52		32
53	This module implements asynchronous I/O using whatever means your	33	This module implements asynchronous I/O using whatever means your
54	operating system supports.	34	operating system supports. It is implemented as an interface to C<libeio>
		35	(L<http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libeio.html>).
		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.
55		52

		80	# queue the request to open /etc/passwd
		81	aio_open "/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY, 0, sub {
		82	my $fh = shift
		83	or die "error while opening: $!";
		84
		85	# stat'ing filehandles is generally non-blocking

		634
		635	Quite similar to C<aio_readdir>, but the C<$flags> argument allows to tune

		643
		644	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DENTS
		645
		646	When this flag is off, then the callback gets an arrayref with of names
		647	only (as with C<aio_readdir>), otherwise it gets an arrayref with
		648	C<[$name, $type, $inode]> arrayrefs, each describing a single directory
		649	entry in more detail.
		650
		651	C<$name> is the name of the entry.
		652
		653	C<$type> is one of the C<IO::AIO::DT_xxx> constants:

		657	C<IO::AIO::DT_WHT>.
		658
		659	C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to
		660	know, you have to run stat yourself. Also, for speed reasons, the C<$type>
		661	scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
		662
		663	C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64
		664	bit inode numbers and 32 bit perls). This field has unspecified content on
		665	systems that do not deliver the inode information.
		666
		667	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST
		668
		669	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order where
		670	likely directories come first. This is useful when you need to quickly
		671	find directories, or you want to find all directories while avoiding to
		672	stat() each entry.
		673
		674	If the system returns type information in readdir, then this is used
		675	to find directories directly. Otherwise, likely directories are files
		676	beginning with ".", or otherwise files with no dots, of which files with
		677	short names are tried first.
		678
		679	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_STAT_ORDER
		680
		681	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
		682	suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()
		683	all files in the given directory, then the returned order will likely
		684	be fastest.
		685
		686	If both this flag and C<IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST> are specified, then
		687	the likely dirs come first, resulting in a less optimal stat order.
		688
		689	=item IO::AIO::READDIR_FOUND_UNKNOWN
		690
		691	This flag should not be set when calling C<aio_readdirx>. Instead, it

		693	C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN>. The absense of this flag therefore indicates that all
