A small and fast async runtime
Documentation
//! A small and fast async runtime.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! Connect to an HTTP website, make a GET request, and pipe the response to the standard output:
//!
//! ```
//! use smol::{io, net, prelude::*, Unblock};
//!
//! fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
//!     smol::block_on(async {
//!         let mut stream = net::TcpStream::connect("example.com:80").await?;
//!         let req = b"GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: example.com\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n";
//!         stream.write_all(req).await?;
//!
//!         let mut stdout = Unblock::new(std::io::stdout());
//!         io::copy(&stream, &mut stdout).await?;
//!         Ok(())
//!     })
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! This example uses the [`net`] module for networking, but you can also use the primitive
//! [`Async`] type. See the [full code][get-request].
//!
//! Look inside the [examples] directory for more.

/// Spawns a task onto the global executor (single-threaded by default).

/// There is a global executor that gets lazily initialized on first use. It is included in this
/// library for convenience when writing unit tests and small programs, but it is otherwise
/// more advisable to create your own [`Executor`].
///
/// By default, the global executor is run by a single background thread, but you can also
/// configure the number of threads by setting the `SMOL_THREADS` environment variable.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// let task = smol::spawn(async {
///     1 + 2
/// });
///
/// smol::block_on(async {
///     assert_eq!(task.await, 3);
/// });
