Core I/O and event loop abstraction for asynchronous I/O in Rust built on
futures
and mio
.
First, add this to your Cargo.toml
:
[dependencies]
tokio-core = "0.1"
Next, add this to your crate:
extern crate tokio_core;
There are a few small examples showing off how to use this library:
This crate is a connection between futures
, a zero-cost implementation of futures in
Rust, and mio
, a crate for zero-cost asynchronous I/O. The types and
structures implemented in tokio-core
implement Future
and Stream
traits
as appropriate. For example, connecting a TCP stream returns a Future
resolving to a TCP stream, and a TCP listener implements a stream of TCP
streams (accepted connections).
This crate also provides facilities such as:
- TCP streams
- TCP listeners
- UDP sockets
- Timeouts
- Data owned and local to the event loop
- An
Executor
implementation for a futures'Task
The intention of tokio-core
is to provide a concrete implementation for crates
built on top of asynchronous I/O. For example you can easily turn a TCP stream
into a TLS/SSL stream with the tokio-tls
crate or use the combinators to
compose working with data on sockets.
