 In this version, a number of threads are started that execute your
 requests and signal their completion. You don't need thread support
 in perl, and the threads created by this module will not be visible
 to perl. In the future, this module might make use of the native aio
 not well-supported or restricted (GNU/Linux doesn't allow them on normal
 files currently, for example), and they would only support aio_read and
 aio_write, so the remaining functionality would have to be implemented
 using threads anyway.

 =item aioreq_nice $pri_adjust
 Similar to C<aioreq_pri>, but subtracts the given value from the current
 priority, so the effect is cumulative.
 =item aio_open $pathname, $flags, $mode, $callback->($fh)
 Asynchronously open or create a file and call the callback with a newly
 created filehandle for the file.
 list. They are the same as used by C<sysopen>.
 Likewise, C<$mode> specifies the mode of the newly created file, if it
 didn't exist and C<O_CREAT> has been given, just like perl's C<sysopen>,
 except that it is mandatory (i.e. use C<0> if you don't create new files,

+and C<0666> or C<0777> if you do). Note that the C<$mode> will be modified

+change the umask.
 Example:
    aio_open "/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY, 0, sub {
       if ($_[0]) {
       } else {
          die "open failed: $!\n";
       }

+closing the file descriptor associated with the filehandle itself. Here is
+what aio_close will try:
+   1. dup()licate the fd
+   2. asynchronously close() the duplicated fd
+   3. dup()licate the fd once more
+   4. let perl close() the filehandle
+   5. asynchronously close the duplicated fd
+The idea is that the first close() flushes stuff to disk that closing an
+fd will flush, so when perl closes the fd, nothing much will need to be
+flushed.  The second async. close() will then flush stuff to disk that
+closing the last fd to the file will flush.
+Just FYI, SuSv3 has this to say on close:
+   All outstanding record locks owned by the process on the file
+   associated with the file descriptor shall be removed.
+   If fildes refers to a socket, close() shall cause the socket to be
+   destroyed. ... close() shall block for up to the current linger
+   interval until all data is transmitted.
+   [this actually sounds like a specification bug, but who knows]
+And at least Linux additionally actually flushes stuff on every close,
+even when the file itself is still open.
+Sounds enourmously inefficient and complicated? Yes... please show me how

 =item aio_read  $fh,$offset,$length, $data,$dataoffset, $callback->($retval)

 like the syscall).
+If C<$offset> is undefined, then the current file descriptor offset will

+If C<$length> is undefined in C<aio_write>, use the remaining length of C<$data>.
+If C<$dataoffset> is less than zero, it will be counted from the end of
+C<$data>.
 The C<$data> scalar I<MUST NOT> be modified in any way while the request

