[−][src]Crate async_option
This crate provides an asynchronous, atomic Option type.
At a high level, this crate is exactly like Arc<Mutex<Option<T>>>, except with support for
asynchronous operations. Given an Aption<T>, you can call poll_put to attempt to place
a value into the Option, or poll_take to take a value out of the Option. Both methods
will return Async::NotReady if the Option is occupied or empty respectively, and will at
that point have scheduled for the current task to be notified when the poll_* call may
succeed in the future. Aption<T> can also be used as a Sink<SinkItem = T> and Stream<Item = T> by effectively operating as a single-element channel.
An Aption<T> can also be closed using poll_close. Any poll_put after a poll_close
will fail, and the next poll_take will return the current value (if any), and from then on
poll_take will return an error.
