51=head1 DESCRIPTION 54=head1 DESCRIPTION
52 55
53This module implements asynchronous I/O using whatever means your 56This module implements asynchronous I/O using whatever means your
54operating system supports. 57operating system supports.
58
59Asynchronous means that operations that can normally block your program
60(e.g. reading from disk) will be done asynchronously: the operation
61will still block, but you can do something else in the meantime. This
62is extremely useful for programs that need to stay interactive even
63when doing heavy I/O (GUI programs, high performance network servers
64etc.), but can also be used to easily do operations in parallel that are
65normally done sequentially, e.g. stat'ing many files, which is much faster
66on a RAID volume or over NFS when you do a number of stat operations
67concurrently.
68
69While most of this works on all types of file descriptors (for
70example sockets), using these functions on file descriptors that
71support nonblocking operation (again, sockets, pipes etc.) is very
72inefficient. Use an event loop for that (such as the L<Event|Event>
73module): IO::AIO will naturally fit into such an event loop itself.
55 74
56In this version, a number of threads are started that execute your 75In this version, a number of threads are started that execute your
57requests and signal their completion. You don't need thread support 76requests and signal their completion. You don't need thread support

90=head2 EXAMPLE
91
92This is a simple example that uses the Event module and loads
93F</etc/passwd> asynchronously:
94
95 use Fcntl;
96 use Event;
97 use IO::AIO;
98
99 # register the IO::AIO callback with Event
100 Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
101 poll => 'r',
102 cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
103
104 # queue the request to open /etc/passwd
105 aio_open "/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY, 0, sub {
106 my $fh = shift
107 or die "error while opening: $!";
108
109 # stat'ing filehandles is generally non-blocking
110 my $size = -s $fh;
111
112 # queue a request to read the file
113 my $contents;
114 aio_read $fh, 0, $size, $contents, 0, sub {
115 $_[0] == $size
116 or die "short read: $!";
117
118 close $fh;
119
120 # file contents now in $contents
121 print $contents;
122
123 # exit event loop and program
124 Event::unloop;
125 };
126 };

128 # possibly queue up other requests, or open GUI windows,

330Therefore, C<aio_close> will not close the filehandle - instead it will

332(the pipe fd will be created on demand and will be cached).

432=item aio_utime $fh_or_path, $atime, $mtime, $callback->($status)
433
434Works like perl's C<utime> function (including the special case of $atime
435and $mtime being undef). Fractional times are supported if the underlying
436syscalls support them.
437
438When called with a pathname, uses utimes(2) if available, otherwise
439utime(2). If called on a file descriptor, uses futimes(2) if available,
440otherwise returns ENOSYS, so this is not portable.
441
442Examples:
443
444 # set atime and mtime to current time (basically touch(1)):
445 aio_utime "path", undef, undef;
446 # set atime to current time and mtime to beginning of the epoch:

453or $gid is being interpreted as "do not change" (but -1 can also be used).
454
455Examples:
456
457 # same as "chown root path" in the shell:
458 aio_chown "path", 0, -1;
459 # same as above:
460 aio_chown "path", 0, undef;

1163the maximum amount of time (default C<0>, meaning infinity) spent in
1164C<IO::AIO::poll_cb> to process requests (more correctly the mininum amount
1165of time C<poll_cb> is allowed to use).
1166
1167Setting C<max_poll_time> to a non-zero value creates an overhead of one
1168syscall per request processed, which is not normally a problem unless your
1169callbacks are really really fast or your OS is really really slow (I am
1170not mentioning Solaris here). Using C<max_poll_reqs> incurs no overhead.
1171
1172Setting these is useful if you want to ensure some level of
1173interactiveness when perl is not fast enough to process all requests in
1174time.
1175
1176For interactive programs, values such as C<0.01> to C<0.1> should be fine.

1259Limit the number of threads (default: 4) that are allowed to idle (i.e.,

1261means if a thread becomes idle while C<$nthreads> other threads are also

1264This is useful when you allow a large number of threads (e.g. 100 or 1000)
