eio_readahead — Perform file readahead into page cache

### Description

eio_readahead(
mixed `$fd`,
int `$offset`,
int `$length`,
int `$pri` = EIO_PRI_DEFAULT,
callable `$callback` = NULL,
mixed `$data` = NULL
): resource

eio_readahead() populates the page cache with data from a file so that subsequent reads from that file will not block on disk I/O. See `READAHEAD(2)` man page for details.

### Parameters

`fd`
  Stream, Socket resource, or numeric file descriptor
`offset`
  Starting point from which data is to be read.
`length`
  Number of bytes to be read.
`pri`

  The request priority: `EIO_PRI_DEFAULT`, `EIO_PRI_MIN`, `EIO_PRI_MAX`, or `null`. If `null` passed, `pri` internally is set to `EIO_PRI_DEFAULT`.

`callback`

  `callback` function is called when the request is done. It should match the following prototype:

  `void callback(mixed $data, int $result[, resource $req]);`
  `data`

    is custom data passed to the request.

  `result`

    request-specific result value; basically, the value returned by corresponding system call.

  `req`

    is optional request resource which can be used with functions like eio_get_last_error().

`data`
  Arbitrary variable passed to `callback`.

### Return Values

eio_readahead() returns request resource on success, or `false` on failure.
