34 Linux::AIO::max_parallel $nthreads
35 Sets the maximum number of AIO threads to $nthreads. If more than
36 the specified number of threads are currently running, kill them.
37 This function blocks until the limit is reached.
38
39 This module automatically runs "max_parallel 0" at program end, to
40 ensure that all threads are killed and that there are no outstanding
41 requests.

61 Wait till the result filehandle becomes ready for reading (simply
62 does a select on the filehandle. This is useful if you want to
63 synchronously wait for some requests to finish).
