313time when the filehandle is destroyed. Normally, you can safely call perls
314C<close> or just let filehandles go out of scope.

329
330Therefore, C<aio_close> will not close the filehandle - instead it will
331use dup2 to overwrite the file descriptor with the write-end of a pipe
332(the pipe fd will be created on demand and will be cached).
333
334Or in other words: the file descriptor will be closed, but it will not be
335free for reuse until the perl filehandle is closed.

459Examples:
460
461 # same as "chown root path" in the shell:

544Quite similar to C<aio_readdir>, but the C<$flags> argument allows to tune
545behaviour and output format. In case of an error, C<$entries> will be
546C<undef>.
547
548The flags are a combination of the following constants, ORed together (the
549flags will also be passed to the callback, possibly modified):
550
551=over 4
552
553=item AIO::READDIR_DENTS
554
555When this flag is off, then the callback gets an arrayref with of names
556only (as with C<aio_readdir>), otherwise it gets an arrayref with
557C<[$name, $inode, $type]> arrayrefs, each describing a single directory
558entry in more detail.
559
560C<$name> is the name of the entry.
561
562C<$inode> is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems with 64
563bit inode numbers and 32 bit perls). On systems that do not deliver the
564inode information, this will always be zero.
565
566C<$type> is one of the C<AIO::DT_xxx> constants:
567
568C<AIO::DT_UNKNOWN>, C<AIO::DT_FIFO>, C<AIO::DT_CHR>, C<AIO::DT_DIR>,
569C<AIO::DT_BLK>, C<AIO::DT_REG>, C<AIO::DT_LNK>, C<AIO::DT_SOCK>,
570C<AIO::DT_WHT>.
571
572C<AIO::DT_UNKNOWN> means just that: readdir does not know. If you need to
573know, you have to run stat yourself. Also, for speed reasons, the C<$type>
574scalars are read-only: you can not modify them.
575
576=item AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST
577
578When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order where
579likely directories come first. This is useful when you need to quickly
580find directories, or you want to find all directories while avoiding to
581stat() each entry.
582
583=item AIO::READDIR_STAT_ORDER
584
585When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an order
586suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan to stat()
587all files in the given directory, then the returned order will likely
588be fastest.
589
590If both this flag and IO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST are specified, then the
591likely dirs come first, resulting in a less optimal stat order.
592
593=item AIO::READDIR_FOUND_UNKNOWN
594
595This flag should not be set when calling C<aio_readdirx>. Instead, it
596is being set by C<aio_readdirx>, when any of the C<$type>'s found were
597C<AIO::DT_UNKNOWN>. The absense of this flag therefore indicates that all
598C<$type>'s are known, which can be used to speed up some algorithms.
