57	}
58
59	=item IO::AIO::min_parallel $nthreads
60
61	Set the minimum number of AIO threads to C<$nthreads>. The default is
62	C<1>, which means a single asynchronous operation can be done at one time
63	(the number of outstanding operations, however, is unlimited).
64
65	It is recommended to keep the number of threads low, as some linux
66	kernel versions will scale negatively with the number of threads (higher
67	parallelity => MUCH higher latency).
68
69	Under normal circumstances you don't need to call this function, as this
70	module automatically starts a single async thread.
71
72	=item IO::AIO::max_parallel $nthreads
73
74	Sets the maximum number of AIO threads to C<$nthreads>. If more than
75	the specified number of threads are currently running, kill them. This
76	function blocks until the limit is reached.
77
78	This module automatically runs C<max_parallel 0> at program end, to ensure
79	that all threads are killed and that there are no outstanding requests.
80
81	Under normal circumstances you don't need to call this function.
82
83	=item $fileno = IO::AIO::poll_fileno
84
85	Return the I<request result pipe filehandle>. This filehandle must be
86	polled for reading by some mechanism outside this module (e.g. Event
87	or select, see below). If the pipe becomes readable you have to call
88	C<poll_cb> to check the results.
89
90	See C<poll_cb> for an example.
91
92	=item IO::AIO::poll_cb
93
94	Process all outstanding events on the result pipe. You have to call this
95	regularly. Returns the number of events processed. Returns immediately
96	when no events are outstanding.
97
98	You can use Event to multiplex, e.g.:
99
100	Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
101	poll => 'r', async => 1,
102	cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
103
104	=item IO::AIO::poll_wait
105
106	Wait till the result filehandle becomes ready for reading (simply does a
107	select on the filehandle. This is useful if you want to synchronously wait
108	for some requests to finish).
109
110	See C<nreqs> for an example.
111
112	=item IO::AIO::nreqs
113
114	Returns the number of requests currently outstanding.
115
116	Example: wait till there are no outstanding requests anymore:
117
118	IO::AIO::poll_wait, IO::AIO::poll_cb

		343	sorted, and will B<NOT> include the C<.> and C<..> entries.
		344
		345	The callback a single argument which is either C<undef> or an array-ref
		346	with the filenames.
		347
		348	=item aio_scandir $path, $maxreq, $callback->($dirs, $nondirs)
		349
		350	[EXPERIMENTAL due to internal aio_group use]
		351
		352	Scans a directory (similar to C<aio_readdir>) but additionally tries to
		353	separate the entries of directory C<$path> into two sets of names, ones
		354	you can recurse into (directories or links to them), and ones you cannot
		355	recurse into (everything else).
		356
		357	C<aio_scandir> is a composite request that consists of many sub
		358	requests. C<$maxreq> specifies the maximum number of outstanding aio
		359	requests that this function generates. If it is C<< <= 0 >>, then a
		360	suitable default will be chosen (currently 8).
		361
		362	On error, the callback is called without arguments, otherwise it receives
		363	two array-refs with path-relative entry names.
		364
		365	Example:
		366
		367	aio_scandir $dir, 0, sub {
		368	my ($dirs, $nondirs) = @_;
		369	print "real directories: @$dirs\n";
		370	print "everything else: @$nondirs\n";
		371	};
		372
		373	Implementation notes.
		374
		375	The C<aio_readdir> cannot be avoided, but C<stat()>'ing every entry can.
		376
		377	After reading the directory, the modification time, size etc. of the
		378	directory before and after the readdir is checked, and if they match (and
		379	isn't the current time), the link count will be used to decide how many
		380	entries are directories (if >= 2). Otherwise, no knowledge of the number
		381	of subdirectories will be assumed.
		382
		383	Then entries will be sorted into likely directories (everything without
		384	a non-initial dot currently) and likely non-directories (everything
		385	else). Then every entry plus an appended C</.> will be C<stat>'ed,
		386	likely directories first. If that succeeds, it assumes that the entry
		387	is a directory or a symlink to directory (which will be checked
		388	seperately). This is often faster than stat'ing the entry itself because
		389	filesystems might detect the type of the entry without reading the inode
		390	data (e.g. ext2fs filetype feature).
		391
		392	If the known number of directories (link count - 2) has been reached, the
		393	rest of the entries is assumed to be non-directories.
		394
		395	This only works with certainty on POSIX (= UNIX) filesystems, which
		396	fortunately are the vast majority of filesystems around.
		397
		398	It will also likely work on non-POSIX filesystems with reduced efficiency
		399	as those tend to return 0 or 1 as link counts, which disables the
		400	directory counting heuristic.

