Crate timeout_io[−][src]

About

This library provides a simple timeout-based API for IO-operations.

It provides the following features:

DNS-resolution (currently uses a background-thread)
TCP-accept (uses libselect)
TCP-read/read-until/write (uses libselect)
StdIOE-read/read-write/write (uses libselect)
UDP-receive/send (uses libselect)

All functions are defined as traits, so that you can easily wrap your own IO-channels without breaking compatibility.

Note: We currently do not provide a function for timeout-based connect-calls; use std::net::TcpStream::connect_timeout for TCP-connections or build sth. using io::libselect (and feel free to commit if you do so 😇)

Modules

Traits

Acceptor	A trait for accepting elements, e.g. a TCP-listener
DnsResolvable	A trait for elements which contain a DNS-resolvable address
