Trait tokio::io::AsyncSeek[−][src]

pub trait AsyncSeek {
    fn start_seek(self: Pin<&mut Self>, position: SeekFrom) -> Result<()>;

    fn poll_complete(
        self: Pin<&mut Self>, 
        cx: &mut Context<'_>
    ) -> Poll<Result<u64>>;
}
Expand description

Seek bytes asynchronously.

This trait is analogous to the std::io::Seek trait, but integrates with the asynchronous task system. In particular, the start_seek method, unlike Seek::seek, will not block the calling thread.

Utilities for working with AsyncSeek values are provided by AsyncSeekExt.

Required methods

Attempts to seek to an offset, in bytes, in a stream.

A seek beyond the end of a stream is allowed, but behavior is defined by the implementation.

If this function returns successfully, then the job has been submitted. To find out when it completes, call poll_complete.

Errors

This function can return io::ErrorKind::Other in case there is another seek in progress. To avoid this, it is advisable that any call to start_seek is preceded by a call to poll_complete to ensure all pending seeks have completed.

Waits for a seek operation to complete.

If the seek operation completed successfully, this method returns the new position from the start of the stream. That position can be used later with SeekFrom::Start. Repeatedly calling this function without calling start_seek might return the same result.

Errors

Seeking to a negative offset is considered an error.