		517
		518	This is a very special aio request: Instead of doing something, it is a
		519	container for other aio requests, which is useful if you want to bundle
		520	many requests into a single, composite, request.

		536	=item IO::AIO::aio_sleep $fractional_seconds, $callback->() NOT EXPORTED
		537
		538	Mainly used for debugging and benchmarking, this aio request puts one of
		539	the request workers to sleep for the given time.
		540
		541	While it is theoretically handy to have simple I/O scheduling requests
		542	like sleep and file handle readable/writable, the overhead this creates
		543	is immense, so do not use this function except to put your application
		544	under artificial I/O pressure.

		547
		548	=head2 IO::AIO::REQ CLASS
		549
		550	All non-aggregate C<aio_*> functions return an object of this class when
		551	called in non-void context.
		552
		553	A request always moves through the following five states in its lifetime,
		554	in order: B<ready> (request has been created, but has not been executed
		555	yet), B<execute> (request is currently being executed), B<pending>
		556	(request has been executed but callback has not been called yet),
		557	B<result> (results are being processed synchronously, includes calling the
		558	callback) and B<done> (request has reached the end of its lifetime and
		559	holds no resources anymore).
		560
		561	=over 4
		562
		563	=item $req->cancel
		564
		565	Cancels the request, if possible. Has the effect of skipping execution
		566	when entering the B<execute> state and skipping calling the callback when
		567	entering the the B<result> state, but will leave the request otherwise
		568	untouched. That means that requests that currently execute will not be
		569	stopped and resources held by the request will not be freed prematurely.
		570
		571	=back
		572
		573	=head2 IO::AIO::GRP CLASS
		574
		575	This class is a subclass of L<IO::AIO::REQ>, so all its methods apply to
		576	objects of this class, too.
		577
		578	A IO::AIO::GRP object is a special request that can contain multiple other
		579	aio requests.
		580
		581	You create one by calling the C<aio_group> constructing function with a
		582	callback that will be called when all contained requests have entered the
		583	C<done> state:
		584
		585	my $grp = aio_group sub {
		586	print "all requests are done\n";
		587	};
		588
		589	You add requests by calling the C<add> method with one or more
		590	C<IO::AIO::REQ> objects:
		591
		592	$grp->add (aio_unlink "...");
		593
		594	add $grp aio_stat "...", sub {
		595	$_[0] or return $grp->result ("error");
		596
		597	# add another request dynamically, if first succeeded
		598	add $grp aio_open "...", sub {
		599	$grp->result ("ok");
		600	};
		601	};
		602
		603	This makes it very easy to create composite requests (see the source of
		604	C<aio_move> for an application) that work and feel like simple requests.
		605
		606	The IO::AIO::GRP objects will be cleaned up during calls to
		607	C<IO::AIO::poll_cb>, just like any other request.
		608
		609	They can be canceled like any other request. Canceling will cancel not
		610	just the request itself, but also all requests it contains.
		611
		612	They can also can also be added to other IO::AIO::GRP objects.
		613
		614	Their lifetime, simplified, looks like this: when they are empty, they
		615	will finish very quickly. If they contain only requests that are in the
		616	C<done> state, they will also finish. Otherwise they will continue to
		617	exist.
		618
		619	That means after creating a group you have some time to add requests. And
		620	in the callbacks of those requests, you can add further requests to the
		621	group. And only when all those requests have finished will the the group
		622	itself finish.
		623
		624	=over 4
		625
		626	=item $grp->add (...)
		627
		628	=item add $grp ...
		629
		630	Add one or more requests to the group. Any type of L<IO::AIO::REQ> can
		631	be added, including other groups, as long as you do not create circular
		632	dependencies.
		633
		634	Returns all its arguments.
		635
		636	=item $grp->result (...)
		637
		638	Set the result value(s) that will be passed to the group callback when all
		639	subrequests have finished. By default, no argument will be passed.

