A runtime for writing reliable network applications without compromising speed. //! //! Tokio is an event-driven, non-blocking I/O platform for writing asynchronous //! applications with the Rust programming language. At a high level, it //! provides a few major components: //! //! * Tools for [working with asynchronous tasks][tasks], including //! [synchronization primitives and channels][sync] and [timeouts, sleeps, and //! intervals][time]. //! * APIs for [performing asynchronous I/O][io], including [TCP and UDP][net] sockets, //! [filesystem][fs] operations, and [process] and [signal] management. //! * A [runtime] for executing asynchronous code, including a task scheduler, //! an I/O driver backed by the operating system's event queue (epoll, kqueue, //! IOCP, etc...), and a high performance timer. //! //! Guide level documentation is found on the [website]. //! //! [tasks]: #working-with-tasks //! [sync]: crate::sync //! [time]: crate::time //!

[website]: https://tokio.rs/tokio/tutorial //! //! # A Tour of Tokio //! //! Tokio consists of a number of modules that provide a range of functionality //! essential for implementing asynchronous applications in Rust. In this //! section, we will take a brief tour of Tokio, summarizing the major APIs and //! their uses. //! //! The easiest way to get started is to enable all features. Do this by //! enabling the `full` feature flag: //! //! ```toml //! tokio = { version = "0.3", features = ["full"] } //! ``` //! //! ### Authoring applications //! //! Tokio is great for writing applications and most users in this case shouldn't //! worry too much about what features they should pick. If you're unsure, we suggest //! going with `full` to ensure that you don't run into any road blocks while you're //! building your application. //! //! #### Example //! //! This example shows the quickest way to get started with Tokio. //! //! ```toml //! tokio = { version = "0.3", features = ["full"] } //! ``` //! //! ### Authoring libraries //! //! As a library author your goal should be to provide the lighest weight crate //! that is based on Tokio. To achieve this you should ensure that you only enable //! the features you need. This allows users to pick up your crate without having //! to enable unnecessary features. //! //! #### Example //! //! This example shows how you may want to import features for a library that just //! needs to `tokio::spawn` and use a `TcpStream`. //! //! ```toml //! tokio = { version = "0.3", features = ["rt", "net"] } //! ``` //! //! ## Working With Tasks //! //! Asynchronous programs in Rust are based around lightweight, non-blocking //! units of execution called [_tasks_][tasks]. The [`tokio::task`] module provides //! important tools for working with tasks: //! //! * The [`spawn`] function and [`JoinHandle`] type, for scheduling a new task //! on the Tokio runtime and awaiting the output of a spawned task, respectively, //! * Functions for [running blocking operations][blocking] in an asynchronous //! task context. //! //! The [`tokio::task`] module is present only when the "rt" feature flag //! is enabled. //! //! [tasks]: task/index.html#what-are-tasks //! [`tokio::task`]: crate::task //! [`spawn`]: crate::task::spawn() //! [`JoinHandle`]: crate::task::JoinHandle //! [blocking]: task/index.html#blocking-and-yielding //! //! The [`tokio::sync`] module contains synchronization primitives to use when //! needing to communicate or share data. These include: //! //! * channels ([`oneshot`], [`mpsc`], and [`watch`]), for sending values //! between tasks, //! * a non-blocking [`Mutex`], for controlling access to a shared, mutable //! value, //! * an asynchronous [`Barrier`] type, for multiple tasks to synchronize before //! beginning a computation. //! //! The `tokio::sync` module is present only when the "sync" feature flag is //! enabled. //! //! [`tokio::sync`]: crate::sync //! [`Mutex`]: crate::sync::Mutex //! [`Barrier`]: crate::sync::Barrier //! [`oneshot`]: crate::sync::oneshot //! [`mpsc`]: crate::sync::mpsc //! [`watch`]: crate::sync::watch //! //! The [`tokio::time`] module provides