A wrapper around mio::Poll that helps with sharing time in a single thread. The core of the library is the run() function. run() never returns
and the thread spends the rest of its life collecting events from an MIO poll and dispatching them.
To use the high-level interface:
- Create a BufferedTransport from whatever IO object you want to do IO with
- Create a Notifiable and register it with your BufferedTransport using set_notify()
- Call transportation::run()
- Your notifiable will get notified when there's data. (Your notifiable should keep its own copy of the BufferedTransport so it can get at the
data)
To use the low-level interface:
- Create a type that implements Notifiable
- Register an instance of your type with the reactor using insert_listener()
- Use the usize returned by insert_listener() as an Mio::token() to register with the mio::Poll from borrow_poll(). Get your types from the
re-exported mio crate to ensure the versions match.
- When mio generates events for your token, transportation will call your instance's
notify() function. Get a copy of the current event by calling get_event()
