# AnyEvent::AIO(3pm)

truly asynchronous file and directory I/O

## NAME

AnyEvent::AIO - truly asynchronous file and directory I/O

## 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.
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module is an AnyEvent user, you need to make sure that you use and run a supported event loop.

Loading this module will install the necessary magic to seamlessly integrate IO::AIO into AnyEvent, i.e. you no longer need to concern yourself with calling `"IO::AIO::poll_cb"` or any of that stuff (you still can, but this module will do it in case you don't).

The AnyEvent watcher can be disabled by executing `"undef` `$AnyEvent::AIO::WATCHER"`. Please notify the author of when and why you think this was necessary.

## SEE ALSO

AnyEvent, Coro::AIO (for a more natural syntax).