utilities for tracking time and //! scheduling work. This includes functions for setting [timeouts][timeout] for //! tasks, [sleeping][sleep] work to run in the future, or [repeating an operation at an //! interval][interval]. //! //! In order to use `tokio::time`, the "time" feature flag must be enabled. //! //! [`tokio::time`]: crate::time //! [sleep]: crate::time::sleep() //! [interval]: crate::time::interval() //! [timeout]: crate::time::timeout() //! //! Finally, Tokio provides a _runtime_ for executing asynchronous tasks. Most //! applications can use the [`#[tokio::main]`][main] macro to run their code on the //! Tokio runtime. However, this macro provides only basic configuration options. As //! an alternative, the [`tokio::runtime`] module provides more powerful APIs for configuring //! and managing runtimes. You should use that module if the `#[tokio::main]` macro doesn't //! provide the functionality you need. //! //! Using the runtime requires the "rt" or "rt-multi-thread" feature flags, to //! enable the basic [single-threaded scheduler][rt] and the [thread-pool //! scheduler][rt-multi-thread], respectively. See the [`runtime` module //! documentation][rt-features] for details. In addition, the "macros" feature //! flag enables the `#[tokio::main]` and `#[tokio::test]` attributes. //! //! [main]: attr.main.html //! [`tokio::runtime`]: crate::runtime //! [`Builder`]: crate::runtime::Builder //! [`Runtime`]: crate::runtime::Runtime //! [rt]: runtime/index.html#basic-scheduler //! [rt-multi-thread]: runtime/index.html#threaded-scheduler //! [rt-features]: runtime/index.html#runtime-scheduler //! //! ## CPU-bound tasks and blocking code //! //! Tokio is able to concurrently run many tasks on a few threads by repeatedly //! swapping the currently running task on each thread. However, this kind of //! swapping can only happen at `.await` points, so code that spends a long time //! without reaching an `.await` will prevent other tasks from running. To //! combat this, Tokio provides two kinds of threads: Core threads and blocking //! threads. The core threads are where all asynchronous code runs, and Tokio //! will by default spawn one for each CPU core. The blocking threads are //! spawned on demand, and can be used to run blocking code that would otherwise //! block other tasks from running. Since it is not possible for Tokio to swap //! out blocking tasks, like it can do with asynchronous code, the upper limit //! on the number of blocking threads is very large. These limits can be //! configured on the [`Builder`]. //! //! To spawn a blocking task, you should use the [`spawn_blocking`] function. //! //! [`Builder`]: crate::runtime::Builder //! [`spawn_blocking`]: crate::task::spawn_blocking() //! //! ``` //! #[tokio::main] //! async fn main() { //! // This is running on a core thread. //! //! let blocking_task = tokio::task::spawn_blocking(|| { //! // This is running on a blocking thread. //! // Blocking here is ok. //! }); //! //! // We can wait for the blocking task like this: //! // If the blocking task panics, the unwrap below will propagate the //! // panic. //! blocking_task.await.unwrap(); //! } //! ``` //! //! If your code is CPU-bound and you wish to limit the number of threads used //! to run it, you should run it on another thread pool such as [rayon]. You //! can use an [`oneshot`] channel to send the result back to Tokio when the //! rayon task finishes. //! //! [rayon]: https://docs.rs/rayon //! [`oneshot`]: crate::sync::oneshot //! //! ## Asynchronous IO //! //! As well as scheduling and running tasks, Tokio provides everything you need //! to perform input and output asynchronously. //! //! The [`tokio::io`] module provides Tokio's asynchronous core I/O primitives, //! the [`AsyncRead`], [`AsyncWrite`], and [`AsyncBufRead`] traits. In addition, //! when the "io-util" feature flag is enabled, it also provides combinators and //! functions for working with these traits, forming as an asynchronous //! counterpart to [`std::io`]. //! //! Tokio also includes APIs for performing various kinds of I/O and interacting //! with