		641	=back

		643	=head2 SUPPORT FUNCTIONS
		644
		645	=over 4
		646
		647	=item $fileno = IO::AIO::poll_fileno
		648
		649	Return the I<request result pipe file descriptor>. This filehandle must be
		650	polled for reading by some mechanism outside this module (e.g. Event or
		651	select, see below or the SYNOPSIS). If the pipe becomes readable you have
		652	to call C<poll_cb> to check the results.
		653
		654	See C<poll_cb> for an example.
		655
		656	=item IO::AIO::poll_cb
		657
		658	Process all outstanding events on the result pipe. You have to call this
		659	regularly. Returns the number of events processed. Returns immediately
		660	when no events are outstanding.
		661
		662	Example: Install an Event watcher that automatically calls
		663	IO::AIO::poll_cb with high priority:
		664
		665	Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
		666	poll => 'r', async => 1,
		667	cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
		668
		669	=item IO::AIO::poll_wait
		670
		671	Wait till the result filehandle becomes ready for reading (simply does a
		672	C<select> on the filehandle. This is useful if you want to synchronously wait
		673	for some requests to finish).
		674
		675	See C<nreqs> for an example.
		676
		677	=item IO::AIO::nreqs
		678
		679	Returns the number of requests currently outstanding (i.e. for which their
		680	callback has not been invoked yet).
		681
		682	Example: wait till there are no outstanding requests anymore:
		683
		684	IO::AIO::poll_wait, IO::AIO::poll_cb
		685	while IO::AIO::nreqs;
		686
		687	=item IO::AIO::flush
		688
		689	Wait till all outstanding AIO requests have been handled.
		690
		691	Strictly equivalent to:
		692
		693	IO::AIO::poll_wait, IO::AIO::poll_cb
		694	while IO::AIO::nreqs;
		695
		696	=item IO::AIO::poll
		697
		698	Waits until some requests have been handled.
		699
		700	Strictly equivalent to:
		701
		702	IO::AIO::poll_wait, IO::AIO::poll_cb
		703	if IO::AIO::nreqs;
		704
		705	=item IO::AIO::min_parallel $nthreads
		706
		707	Set the minimum number of AIO threads to C<$nthreads>. The current default
		708	is C<4>, which means four asynchronous operations can be done at one time
		709	(the number of outstanding operations, however, is unlimited).
		710
		711	IO::AIO starts threads only on demand, when an AIO request is queued and
		712	no free thread exists.
		713
		714	It is recommended to keep the number of threads low, as some Linux
		715	kernel versions will scale negatively with the number of threads (higher
		716	parallelity => MUCH higher latency). With current Linux 2.6 versions, 4-32
		717	threads should be fine.
		718
		719	Under most circumstances you don't need to call this function, as the
		720	module selects a default that is suitable for low to moderate load.
		721
		722	=item IO::AIO::max_parallel $nthreads
		723
		724	Sets the maximum number of AIO threads to C<$nthreads>. If more than the
		725	specified number of threads are currently running, this function kills
		726	them. This function blocks until the limit is reached.
		727
		728	While C<$nthreads> are zero, aio requests get queued but not executed
		729	until the number of threads has been increased again.
		730
		731	This module automatically runs C<max_parallel 0> at program end, to ensure
		732	that all threads are killed and that there are no outstanding requests.
		733
		734	Under normal circumstances you don't need to call this function.
		735
		736	=item $oldnreqs = IO::AIO::max_outstanding $nreqs
		737
		738	Sets the maximum number of outstanding requests to C<$nreqs>. If you
		739	try to queue up more than this number of requests, the caller will block until
		740	some requests have been handled.
		741
		742	The default is very large, so normally there is no practical limit. If you
		743	queue up many requests in a loop it often improves speed if you set
		744	this to a relatively low number, such as C<100>.
		745
		746	Under normal circumstances you don't need to call this function.

232		779
233	- aio_open gives a fd, but all other functions expect a perl filehandle.	780	Before the fork, IO::AIO enters a quiescent state where no requests
		781	can be added in other threads and no results will be processed. After
		782	the fork the parent simply leaves the quiescent state and continues
		783	request/result processing, while the child clears the request/result
		784	queue (so the requests started before the fork will only be handled in
		785	the parent). Threads will be started on demand until the limit ste in the
		786	parent process has been reached again.
		787
		788	In short: the parent will, after a short pause, continue as if fork had
		789	not been called, while the child will act as if IO::AIO has not been used
