1.3 |
This module implements asynchroneous i/o using the means available to |
12 |
|
|
linux - clone. It does not hook into the POSIX aio_* functions because |
13 |
|
|
linux does not yet support these in the kernel. Instead, a number of |
14 |
|
|
threads are started that execute your read/writes and signal their |
15 |
|
|
completion. |

Set the minimum number of AIO threads to $nthreads. You I<have> to call |
38 |
|
|
this function with a positive number at leats once, otherwise no threads |
39 |
|
|
will be started and you aio-operations will seem to hang. |

=item $fileno = Linux::AIO::poll_fileno |
42 |
|
|
|
43 |
|
|
Return the request result pipe filehandle. This filehandle must be polled |
44 |
|
|
for reading. If the pipe becomes readable you have to call C<poll_cb>. |
45 |
|
|
|
46 |
|
|
=item Linux::AIO::poll_cb |
47 |
|
|
|
48 |
|
|
Process all outstanding events on the result pipe. You have to call this |
49 |
|
|
regularly. Returns the number of events processed. |
50 |
|
|
|

You can use Event to multiplex, e.g.: |
52 |
|
|
|
53 |
|
|
Event->io(fd => Linux::AIO::poll_fileno, |
54 |
|
|
poll => 'r', async => 1, |
55 |
|
|
cb => \&Linux::AIO::poll_cb ); |

root |

=item Linux::AIO::nreqs |
59 |
|
|

Returns the number of requests currently outstanding. |

=item aio_read($fh,$offset,$length, $data,$dataoffset,$callback) |
63 |
|
|
aio_write($fh,$offset,$length, $data,$dataoffset,$callback) |
64 |
|
|
|
65 |
|
|
Reads or writes C<length> bytes from the specified C<fh> and C<offset> |
66 |
|
|
into the scalar given by C<data> and offset C<dataoffset> and calls the |
67 |
|
|
callback without the actual number of bytes read (or undef on error). |
68 |

|
|
69 |
|
|
=item aio_open($pathname, $flags, $mode, $callback) |
70 |
|
|
|
71 |
|
|
Asynchronously open or create a file and call the callback with the |
72 |
|
|
filedescriptor. |
