Module fibers::net [−] [src]

Networking primitives for TCP/UDP communication.

Implementation Details

Basically, the structures in this module are simple wrapper of the mio's counterparts. The former implement futures interface to facilitate writing code for asynchronous I/O.

If a socket is not available (i.e., may block) at the time the Future::poll method for the corresponding future is called, it will suspend (deschedule) current fiber by invoking the fibers::fiber::park function. Then it sends a request to a mio::Poll to monitor an event that indicates the socket becomes available. After that, when the event happens, the fiber will be resumed and rescheduled for next execution.
