# I/O Stream [](https://docs.rs/io-stream/latest/io_stream) [](https://matrix.to/#/#pimalaya:matrix.org)
Set of **I/O-free** Rust coroutines and runtimes to manage streams.
This library allows you to manage streams using an I/O-agnostic approach, based on 3 concepts:
### Coroutine
A coroutine is an *I/O-free*, *resumable* and *composable* state machine that **emits I/O requests**. A coroutine is considered *terminated* when it does not emit I/O requests anymore.
*See available coroutines at [./src/coroutines](https://github.com/pimalaya/io-stream/tree/master/src/coroutines).*
### Runtime
A runtime contains all the I/O logic, and is responsible for **processing I/O requests** emitted by coroutines.
*See available runtimes at [./src/runtimes](https://github.com/pimalaya/io-stream/tree/master/src/runtimes).*
### Loop
The loop is the glue between coroutines and runtimes. It makes the coroutine progress while allowing runtime to process I/O.
## Examples
### Read stdin synchronously
```rust,ignore
use io_stream::{coroutines::Read, runtimes::std::handle};
let mut stdin = std::io::stdin();
let mut arg = None;
let mut read = Read::new();
let output = loop {
match read.resume(arg) {
Ok(output) => break output,
Err(io) => arg = Some(handle(&mut stdin, io).unwrap()),
}
};
// same as &output.buffer[..output.bytes_count]
let bytes = output.bytes();
```
### Write TCP stream asynchronously
```rust,ignore
use tokio::net::TcpStream;
use io_stream::{coroutines::Write, runtimes::tokio::handle};
let mut tcp = TcpStream::connect("127.0.0.1:1234").await.unwrap();
let mut arg = None;
let mut write = Write::new(b"bytes".iter().cloned());
while let Err(io) = write.resume(arg) {
arg = Some(handle(&mut tcp, io).await.unwrap());
}
```
