Expand description

A fast, low-level IO library for Rust focusing on non-blocking APIs, event notification, and other useful utilities for building high performance IO apps.

§Features

  • Non-blocking TCP, UDP
  • I/O event notification queue backed by epoll, kqueue, and IOCP
  • Zero allocations at runtime
  • Platform specific extensions

§Non-goals

The following are specifically omitted from Mio and are left to the user or higher-level libraries.

  • File operations
  • Thread pools / multi-threaded event loop
  • Timers

§Platforms

Currently supported platforms:

  • Linux
  • OS X
  • Windows
  • FreeBSD
  • NetBSD
  • Android
  • iOS

mio can handle interfacing with each of the event notification systems of the aforementioned platforms. The details of their implementation are further discussed in Poll.

§Usage

Using mio starts by creating a Poll, which reads events from the OS and put them into Events. You can handle IO events from the OS with it.

For more detail, see Poll.
