=item Linux::AIO::min_parallel($nthreads) |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Set the minimum number of AIO threads to $nthreads. |

=item aio_read($fh,$offset,$length, $data,$dataoffset,$callback) |
| 36 |
aio_write($fh,$offset,$length, $data,$dataoffset,$callback) |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Reads or writes C<length> bytes from the specified C<fh> and C<offset> |
| 39 |
into the scalar given by C<data> and offset C<dataoffset> and calls the |
| 40 |
callback without the actual number of bytes read (or undef on error). |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
=item $fileno = Linux::AIO::poll_fileno |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Return the request result pipe filehandle. This filehandle must be polled |
| 45 |
for reading. If the pipe becomes readable you have to call C<poll_cb>. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
=item Linux::AIO::poll_cb |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Process all outstanding events on the result pipe. You have to call this |
| 50 |
regularly. Returns the number of events processed. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
=item Linux::AIO::nreqs |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Returns the number of requests currently outstanding. |

=head1 BUGS |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
This module has not yet been extensively tested. Watch out! |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
This module does not use the aio_* posix functions because a) linux does |
| 71 |
not have aio, b) the existing aio_* functions use pthreads, which are too |
| 72 |
buggy for my usage. |
