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

361 | The resulting absolute offset will be passed to the callback, or -1 |

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

|
|
366 | same, so don't panic. |

|
|
370 | could be found. No guarantees about suitability for use in |
|
|
371 | "aio_seek" or Perl's "sysseek" can be made though, although I would |
|

|
901 | Both calls can be used for a lot of things, some of which make more |
|
|
902 | sense to run asynchronously in their own thread, while some others |
|
|
903 | make less sense. For example, calls that block waiting for external |
|
|
904 | events, such as locking, will also lock down an I/O thread while it |
|
|
905 | is waiting, which can deadlock the whole I/O system. At the same |
|
|
906 | time, there might be no alternative to using a thread to wait. |
|
|
907 | |
|
|
908 | So in general, you should only use these calls for things that do |
|
|
909 | (filesystem) I/O, not for things that wait for other events |
|
|
910 | (network, other processes), although if you are careful and know |

|
1026 | Queries the extents of the given file (by calling the Linux "FIEMAP" |
|
|
1027 | ioctl, see <http://cvs.schmorp.de/IO-AIO/doc/fiemap.txt> for |
|
|
1028 | details). If the ioctl is not available on your OS, then this |
|
|

|
|
1030 | |
|
|
1031 | $start is the starting offset to query extents for, $length is the |
|
|
1032 | size of the range to query - if it is "undef", then the whole file |
|
|
1033 | will be queried. |
|
|
1034 | |
|
|
1035 | $flags is a combination of flags ("IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC" or |
|
|
1036 | "IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAG_XATTR" - "IO::AIO::FIEMAP_FLAGS_COMPAT" is |
|
|

|
|
1038 | query the data portion. |
|
|
1039 | |
|
|
1040 | $count is the maximum number of extent records to return. If it is |
|
|
1041 | "undef", then IO::AIO queries all extents of the range. As a very |
|
|
1042 | special case, if it is 0, then the callback receives the number of |
|
|
1043 | extents instead of the extents themselves (which is unreliable, see |
|
|
1044 | below). |
|
|
1045 | |
|
|
1046 | If an error occurs, the callback receives no arguments. The special |
|
|
1047 | "errno" value "IO::AIO::EBADR" is available to test for flag errors. |
|
|
1048 | |
|
|
1049 | Otherwise, the callback receives an array reference with extent |
|
|
1050 | structures. Each extent structure is an array reference itself, with |

|
1051 | the following members: |
|
|
1052 | |
|
|
1053 | [$logical, $physical, $length, $flags] |
|
|

|
|
1056 | either 0 or "IO::AIO::FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST" (1)): |
|
|
1057 | |
|

|
|
1067 | At the time of this writing (Linux 3.2), this requets is unreliable |

1700 | IO::AIO::splice $r_fh, $r_off, $w_fh, $w_off, $length, $flags |
|
|
1701 | Calls the GNU/Linux splice(2) syscall, if available. If $r_off or |
|
|
1702 | $w_off are "undef", then "NULL" is passed for these, otherwise they |
|
|
1703 | should be the file offset. |
|
|
1704 | |
|
|
1705 | $r_fh and $w_fh should not refer to the same file, as splice might |
|
|
1706 | silently corrupt the data in this case. |
|
|
1707 | |
|
|
1708 | The following symbol flag values are available: |
|
|
1709 | "IO::AIO::SPLICE_F_MOVE", "IO::AIO::SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK", |
|
|
1710 | "IO::AIO::SPLICE_F_MORE" and "IO::AIO::SPLICE_F_GIFT". |

1718 | $actual_size = IO::AIO::pipesize $r_fh[, $new_size] |
|
|
1719 | Attempts to query or change the pipe buffer size. Obviously works |
|
|
1720 | only on pipes, and currently works only on GNU/Linux systems, and |
|
|
1721 | fails with -1/"ENOSYS" everywhere else. If anybody knows how to |
|
|
1722 | influence pipe buffer size on other systems, drop me a note. |
|
|
1723 | |
|
|
1724 | ($rfh, $wfh) = IO::AIO::pipe2 [$flags] |
|
|
1725 | This is a direct interface to the Linux pipe2(2) system call. If |
|
|
1726 | $flags is missing or 0, then this should be the same as a call to |
|
|
1727 | perl's built-in "pipe" function and create a new pipe, and works on |
|
|
1728 | systems that lack the pipe2 syscall. On win32, this case invokes |
|
|
1729 | "_pipe (..., 4096, O_BINARY)". |
|
|
1730 | |
|
|
1731 | If $flags is non-zero, it tries to invoke the pipe2 system call with |
|
|
1732 | the given flags (Linux 2.6.27, glibc 2.9). |
|
|
1733 | |
|
|
1734 | On success, the read and write file handles are returned. |
|
|
1735 | |
|
|
1736 | On error, nothing will be returned. If the pipe2 syscall is missing |
|
|
1737 | and $flags is non-zero, fails with "ENOSYS". |
|
|
1738 | |
|
|
1739 | Please refer to pipe2(2) for more info on the $flags, but at the |
|
|
1740 | time of this writing, "IO::AIO::O_CLOEXEC", "IO::AIO::O_NONBLOCK" |
|
|
1741 | and "IO::AIO::O_DIRECT" (Linux 3.4, for packet-based pipes) were |
|
|
1742 | supported. |
