315 | |
364 | |
|
|
365 | Please note that "aio_sendfile" can read more bytes from $in_fh than |
|
|
366 | are written, and there is no way to find out how many bytes have |
|
|
367 | been read from "aio_sendfile" alone, as "aio_sendfile" only provides |
|
|
368 | the number of bytes written to $out_fh. Only if the result value |
|
|
369 | equals $length one can assume that $length bytes have been read. |
|
|
370 | |
|
|
371 | Unlike with other "aio_" functions, it makes a lot of sense to use |
|
|
372 | "aio_sendfile" on non-blocking sockets, as long as one end |
|
|
373 | (typically the $in_fh) is a file - the file I/O will then be |
|
|
374 | asynchronous, while the socket I/O will be non-blocking. Note, |
|
|
375 | however, that you can run into a trap where "aio_sendfile" reads |
|
|
376 | some data with readahead, then fails to write all data, and when the |
|
|
377 | socket is ready the next time, the data in the cache is already |
|
|
378 | lost, forcing "aio_sendfile" to again hit the disk. Explicit |
|
|
379 | "aio_read" + "aio_write" let's you control resource usage much |
|
|
380 | better. |

420 | To help interpret the mode and dev/rdev stat values, IO::AIO offers |

421 | the following constants and functions (if not implemented, the |

436 | aio_statvfs $fh_or_path, $callback->($statvfs) |
|
|
437 | Works like the POSIX "statvfs" or "fstatvfs" syscalls, depending on |
|
|
438 | whether a file handle or path was passed. |
|
|
439 | |
|

440 | On success, the callback is passed a hash reference with the |

441 | following members: "bsize", "frsize", "blocks", "bfree", "bavail", |
|
|
442 | "files", "ffree", "favail", "fsid", "flag" and "namemax". On |
|
|
443 | failure, "undef" is passed. |
|
|
444 | |
|
|
445 | The following POSIX IO::AIO::ST_* constants are defined: "ST_RDONLY" |
|
|
446 | and "ST_NOSUID". |
|
|
447 | |
|
|
448 | The following non-POSIX IO::AIO::ST_* flag masks are defined to |
|
|
449 | their correct value when available, or to 0 on systems that do not |
|
|
450 | support them: "ST_NODEV", "ST_NOEXEC", "ST_SYNCHRONOUS", |

756 | aio_msync $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef, flags = 0, |
|
|
757 | $callback->($status) |
|
|
758 | This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which only works on |
|
|
759 | mmap(2)ed scalars (see the "IO::AIO::mmap" function, although it |
|
|
760 | also works on data scalars managed by the Sys::Mmap or Mmap modules, |
|
|
761 | note that the scalar must only be modified in-place while an aio |
|
|
762 | operation is pending on it). |
|
|
763 | |
|
|
764 | It calls the "msync" function of your OS, if available, with the |
|
|
765 | memory area starting at $offset in the string and ending $length |
|
|
766 | bytes later. If $length is negative, counts from the end, and if |
|
|
767 | $length is "undef", then it goes till the end of the string. The |
|
|
768 | flags can be a combination of "IO::AIO::MS_ASYNC", |
|
|
769 | "IO::AIO::MS_INVALIDATE" and "IO::AIO::MS_SYNC". |

774 | mmap(2)ed scalars. |
|
|
775 | |
|
|
776 | It touches (reads or writes) all memory pages in the specified range |
|
|
777 | inside the scalar. All caveats and parameters are the same as for |
|
|
778 | "aio_msync", above, except for flags, which must be either 0 (which |
|
|
779 | reads all pages and ensures they are instantiated) or |
|
|
780 | "IO::AIO::MT_MODIFY", which modifies the memory page s(by reading |
|
|
781 | and writing an octet from it, which dirties the page). |

783 | aio_mlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef, $callback->($status) |
|

784 | This is a rather advanced IO::AIO call, which works best on |
|
|
785 | mmap(2)ed scalars. |
|
|
786 | |
|
|
787 | It reads in all the pages of the underlying storage into memory (if |
|
|
788 | any) and locks them, so they are not getting swapped/paged out or |
|
|
789 | removed. |
|
|
790 | |
|
|
791 | If $length is undefined, then the scalar will be locked till the |
|
|
792 | end. |
|
|
793 | |
|
|
794 | On systems that do not implement "mlock", this function returns -1 |
|
|
795 | and sets errno to "ENOSYS". |
|
|
796 | |
|
|
797 | Note that the corresponding "munlock" is synchronous and is |
|
|
798 | documented under "MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS". |
|

799 | |
|
|
800 | Example: open a file, mmap and mlock it - both will be undone when |

|
|
1267 | If $fh is "undef", then a file descriptor of -1 is passed. |

1285 | IO::AIO::munmap $scalar |
|
|
1286 | Removes a previous mmap and undefines the $scalar. |
|
|
1287 | |
|
|
1288 | IO::AIO::munlock $scalar, $offset = 0, $length = undef |
|
|
1289 | Calls the "munlock" function, undoing the effects of a previous |
|
|
1290 | "aio_mlock" call (see its description for details). |
|
|
1291 | |
|
|
1292 | IO::AIO::munlockall |
|
|
1293 | Calls the "munlockall" function. |
|
|
1294 | |
|
|
1295 | On systems that do not implement "munlockall", this function returns |
|
|
1296 | ENOSYS, otherwise the return value of "munlockall". |

1298 | EVENT LOOP INTEGRATION |
|
|
1299 | It is recommended to use AnyEvent::AIO to integrate IO::AIO |
|
|
1300 | automatically into many event loops: |
|
|
1301 | |
|
|
1302 | # AnyEvent integration (EV, Event, Glib, Tk, POE, urxvt, pureperl...) |
|
|
1303 | use AnyEvent::AIO; |
|
|
1304 | |
|
|
1305 | You can also integrate IO::AIO manually into many event loops, here are |
|
|
1306 | some examples of how to do this: |
|
|
1307 | |
|
|
1308 | # EV integration |
|
|
1309 | my $aio_w = EV::io IO::AIO::poll_fileno, EV::READ, \&IO::AIO::poll_cb; |
|
|
1310 | |
|
|
1311 | # Event integration |
|
|
1312 | Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno, |
|
|
1313 | poll => 'r', |
|
|
1314 | cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb); |
|
|
1315 | |
|
|
1316 | # Glib/Gtk2 integration |
|
|
1317 | add_watch Glib::IO IO::AIO::poll_fileno, |
|
|
1318 | in => sub { IO::AIO::poll_cb; 1 }; |
|
|
1319 | |
|
|
1320 | # Tk integration |
|
|
1321 | Tk::Event::IO->fileevent (IO::AIO::poll_fileno, "", |
|
|
1322 | readable => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb); |
|
|
1323 | |
|
|
1324 | # Danga::Socket integration |
|
|
1325 | Danga::Socket->AddOtherFds (IO::AIO::poll_fileno => |
|
|
1326 | \&IO::AIO::poll_cb); |