+the necessary/optional hardware is installed).
 Example: Read 15 bytes at offset 7 into scalar C<$buffer>, starting at
 offset C<0> within the scalar:
    aio_read $fh, 7, 15, $buffer, 0, sub {
       $_[0] > 0 or die "read error: $!";
       print "read $_[0] bytes: <$buffer>\n";
    };
 =item aio_sendfile $out_fh, $in_fh, $in_offset, $length, $callback->($retval)
 Tries to copy C<$length> bytes from C<$in_fh> to C<$out_fh>. It starts
 reading at byte offset C<$in_offset>, and starts writing at the current
 C<$in_fh> than are written, and there is no way to find out how many
 bytes have been read from C<aio_sendfile> alone, as C<aio_sendfile> only
 provides the number of bytes written to C<$out_fh>. Only if the result
 value equals C<$length> one can assume that C<$length> bytes have been
 read.
 =item aio_readahead $fh,$offset,$length, $callback->($retval)
 C<aio_readahead> populates the page cache with data from a file so that
 subsequent reads from that file will not block on disk I/O. The C<$offset>
 file. The current file offset of the file is left unchanged.
 If that syscall doesn't exist (likely if your OS isn't Linux) it will be
 emulated by simply reading the data, which would have a similar effect.
 =item aio_stat  $fh_or_path, $callback->($status)
 =item aio_lstat $fh, $callback->($status)
 Works like perl's C<stat> or C<lstat> in void context. The callback will
    aio_stat "/etc/passwd", sub {
       $_[0] and die "stat failed: $!";
       print "size is ", -s _, "\n";
    };
+=item aio_utime $fh_or_path, $atime, $mtime, $callback->($status)
+Works like perl's C<utime> function (including the special case of $atime
+and $mtime being undef). Fractional times are supported if the underlying
+syscalls support them.
+When called with a pathname, uses utimes(2) if available, otherwise
+utime(2). If called on a file descriptor, uses futimes(2) if available,
+otherwise returns ENOSYS, so this is not portable.
+Examples:
+   # set atime and mtime to current time (basically touch(1)):
+   aio_utime "path", undef, undef;
+   # set atime to current time and mtime to beginning of the epoch:
+   aio_utime "path", time, undef; # undef==0
+=item aio_chown $fh_or_path, $uid, $gid, $callback->($status)
+Works like perl's C<chown> function, except that C<undef> for either $uid
+or $gid is being interpreted as "do not change" (but -1 can also be used).
+Examples:
+   # same as "chown root path" in the shell:
+   aio_chown "path", 0, -1;
+   # same as above:
+   aio_chown "path", 0, undef;
+=item aio_truncate $fh_or_path, $offset, $callback->($status)
+Works like truncate(2) or ftruncate(2).
+=item aio_chmod $fh_or_path, $mode, $callback->($status)
+Works like perl's C<chmod> function.
 =item aio_unlink $pathname, $callback->($status)
 Asynchronously unlink (delete) a file and call the callback with the
 result code.
 =item aio_mknod $path, $mode, $dev, $callback->($status)
 [EXPERIMENTAL]
 Asynchronously create a device node (or fifo). See mknod(2).
 The only (POSIX-) portable way of calling this function is:
    aio_mknod $path, IO::AIO::S_IFIFO | $mode, 0, sub { ...
 =item aio_link $srcpath, $dstpath, $callback->($status)
 Asynchronously create a new link to the existing object at C<$srcpath> at
 the path C<$dstpath> and call the callback with the result code.
 =item aio_symlink $srcpath, $dstpath, $callback->($status)
 Asynchronously create a new symbolic link to the existing object at C<$srcpath> at
 the path C<$dstpath> and call the callback with the result code.
 =item aio_readlink $path, $callback->($link)
 Asynchronously read the symlink specified by C<$path> and pass it to
 the callback. If an error occurs, nothing or undef gets passed to the
 callback.
 =item aio_rename $srcpath, $dstpath, $callback->($status)
 Asynchronously rename the object at C<$srcpath> to C<$dstpath>, just as
 rename(2) and call the callback with the result code.
+=item aio_mkdir $pathname, $mode, $callback->($status)
+Asynchronously mkdir (create) a directory and call the callback with
+the result code. C<$mode> will be modified by the umask at the time the
+request is executed, so do not change your umask.
 =item aio_rmdir $pathname, $callback->($status)
 Asynchronously rmdir (delete) a directory and call the callback with the
 result code.
 =item aio_readdir $pathname, $callback->($entries)
 Unlike the POSIX call of the same name, C<aio_readdir> reads an entire
 directory (i.e. opendir + readdir + closedir). The entries will not be
 sorted, and will B<NOT> include the C<.> and C<..> entries.
 The callback a single argument which is either C<undef> or an array-ref
 with the filenames.
+=item aio_load $path, $data, $callback->($status)
+This is a composite request that tries to fully load the given file into
+memory. Status is the same as with aio_read.

 Try to copy the I<file> (directories not supported as either source or
 destination) from C<$srcpath> to C<$dstpath> and call the callback with

 directory counting heuristic.
