Struct mio::event::Event

#[repr(transparent)]pub struct Event { /* fields omitted */ }

A readiness event.

Event is a readiness state paired with a Token. It is returned by Poll::poll.

For more documentation on polling and events, see Poll.

Implementations

impl Event

pub fn token(&self) -> Token

Returns the event's token.

pub fn is_readable(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the event contains readable readiness.

pub fn is_writable(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the event contains writable readiness.

pub fn is_error(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the event contains error readiness.

Error events occur when the socket enters an error state. In this case, the socket will also receive a readable or writable event. Reading or writing to the socket will result in an error.

Notes

Method is available on all platforms, but not all platforms trigger the error event.

The table below shows what flags are checked on what OS.

OS selector	Flag(s) checked
epoll	EPOLLERR
kqueue	EV_ERROR and EV_EOF with fflags set to 0.

pub fn is_read_closed(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the event contains read closed readiness.

Notes

Read closed readiness can be expected after any of the following have occurred:

• The local stream has shutdown the read half of its socket
• The local stream has shutdown both the read half and the write half of its socket
• The peer stream has shutdown the write half its socket; this sends a FIN packet that has been received by the local stream

Method is a best effort implementation. While some platforms may not return readiness when read half is closed, it is guaranteed that false-positives will not occur.

The table below shows what flags are checked on what OS.

OS selector	Flag(s) checked
epoll	EPOLLHUP, or
	EPOLLIN and EPOLLRDHUP
kqueue	EV_EOF

pub fn is_write_closed(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the event contains write closed readiness.

Notes

On epoll this is essentially a check for EPOLLHUP flag as the local stream shutting down its write half does not trigger this event.

On kqueue the local stream shutting down the write half of its socket will trigger this event.

Method is a best effort implementation. While some platforms may not return readiness when write half is closed, it is guaranteed that false-positives will not occur.

The table below shows what flags are checked on what OS.

OS selector	Flag(s) checked
epoll	EPOLLHUP, or
	only EPOLLERR, or
	EPOLLOUT and EPOLLERR
kqueue	EV_EOF

pub fn is_priority(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the event contains priority readiness.

Notes

Method is available on all platforms, but not all platforms trigger the priority event.

The table below shows what flags are checked on what OS.

OS selector	Flag(s) checked
epoll	EPOLLPRI
kqueue	Not supported

pub fn is_aio(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the event contains AIO readiness.

Notes

Method is available on all platforms, but not all platforms support AIO.

The table below shows what flags are checked on what OS.

OS selector	Flag(s) checked
epoll	Not supported
kqueue1	EVFILT_AIO

1: Only supported on DragonFly BSD, FreeBSD, iOS and macOS.

pub fn is_lio(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the event contains LIO readiness.

Notes

Method is available on all platforms, but only FreeBSD supports LIO. On FreeBSD this method checks the EVFILT_LIO flag.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Event

fn clone(&self) -> Event

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Event

When the alternate flag is enabled this will print platform specific details, for example the fields of the kevent structure on platforms that use kqueue(2). Note however that the output of this implementation is not consider a part of the stable API.

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
