269 | 1. dup()licate the fd |
271 | Therefore, "aio_close" will not close the filehandle - instead it |

|
|
278 | stuff to disk that closing the last fd to the file will flush. |
|
|
279 | |
|
|
280 | Just FYI, SuSv3 has this to say on close: |
|
|
281 | |
|
|
282 | All outstanding record locks owned by the process on the file |
|
|
283 | associated with the file descriptor shall be removed. |
|
|
284 | |
|
|
285 | If fildes refers to a socket, close() shall cause the socket to be |
|
|
286 | destroyed. ... close() shall block for up to the current linger |
|
|
287 | interval until all data is transmitted. |
|
|
288 | [this actually sounds like a specification bug, but who knows] |
|
|
289 | |
|
|
290 | And at least Linux additionally actually flushes stuff on every |
|
|
291 | close, even when the file itself is still open. |
|
|

|
|
450 | aio_readdirx $pathname, $flags, $callback->($entries, $flags) |
|
|
451 | Quite similar to "aio_readdir", but the $flags argument allows to |
|
|
452 | tune behaviour and output format. In case of an error, $entries will |
|
|
453 | be "undef". |
|
|
454 | |
|
|
455 | The flags are a combination of the following constants, ORed |
|
|
456 | together (the flags will also be passed to the callback, possibly |
|
|
457 | modified): |
|
|
458 | |
|
|
459 | IO::AIO::READDIR_DENTS |
|
|
460 | When this flag is off, then the callback gets an arrayref with |
|
|
461 | of names only (as with "aio_readdir"), otherwise it gets an |
|
|
462 | arrayref with "[$name, $type, $inode]" arrayrefs, each |
|
|
463 | describing a single directory entry in more detail. |
|
|
464 | |
|
|
465 | $name is the name of the entry. |
|
|
466 | |
|
|
467 | $type is one of the "IO::AIO::DT_xxx" constants: |
|
|
468 | |
|
|
469 | "IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN", "IO::AIO::DT_FIFO", "IO::AIO::DT_CHR", |
|
|
470 | "IO::AIO::DT_DIR", "IO::AIO::DT_BLK", "IO::AIO::DT_REG", |
|
|
471 | "IO::AIO::DT_LNK", "IO::AIO::DT_SOCK", "IO::AIO::DT_WHT". |
|
|
472 | |
|
|
473 | "IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN" means just that: readdir does not know. If |
|
|
474 | you need to know, you have to run stat yourself. Also, for speed |
|
|
475 | reasons, the $type scalars are read-only: you can not modify |
|
|
476 | them. |
|
|
477 | |
|
|
478 | $inode is the inode number (which might not be exact on systems |
|
|
479 | with 64 bit inode numbers and 32 bit perls). On systems that do |
|
|
480 | not deliver the inode information, this will always be zero. |
|
|
481 | |
|
|
482 | IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST |
|
|
483 | When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an |
|
|
484 | order where likely directories come first. This is useful when |
|
|
485 | you need to quickly find directories, or you want to find all |
|
|
486 | directories while avoiding to stat() each entry. |
|
|
487 | |
|
|
488 | If the system returns type information in readdir, then this is |
|
|
489 | used to find directories directly. Otherwise, likely directories |
|
|
490 | are files beginning with ".", or otherwise files with no dots, |
|
|
491 | of which files with short names are tried first. |
|
|
492 | |
|
|
493 | IO::AIO::READDIR_STAT_ORDER |
|
|
494 | When this flag is set, then the names will be returned in an |
|
|
495 | order suitable for stat()'ing each one. That is, when you plan |
|
|
496 | to stat() all files in the given directory, then the returned |
|
|
497 | order will likely be fastest. |
|
|
498 | |
|
|
499 | If both this flag and "IO::AIO::READDIR_DIRS_FIRST" are |
|
|
500 | specified, then the likely dirs come first, resulting in a less |
|
|
501 | optimal stat order. |
|
|
502 | |
|
|
503 | IO::AIO::READDIR_FOUND_UNKNOWN |
|
|
504 | This flag should not be set when calling "aio_readdirx". |
|
|
505 | Instead, it is being set by "aio_readdirx", when any of the |
|
|
506 | $type's found were "IO::AIO::DT_UNKNOWN". The absense of this |
|
|
507 | flag therefore indicates that all $type's are known, which can |
|
|
508 | be used to speed up some algorithms. |
