353 | aio_seek $fh, $offset, $whence, $callback->($offs) |
|
|
354 | Seeks the filehandle to the new $offset, similarly to perl's |
|
|
355 | "sysseek". The $whence can use the traditional values (0 for |
|
|
356 | "IO::AIO::SEEK_SET", 1 for "IO::AIO::SEEK_CUR" or 2 for |
|
|
357 | "IO::AIO::SEEK_END"). |

362 | In theory, the $whence constants could be different than the |

|
|
364 | same, so don't panic. |
|
|
365 | |
|
|
366 | As a GNU/Linux (and maybe Solaris) extension, also the constants |
|
|
367 | "IO::AIO::SEEK_DATA" and "IO::AIO::SEEK_HOLE" are available, if they |
|
|
368 | could be found. No guarantees about suitability for use in |
|
|
369 | "aio_seek" or Perl's "sysseek" can be made though, although I would |
|
|
370 | naively assume they "just work". |

|
|
654 | |
|

655 | $mode is usually 0 or "IO::AIO::FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE" to allocate |

|
657 | IO::AIO::FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE", to deallocate a file range. |
|
|
658 | |
|
|
659 | IO::AIO also supports "FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE", to remove a range |
|
|
660 | (without leaving a hole) and "FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE", to zero a range |
|
|
661 | (see your fallocate(2) manpage). |

1005 | aio_fiemap $fh, $start, $length, $flags, $count, $cb->(\@extents) |
|
|
1006 | Queries the extents of the given file (by calling the Linux "FIEMAP" |
|
|
1007 | ioctl, see <http://cvs.schmorp.de/IO-AIO/doc/fiemap.txt> for |
|
|
1008 | details). If the ioctl is not available on your OS, then this |

|
|
1010 | |
|
|
1011 | $start is the starting offset to query extents for, $length is the |
|
|
1012 | size of the range to query - if it is "undef", then the whole file |
|
|
1013 | will be queried. |
|
|
1014 | |
|
|
1015 | $flags is a combination of flags ("IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC" or |
|
|
1016 | "IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAG_XATTR" - "IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAGS_COMPAT" is |

|
|
1019 | |
|
|
1020 | $count is the maximum number of extent records to return. If it is |
|
|
1021 | "undef", then IO::AIO queries all extents of the range. As a very |
|
|
1022 | special case, if it is 0, then the callback receives the number of |
|
|
1023 | extents instead of the extents themselves (which is unreliable, see |

1024 | below). |
|
|
1025 | |
|
|
1026 | If an error occurs, the callback receives no arguments. The special |

|
1028 | |
|
|
1029 | Otherwise, the callback receives an array reference with extent |

1680 | IO::AIO::splice $r_fh, $r_off, $w_fh, $w_off, $length, $flags |
|
|
1681 | Calls the GNU/Linux splice(2) syscall, if available. If $r_off or |
|
|
1682 | $w_off are "undef", then "NULL" is passed for these, otherwise they |
|
|
1683 | should be the file offset. |
|
|
1684 | |
|
|
1685 | $r_fh and $w_fh should not refer to the same file, as splice might |
|
|
1686 | silently corrupt the data in this case. |
|
|
1687 | |
|
|
1688 | The following symbol flag values are available: |
|
|
1689 | "IO::AIO::SPLICE_F_MOVE", "IO::AIO::SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK", |
|
|
1690 | "IO::AIO::SPLICE_F_MORE" and "IO::AIO::SPLICE_F_GIFT". |

1698 | $actual_size = IO::AIO::pipesize $r_fh[, $new_size] |
|
|
1699 | Attempts to query or change the pipe buffer size. Obviously works |
|
|
1700 | only on pipes, and currently works only on GNU/Linux systems, and |
|
|
1701 | fails with -1/"ENOSYS" everywhere else. If anybody knows how to |
|
|
1702 | influence pipe buffer size on other systems, drop me a note. |
|
|
1703 | |
|
|
1704 | ($rfh, $wfh) = IO::AIO::pipe2 [$flags] |
|
|
1705 | This is a direct interface to the Linux pipe2(2) system call. If |
|
|
1706 | $flags is missing or 0, then this should be the same as a call to |
|
|
1707 | perl's built-in "pipe" function and create a new pipe, and works on |
|
|
1708 | systems that lack the pipe2 syscall. On win32, this case invokes |
|
|
1709 | "_pipe (..., 4096, O_BINARY)". |
|
|
1710 | |
|
|
1711 | If $flags is non-zero, it tries to invoke the pipe2 system call with |
|
|
1712 | the given flags (Linux 2.6.27, glibc 2.9). |
|
|
1713 | |
|
|
1714 | On success, the read and write file handles are returned. |
|
|
1715 | |
|
|
1716 | On error, nothing will be returned. If the pipe2 syscall is missing |
|
|
1717 | and $flags is non-zero, fails with "ENOSYS". |
|
|
1718 | |
|
|
1719 | Please refer to pipe2(2) for more info on the $flags, but at the |
|
|
1720 | time of this writing, "IO::AIO::O_CLOEXEC", "IO::AIO::O_NONBLOCK" |
|
|
1721 | and "IO::AIO::O_DIRECT" (Linux 3.4, for packet-based pipes) were |
|
|
1722 | supported. |
