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.
ReadUntil	Future for the read_until method.
Seek	Future for the seek 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.
SeekFrom	Enumeration of possible methods to seek within an I/O object.

Traits

AsyncBufRead	Read bytes asynchronously.
AsyncBufReadExt	An extension trait which adds utility methods to AsyncBufRead types.
AsyncRead	Read bytes asynchronously.
AsyncReadExt	An extension trait which adds utility methods to AsyncRead types.
AsyncSeek	Seek bytes asynchronously.
AsyncSeekExt	An extension trait which adds utility methods to AsyncSeek types.
AsyncWrite	Write bytes asynchronously.
AsyncWriteExt	An extension trait which adds utility methods to AsyncWrite types.
