#![cfg_attr(loom, allow(dead_code, unreachable_pub))] //! Traits, helpers, and type definitions for asynchronous I/O functionality. //! //! This module is the asynchronous version of `std::io`. Primarily, it //! defines two traits, [`AsyncRead`] and [`AsyncWrite`], which are asynchronous //! versions of the [`Read`] and [`Write`] traits in the standard library. //! //! # AsyncRead and AsyncWrite //! //! Like the standard library's [`Read`] and [`Write`] traits, [`AsyncRead`] and //! [`AsyncWrite`] provide the most general interface for reading and writing //! input and output. Unlike the standard library's traits, however, they are //! _asynchronous_ — meaning that reading from or writing to a `tokio::io` //! type will _yield_ to the Tokio scheduler when IO is not ready, rather than //! blocking. This allows other tasks to run while waiting on IO. //! //! Another difference is that `AsyncRead` and `AsyncWrite` only contain //! core methods needed to provide asynchronous reading and writing //! functionality. Instead, utility methods are defined in the [`AsyncReadExt`] //! and [`AsyncWriteExt`] extension traits. These traits are automatically //! implemented for all values that implement `AsyncRead` and `AsyncWrite` //! respectively. //! //! End users will rarely interact directly with `AsyncRead` and //! `AsyncWrite`. Instead, they will use the async functions defined in the //! extension traits. Library authors are expected to implement `AsyncRead` //! and `AsyncWrite` in order to provide types that behave like byte streams. //! //! Even with these differences, Tokio's `AsyncRead` and `AsyncWrite` traits //! can be used in almost exactly the same manner as the standard library's //! `Read` and `Write`. Most types in the standard library that implement `Read` //! and `Write` have asynchronous equivalents in `tokio` that implement //! `AsyncRead` and `AsyncWrite`, such as [`File`] and [`TcpStream`]. //! //! For example, the standard library documentation introduces `Read` by //! [demonstrating][std_example] reading some bytes from a [`std::fs::File`]. We //! can do the same with [`tokio::fs::File`][`File`]: //! //! ```no_run //! use tokio::io::{self, AsyncReadExt}; //! use tokio::fs::File; //! //! #[tokio::main] //! async fn main() -> io::Result<()> { //! let mut f = File::open("foo.txt").await?; //! let mut buffer = [0; 10]; //! //! // read up to 10 bytes //! let n = f.read(&mut buffer).await?; //! //! println!("The bytes: {:?}", &buffer[..n]); //! Ok(()) //! } //! ``` //! //! [`File`]: crate::fs::File //! [`TcpStream`]: crate::net::TcpStream //! [`std::fs::File`]: std::fs::File //! [std_example]: std::io#read-and-write //! //! ## Buffered Readers and Writers //! //! Byte-based interfaces are unwieldy and can be inefficient, as we'd need to be //! making near-constant calls to the operating system. To help with this, //! `std::io` comes with [support for _buffered_ readers and writers][stdbuf], //! and therefore, `tokio::io` does as well. //! //! Tokio provides an async version of the [`std::io::BufRead`] trait, //! [`AsyncBufRead`]; and async [`BufReader`] and [`BufWriter`] structs, which //! wrap readers and writers. These wrappers use a buffer, reducing the number //! of calls and providing nicer methods for accessing exactly what you want. //! //! For example, [`BufReader`] works with the [`AsyncBufRead`] trait to add //! extra methods to any async reader: //! //! ```no_run //! use tokio::io::{self, BufReader, AsyncBufReadExt}; //! use tokio::fs::File; //! //! #[tokio::main] //! async fn main() -> io::Result<()> { //! let f = File::open("foo.txt").await?; //! let mut reader = BufReader::new(f); //! let mut buffer = String::new(); //! //! // read a line into buffer //! reader.read_line(&mut buffer).await?; //! //! println!("{}", buffer); //! Ok(()) //! } //! ``` //! //! [`BufWriter`] doesn't add any new ways of writing; it just buffers every call //! to [`write`](crate::io::AsyncWriteExt::write). However, you **must** flush //! [`BufWriter`] to ensure that any buffered data is written. //! //! ```no_run //! use tokio::io::{self, BufWriter, AsyncWriteExt}; //! use tokio::fs::File; //! //! #[tokio::main] //! async fn main() -> io::Result<()> { //! let f = File::create("foo.txt").await?; //! { //! let mut writer = BufWriter::new(f); //! //! // Write a byte to the buffer. //! writer.write(&[42u8]).await?; //! //! // Flush the buffer before it goes out of scope. //! writer.flush().await?; //! //! } // Unless flushed or shut down, the contents of the buffer is discarded on drop. //! //! Ok(()) //! } //! ``` //! //! [stdbuf]: std::io#bufreader-and-bufwriter //! [`std::io::BufRead`]: std::io::BufRead //! [`AsyncBufRead`]: crate::io::AsyncBufRead //! [`BufReader`]: crate::io::BufReader //! [`BufWriter`]: crate::io::BufWriter //! //! ## Implementing AsyncRead and AsyncWrite //! //! Because they are traits, we can implement [`AsyncRead`] and [`AsyncWrite`] for //! our own types, as well. Note that these traits must only be implemented for //! non-blocking I/O types that integrate with the futures type system. In //! other words, these types must never block the thread, and instead the //! current task is notified when the I/O resource is ready. //! //! ## Conversion to and from Sink/Stream //! //! It is often convenient to encapsulate the reading and writing of //! bytes and instead work with a [`Sink`] or [`Stream`] of some data //! type that is encoded as bytes and/or decoded from bytes. Tokio //! provides some utility traits in the [tokio-util] crate that //! abstract the asynchronous buffering that is required and allows //! you to write [`Encoder`] and [`Decoder`] functions working with a //! buffer of bytes, and then use that ["codec"] to transform anything //! that implements [`AsyncRead`] and [`AsyncWrite`] into a `Sink`/`Stream` of //! your structured data. //! //! [tokio-util]: https://docs.rs/tokio-util/0.3/tokio_util/codec/index.html //! //! # Standard input and output //! //! Tokio provides asynchronous APIs to standard [input], [output], and [error]. //! These APIs are very similar to the ones provided by `std`, but they also //! implement [`AsyncRead`] and [`AsyncWrite`]. //! //! Note that the standard input / output APIs **must** be used from the //! context of the Tokio runtime, as they require Tokio-specific features to //! function. Calling these functions outside of a Tokio runtime will panic. //! //! [input]: fn@stdin //! [output]: fn@stdout //! [error]: fn@stderr //! //! # `std` re-exports //! //! Additionally, [`Error`], [`ErrorKind`], [`Result`], and [`SeekFrom`] are //! re-exported from `std::io` for ease of use. //! //! [`AsyncRead`]: trait@AsyncRead //!
