Struct Handle 

pub struct Handle { /* private fields */ }

A handle to the runtime that can be cloned and sent across threads.

Right now the underlying work queue is thread-local, overtime there might also be a thread-local variant of the handel that can’t be sent to other threads.

Implementations

impl Handle

pub fn block_on<F>(&self, future: F) -> F::Output

where F: Future + Send + 'static, F::Output: Send + Sync,

Run a future, blocking the current thread until its done.

The future might end up running on a different thread, and this thread might make progress on other futures before returning.

pub fn spawn<F>(&self, future: F) -> JoinHandle<F::Output>

where F: Future + Send + 'static, F::Output: Send + Sync,

Spawn a future to run in the background. The future can make progress by any participating thread.

If the runtime doesn’t have any background threads, the JoinHandle should be polled/awaited explicitly.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Handle

fn clone(&self) -> Handle

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.
