		662
		663	C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to

		665	scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
		666
		667	C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64

		677
		678	If the system returns type information in readdir, then this is used

		682

		684
		685	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
		686	suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()
		687	all files in the given directory, then the returned order will likely

		689
		690	If both this flag and C<IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST> are specified, then

		1575
		1576	Calls the C<eio_sendfile_sync> function, which is like C<aio_sendfile>,
		1577	but is blocking (this makes most sense if you know the input data is
		1578	likely cached already and the output filehandle is set to non-blocking

		1581	Returns the number of bytes copied, or C<-1> on error.
		1582
		1583	=item IO::AIO::fadvise $fh, $offset, $len, $advice
		1584
		1585	Simply calls the C<posix_fadvise> function (see it's
		1586	manpage for details). The following advice constants are
		1587	avaiable: C<IO::AIO::FADV_NORMAL>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_SEQUENTIAL>,
		1588	C<IO::AIO::FADV_RANDOM>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_NOREUSE>,
		1589	C<IO::AIO::FADV_WILLNEED>, C<IO::AIO::FADV_DONTNEED>.
		1590
		1591	On systems that do not implement C<posix_fadvise>, this function returns

		1593
		1594	=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
		1595
		1596	Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
		1597	given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar.
		1598
		1599	The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
		1600	change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
		1601	or searching it with regexes and so on.
		1602
		1603	Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
		1604
		1605	The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
		1606	when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
		1607	C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
		1608
		1609	This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
		1610	page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
		1611
		1612	The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
		1613	filesize.
		1614
		1615	C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
		1616	C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
		1617
		1618	C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or
		1619	C<IO::AIO::MAP_PRIVATE>, or a number of system-specific flags (when
		1620	not available, the are defined as 0): C<IO::AIO::MAP_ANONYMOUS>
		1621	(which is set to C<MAP_ANON> if your system only provides this
		1622	constant), C<IO::AIO::MAP_HUGETLB>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_LOCKED>,
		1623	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NORESERVE>, C<IO::AIO::MAP_POPULATE> or
		1624	C<IO::AIO::MAP_NONBLOCK>
		1625
		1626	If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
		1627
		1628	C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
		1629	a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
