✨ NAME ✨

AnyEvent::AIO — truly asynchronous file and directory I/O 💅

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for AnyEvent::AIO, which lives in the 3pm section (that's perl module land, iykyk). Let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use AnyEvent::AIO;
use IO::AIO;

# can now use any of the aio requests your IO::AIO module supports
# as long as you use an event loop supported by AnyEvent.

periodt. that's the whole vibe. two lines of use and you're off 💖

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so first things first: this module is an AnyEvent user, which means you gotta make sure you actually use and run an event loop that's supported. no event loop, no magic, fr fr. 🧚

The way that loading this module just installs the necessary magic to seamlessly integrate IO::AIO into AnyEvent… iconic. So you literally no longer need to concern yourself with calling IO::AIO::poll_cb or any of that stuff. You still can if you want — nobody's stopping you — but this module will do it in case you don't. it's giving "I got you bestie" 💅

The AnyEvent watcher can be disabled by executing undef $AnyEvent::AIO::WATCHER. and like… if you do that, please notify the author of when and why you think this was necessary 👀 (yes, for real, they want to know).

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

• AnyEvent
• Coro::AIO — for a more natural syntax. lowkey obsessed with that one if you want the smoother ride 🎀
