack and other data
		1224	structures (usually around 16k-128k, depending on the OS).
