		557
		558	When called with a pathname, uses utimes(2) if available, otherwise

		568
		569
		570	=item aio_chown $fh_or_path, $uid, $gid, $callback->($status)

		574
		575	Examples:

		685
		686	C<IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to

		688	scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
		689
		690	C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64

		696	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order where

		698	find directories, or you want to find all directories while avoiding to

		700
		701	If the system returns type information in readdir, then this is used

		707
		708	When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order

		712
		713	If both this flag and C<IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST> are specified, then

		717
		718	This flag should not be set when calling C<aio_readdirx>. Instead, it

		1632
		1633	=item IO::AIO::mprotect $scalar, $offset, $len, $protect
		1634
		1635	Simply calls the C<mprotect> function on the preferably AIO::mmap'ed

		1637	constants are avaiable: C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ>,

		1642
		1643	=item IO::AIO::mmap $scalar, $length, $prot, $flags, $fh[, $offset]
		1644
		1645	Memory-maps a file (or anonymous memory range) and attaches it to the
		1646	given C<$scalar>, which will act like a string scalar.
		1647
		1648	The only operations allowed on the scalar are C<substr>/C<vec> that don't
		1649	change the string length, and most read-only operations such as copying it
		1650	or searching it with regexes and so on.
		1651
		1652	Anything else is unsafe and will, at best, result in memory leaks.
		1653
		1654	The memory map associated with the C<$scalar> is automatically removed
		1655	when the C<$scalar> is destroyed, or when the C<IO::AIO::mmap> or
		1656	C<IO::AIO::munmap> functions are called.
		1657
		1658	This calls the C<mmap>(2) function internally. See your system's manual
		1659	page for details on the C<$length>, C<$prot> and C<$flags> parameters.
		1660
		1661	The C<$length> must be larger than zero and smaller than the actual
		1662	filesize.
		1663
		1664	C<$prot> is a combination of C<IO::AIO::PROT_NONE>, C<IO::AIO::PROT_EXEC>,
		1665	C<IO::AIO::PROT_READ> and/or C<IO::AIO::PROT_WRITE>,
		1666
		1667	C<$flags> can be a combination of C<IO::AIO::MAP_SHARED> or

		1674
		1675	If C<$fh> is C<undef>, then a file descriptor of C<-1> is passed.
		1676
		1677	C<$offset> is the offset from the start of the file - it generally must be
		1678	a multiple of C<IO::AIO::PAGESIZE> and defaults to C<0>.
		1679
