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 |

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 |
