[][src]Module futures::io

Asynchronous I/O.

This module is the asynchronous version of std::io. It defines two traits, AsyncRead and AsyncWrite, which mirror the Read and Write traits of the standard library. However, these traits integrate with the asynchronous task system, so that if an I/O object isn't ready for reading (or writing), the thread is not blocked, and instead the current task is queued to be woken when I/O is ready.

In addition, the AsyncReadExt and AsyncWriteExt extension traits offer a variety of useful combinators for operating with asynchronous I/O objects, including ways to work with them using futures, streams and sinks.

Structs

AllowStdIo

A simple wrapper type which allows types which implement only implement std::io::Read or std::io::Write to be used in contexts which expect an AsyncRead or AsyncWrite.

Close

Future for the close method.

CopyInto

Future for the copy_into method.

Error

The error type for I/O operations of the Read, Write, Seek, and associated traits.

Flush

Future for the flush method.

Initializer

A type used to conditionally initialize buffers passed to AsyncRead methods, modeled after std.

IoVec

A specialized byte slice type for performing vectored I/O operations.

Read

Future for the read method.

ReadExact

Future for the read_exact method.

ReadHalf

The readable half of an object returned from AsyncRead::split.

ReadToEnd

Future for the read_to_end method.

Window

A owned window around an underlying buffer.

WriteAll

Future for the write_all method.

WriteHalf

The writable half of an object returned from AsyncRead::split.

Enums

ErrorKind

A list specifying general categories of I/O error.

Traits

AsyncRead

Read bytes asynchronously.

AsyncReadExt

An extension trait which adds utility methods to AsyncRead types.

AsyncWrite

Write bytes asynchronously.

AsyncWriteExt

An extension trait which adds utility methods to AsyncWrite types.

Type Definitions

Result

A specialized Result type for I/O operations.
