This crate provides an async version of [`std`]. It provides all the interfaces you
are used to, but in an async version and ready for Rust's `async`/`await` syntax.

[`std`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/index.html

## Documentation

`async-std` comes with [extensive API documentation][docs] and a [book][book].

[docs]: https://docs.rs/async-std
[book]: https://book.async.rs

## Quickstart

Add the following lines to you `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
async-std = "0.99"
```

Or use [cargo add][cargo-add] if you have it installed:

```sh
$ cargo add async-std
```

[cargo-add]: https://github.com/killercup/cargo-edit

## Hello world

```rust
#![feature(async_await)]

use async_std::task;

fn main() {
    task::block_on(async {
        println!("Hello, world!");
    })
}
```

## Low-Friction Sockets with Built-In Timeouts

```rust
#![feature(async_await)]

use std::time::Duration;

use async_std::{
    prelude::*,
    task,
    io,
    net::TcpStream,
};

async fn get() -> io::Result<Vec<u8>> {
    let mut stream = TcpStream::connect("example.com:80").await?;
    stream.write_all(b"GET /index.html HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n").await?;

    let mut buf = vec![];

    io::timeout(Duration::from_secs(5), async {
        stream.read_to_end(&mut buf).await?
        Ok(buf)
    })
}

fn main() {
    task::block_on(async {
        let raw_response = get().await.expect("request");
        let response = String::from_utf8(raw_response)
            .expect("utf8 conversion");
        println!("received: {}", response);
    });
}
```

## Take a look around
