|
||
<p>This module is the asynchronous version of <code>std::io</code>. Primarily, it
|
||
defines two traits, <a href="../../tokio/io/trait.AsyncRead.html"><code>AsyncRead</code></a> and <a href="../../tokio/io/trait.AsyncWrite.html"><code>AsyncWrite</code></a>, which are asynchronous
|
||
versions of the <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/io/trait.Read.html"><code>Read</code></a> and <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/io/trait.Write.html"><code>Write</code></a> traits in the standard library.</p>
|
||
<h1 id="asyncread-and-asyncwrite" class="section-header"><a href="#asyncread-and-asyncwrite">AsyncRead and AsyncWrite</a></h1>
|
||
<p>Like the standard library's <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/io/trait.Read.html"><code>Read</code></a> and <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/io/trait.Write.html"><code>Write</code></a> traits, <a href="../../tokio/io/trait.AsyncRead.html"><code>AsyncRead</code></a> and
|
||
<a href="../../tokio/io/trait.AsyncWrite.html"><code>AsyncWrite</code></a> provide the most general interface for reading and writing
|
||
input and output. Unlike the standard library's traits, however, they are
|
||
<em>asynchronous</em> — meaning that reading from or writing to a <code>tokio::io</code>
|
||
type will <em>yield</em> to the Tokio scheduler when IO is not ready, rather than
|
||
blocking. This allows other tasks to run while waiting on IO.</p>
|
||
<p>Another difference is that <code>AsyncRead</code> and <code>AsyncWrite</code> only contain
|
||
core methods needed to provide asynchronous reading and writing
|
||
functionality. Instead, utility methods are defined in the <a href="trait@AsyncReadExt"><code>AsyncReadExt</code></a>
|
||
and <a href="trait@AsyncWriteExt"><code>AsyncWriteExt</code></a> extension traits. These traits are automatically
|
||
implemented for all values that implement <code>AsyncRead</code> and <code>AsyncWrite</code>
|
||
respectively.</p>
|
||
<p>End users will rarely interact directly with <code>AsyncRead</code> and
|
||
<code>AsyncWrite</code>. Instead, they will use the async functions defined in the
|
||
extension traits. Library authors are expected to implement <code>AsyncRead</code>
|
||
and <code>AsyncWrite</code> in order to provide types that behave like byte streams.</p>
|
||
<p>Even with these differences, Tokio's <code>AsyncRead</code> and <code>AsyncWrite</code> traits
|
||
can be used in almost exactly the same manner as the standard library's
|
||
<code>Read</code> and <code>Write</code>. Most types in the standard library that implement <code>Read</code>
|
||
and <code>Write</code> have asynchronous equivalents in <code>tokio</code> that implement
|
||
<code>AsyncRead</code> and <code>AsyncWrite</code>, such as <a href="crate::fs::File"><code>File</code></a> and <a href="../../tokio/net/struct.TcpStream.html"><code>TcpStream</code></a>.</p>
|
||
<p>For example, the standard library documentation introduces <code>Read</code> by
|
||
<a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/io/index.html#read-and-write">demonstrating</a> reading some bytes from a <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/fs/struct.File.html"><code>std::fs::File</code></a>. We
|
||
can do the same with <a href="crate::fs::File"><code>tokio::fs::File</code></a>:</p>

<h2 id="buffered-readers-and-writers" class="section-header"><a href="#buffered-readers-and-writers">Buffered Readers and Writers</a></h2>
|
||
<p>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,
|
||
<code>std::io</code> comes with <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/io/index.html#bufreader-and-bufwriter">support for <em>buffered</em> readers and writers</a>,
|
||
and therefore, <code>tokio::io</code> does as well.</p>
|
||
<p>Tokio provides an async version of the <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/io/trait.BufRead.html"><code>std::io::BufRead</code></a> trait,
|
||
<a href="../../tokio/io/trait.AsyncBufRead.html"><code>AsyncBufRead</code></a>; and async <a href="crate::io::BufReader"><code>BufReader</code></a> and <a href="crate::io::BufWriter"><code>BufWriter</code></a> 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.</p>
|
||
<p>For example, <a href="crate::io::BufReader"><code>BufReader</code></a> works with the <a href="../../tokio/io/trait.AsyncBufRead.html"><code>AsyncBufRead</code></a> trait to add
|
||
extra methods to any async reader:</p>

|
||
<p>Because they are traits, we can implement <a href="../../tokio/io/trait.AsyncRead.html"><code>AsyncRead</code></a> and <a href="../../tokio/io/trait.AsyncWrite.html"><code>AsyncWrite</code></a> 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.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="conversion-to-and-from-sinkstream" class="section-header"><a href="#conversion-to-and-from-sinkstream">Conversion to and from Sink/Stream</a></h2>
|
||
<p>It is often convenient to encapsulate the reading and writing of
|
||
bytes and instead work with a <a href="https://docs.rs/futures/0.3/futures/sink/trait.Sink.html"><code>Sink</code></a> or <a href="https://docs.rs/futures/0.3/futures/stream/trait.Stream.html"><code>Stream</code></a> of some data
|
||
type that is encoded as bytes and/or decoded from bytes. Tokio
|
||
provides some utility traits in the <a href="https://docs.rs/tokio-util/0.6/tokio_util/codec/index.html">tokio-util</a> crate that
|
||
abstract the asynchronous buffering that is required and allows
|
||
you to write <a href="https://docs.rs/tokio-util/0.6/tokio_util/codec/trait.Encoder.html"><code>Encoder</code></a> and <a href="https://docs.rs/tokio-util/0.6/tokio_util/codec/trait.Decoder.html"><code>Decoder</code></a> functions working with a
|
||
buffer of bytes, and then use that <a href="https://docs.rs/tokio-util/0.6/tokio_util/codec/index.html">"codec"</a> to transform anything
|
||
that implements <a href="../../tokio/io/trait.AsyncRead.html"><code>AsyncRead</code></a> and <a href="../../tokio/io/trait.AsyncWrite.html"><code>AsyncWrite</code></a> into a <code>Sink</code>/<code>Stream</code> of
|
||
your structured data.</p>
|
||
<h1 id="standard-input-and-output" class="section-header"><a href="#standard-input-and-output">Standard input and output</a></h1>
|
||
<p>Tokio provides asynchronous APIs to standard <a href="fn@stdin">input</a>, <a href="fn@stdout">output</a>, and <a href="fn@stderr">error</a>.
|
||
These APIs are very similar to the ones provided by <code>std</code>, but they also
|
||
implement <a href="../../tokio/io/trait.AsyncRead.html"><code>AsyncRead</code></a> and <a href="../../tokio/io/trait.AsyncWrite.html"><code>AsyncWrite</code></a>.</p>
|
||
<p>Note that the standard input / output APIs <strong>must</strong> 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.</p>
