Crate transportation

This crate provides a thin callback wrapper around MIO. For each thread, a thread_local mio::Poll is maintained. This poll can be accessed with borrow_poll. To listen for events on an Evented, do the following:

use transportation::mio;

let token = transportation::insert_listener(|event| println!("Got event: {:?}"));
transportation::borrow_poll(|poll| poll.register(&evented, mio::Token(token), mio::Ready::readable(), mio::PollOpt::level()));
transportation::run();

Re-exports

pub extern crate mio;

Functions

borrow_poll	Run callback with a reference to the internal MIO poll for the current thread. Transportation keeps a separate poll for every thread and it is appropriate to run transportation from multiple threads simultaneously.
clear_interval	Remove an existing interval. Returns true if an interval was removed or false otherwise.
clear_timeout	Remove an existing timeout before it has occured. Returns true if a timeout was removed or false otherwise.
insert_listener	Insert a listener and return a unique usize value that can be used to register one or more Eventeds with the internal poll for this thread. Note: this callback will never be called unless borrow_poll(|poll| poll.register()) is called with the returned token.
remove_listener	Remove a previously registered listener. Returns true if a listener was removed and false otherwise. Note: The Evented item must still be removed from the poll separately.
run	Blocks the thread by polling on the internal MIO poll, dispatching events to event callbacks and calling set_timeout/set_interval callbacks at the appropriate times. Returns when there are no remaining registered time or event callbacks. Panics if called while transportation is already running in this same thread.
run_in_thread	Run a callback in a remote thread that is owned by transportation. Spins until the remote thread calls run or run_worker. May deadlock if the remote thread doesn't enter the transportation event loop. May return Err(()) if the remote thread has terminated.
run_worker	Exactly the same as run, but does not exit when empty. This is useful for threadpool workers (see run_in_thread)
set_interval	Call callback after interval time has passed, then again once every interval. Returns an identifier that is unique across insert_listener, set_timeout, and set_interval that can be used with the clear_interval function.
set_timeout	Call callback once after timeout has passed. Returns an identifier that is unique across insert_listener, set_timeout, and set_interval that can be used with the clear_timeout function.
stop	Causes the event loop to exit the next time it would iterate. The event loop may be resumed with run() or run_worker()
