XXII. Direct IO Functions
Introduction
PHP supports the direct io functions as described in the Posix
Standard (Section 6) for performing I/O functions at a lower
level than the C-Language stream I/O functions (fopen(), fread(),..).
The use of the DIO functions should be considered only when
direct control of a device is needed. In all other cases,
the standard filesystem functions are more than adequate.
Note: This extension is not available on Windows platforms.
Requirements
No external libraries are needed to build this extension.
Installation
To get these functions to work, you have to configure PHP
with --enable-dio.
Runtime Configuration
This extension has no configuration directives defined in
php.ini.
Resource Types
One resource type is defined by this extension: a file descriptor
returned by dio_open().
Predefined Constants
This extension has no constants defined.

dio_fcntl -- Performs a c library fcntl on fd
dio_open -- Opens a new filename with specified permissions

dio_read -- Reads n bytes from fd and returns them, if n
is not specified, reads 1k block
dio_seek -- Seeks to pos on fd from whence
dio_stat -- Gets stat information about the file descriptor
fd
dio_tcsetattr -- Sets terminal attributes and baud rate
for a serial port
dio_truncate -- Truncates file descriptor fd to offset bytes
dio_write -- Writes data to fd with optional truncation
