51=head1 DESCRIPTION 52=head1 DESCRIPTION
52 53
53This module implements asynchronous I/O using whatever means your 54This module implements asynchronous I/O using whatever means your
54operating system supports. 55operating system supports.
56
57Asynchronous means that operations that can normally block your program
58(e.g. reading from disk) will be done asynchronously: the operation
59will still block, but you can do something else in the meantime. This
60is extremely useful for programs that need to stay interactive even
61when doing heavy I/O (GUI programs, high performance network servers
62etc.), but can also be used to easily do operations in parallel that are
63normally done sequentially, e.g. stat'ing many files, which is much faster
64on a RAID volume or over NFS when you do a number of stat operations
65concurrently.
66
67While most of this works on all types of file descriptors (for example
68sockets), using these functions on file descriptors that support
69nonblocking operation (again, sockets, pipes etc.) is very inefficient or
70might not work (aio_read fails on sockets/pipes/fifos). Use an event loop
71for that (such as the L<Event|Event> module): IO::AIO will naturally fit
72into such an event loop itself.
55 73
56In this version, a number of threads are started that execute your 74In this version, a number of threads are started that execute your
57requests and signal their completion. You don't need thread support 75requests and signal their completion. You don't need thread support

91This is a simple example that uses the Event module and loads
92F</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;

125 };

1178
1179Limit the number of threads (default: 4) that are allowed to idle (i.e.,
1180threads that did not get a request to process within 10 seconds). That
1181means if a thread becomes idle while C<$nthreads> other threads are also
1182idle, it will free its resources and exit.
1183
1184This is useful when you allow a large number of threads (e.g. 100 or 1000)
1185to allow for extremely high load situations, but want to free resources
1186under normal circumstances (1000 threads can easily consume 30MB of RAM).
1187
1188The default is probably ok in most situations, especially if thread
1189creation is fast. If thread creation is very slow on your system you might
1190want to use larger values.