the operating system asynchronously. These include: //! //! * [`tokio::net`], which contains non-blocking versions of [TCP], [UDP], and //! [Unix Domain Sockets][UDS] (enabled by the "net" feature flag), //! * [`tokio::fs`], similar to [`std::fs`] but for performing filesystem I/O //! asynchronously (enabled by the "fs" feature flag), //! * [`tokio::signal`], for asynchronously handling Unix and Windows OS signals //! (enabled by the "signal" feature flag), //! * [`tokio::process`], for spawning and managing child processes (enabled by //! the "process" feature flag). //! //! [`tokio::io`]: crate::io //! [`AsyncRead`]: crate::io::AsyncRead //! [`AsyncWrite`]: crate::io::AsyncWrite //! [`AsyncBufRead`]: crate::io::AsyncBufRead //! [`std::io`]: std::io //! [`tokio::net`]: crate::net //! [TCP]: crate::net::tcp //! [UDP]: crate::net::UdpSocket //! [UDS]: crate::net::unix //! [`tokio::fs`]: crate::fs //! [`std::fs`]: std::fs //! [`tokio::signal`]: crate::signal //! [`tokio::process`]: crate::process //! //! # Examples //! //! A simple TCP echo server: //! //! ```no_run //! use tokio::net::TcpListener; //! use tokio::prelude::*; //! //! #[tokio::main] //! async fn main() -> Result<(), Box> { //! let listener = TcpListener::bind("127.0.0.1:8080").await?; //! //! loop { //! let (mut socket, _) = listener.accept().await?; //! //! tokio::spawn(async move { //! let mut buf = [0; 1024]; //! //! // In a loop, read data from the socket and write the data back. //! loop { //! let n = match socket.read(&mut buf).await { //! // socket closed //! Ok(n) if n == 0 => return, //! Ok(n) => n, //! Err(e) => { //! eprintln!("failed to read from socket; err = {:?}", e); //! return; //! } //! }; //! //! // Write the data back //! if let Err(e) = socket.write_all(&buf[0..n]).await { //! eprintln!("failed to write to socket; err = {:?}", e); //! return; //! } //! } //! }); //! } //! } //! ``` //! //! ## Feature flags //! //! Tokio uses a set of [feature flags] to reduce the amount of compiled code. It //! is possible to just enable certain features over others. By default, Tokio //! does not enable any features but allows one to enable a subset for their use //! case. Below is a list of the available feature flags. You may also notice //! above each function, struct and trait there is listed one or more feature flags //! that are required for that item to be used. If you are new to Tokio it is //! recommended that you use the `full` feature flag which will enable all public APIs. //! Beware though that this will pull in many extra dependencies that you may not //! need. //! //! - `full`: Enables all Tokio public API features listed below. //! - `rt`: Enables `tokio::spawn`, the basic (current thread) scheduler, //! and non-scheduler utilities. //! - `rt-multi-thread`: Enables the heavier, multi-threaded, work-stealing scheduler. //! - `io-util`: Enables the IO based `Ext` traits. //! - `io-std`: Enable `Stdout`, `Stdin` and `Stderr` types. //! - `net`: Enables `tokio::net` types such as `TcpStream`, `UnixStream` and `UdpSocket`, //! as well as (on Unix-like systems) `AsyncFd` //! - `time`: Enables `tokio::time` types and allows the schedulers to enable //! the built in timer. //! - `process`: Enables `tokio::process` types. //! - `macros`: Enables `#[tokio::main]` and `#[tokio::test]` macros. //! - `sync`: Enables all `tokio::sync` types. //! - `stream`: Enables optional `Stream` implementations for types within Tokio. //! - `signal`: Enables all `tokio::signal` types. //! - `fs`: Enables `tokio::fs` types. //! - `test-util`: Enables testing based infrastructure for the Tokio runtime. //! //! _Note: `AsyncRead` and `AsyncWrite` traits do not require any features and are //! always available._ //! //! ### Internal features //! //! These features do not expose any new API, but influence internal //! implementation aspects of Tokio, and can pull in additional //! dependencies. //! //! - `parking_lot`: As a potential optimization, use the _parking_lot_ crate's //! synchronization primitives internally. MSRV may increase according to the //! _parking_lot_ release in use. //! //!
