Struct hypercore_protocol::Extension

pub struct Extension { /* fields omitted */ }

A protocol extension.

An extension can be registered on either the Protocol stream or on any Channel. An extension is identified by a string. When both peers open an extension with the same name, the extensions are connected. Then, they function as a binary duplex stream. The stream is fully encrypted, but there’s no authentication performed on individual messages.

The Extension struct implements both AsyncRead and AsyncWrite and is also a Stream. You should use the extension either as a stream or as an async reader; if being used as both, the messages would appear in either poll randomly.

Implementations

impl Extension

pub async fn send(&self, message: Vec<u8>)

Send a message

Trait Implementations

impl AsyncRead for Extension

fn poll_read(
    self: Pin<&mut Self>,
    cx: &mut Context<'_>,
    buf: &mut [u8]
) -> Poll<Result<usize>>

Attempt to read from the AsyncRead into buf.

fn poll_read_vectored(
    self: Pin<&mut Self>,
    cx: &mut Context<'_>,
    bufs: &mut [IoSliceMut<'_>]
) -> Poll<Result<usize, Error>>

Attempt to read from the AsyncRead into bufs using vectored IO operations.

impl AsyncWrite for Extension

fn poll_write(
    self: Pin<&mut Self>,
    cx: &mut Context<'_>,
    buf: &[u8]
) -> Poll<Result<usize>>

Attempt to write bytes from buf into the object.

fn poll_flush(self: Pin<&mut Self>, _cx: &mut Context<'_>) -> Poll<Result<()>>

Attempt to flush the object, ensuring that any buffered data reach their destination.

fn poll_close(self: Pin<&mut Self>, _cx: &mut Context<'_>) -> Poll<Result<()>>

Attempt to close the object.

fn poll_write_vectored(
    self: Pin<&mut Self>,
    cx: &mut Context<'_>,
    bufs: &[IoSlice<'_>]
) -> Poll<Result<usize, Error>>

Attempt to write bytes from bufs into the object using vectored IO operations.

impl Clone for Extension

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Returns a copy of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Extension

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Stream for Extension

type Item = Vec<u8>

Values yielded by the stream.

fn poll_next(
    self: Pin<&mut Self>,
    cx: &mut Context<'_>
) -> Poll<Option<Self::Item>>

Attempt to pull out the next value of this stream, registering the current task for wakeup if the value is not yet available, and returning None if the stream is exhausted.

fn size_hint(&self) -> (usize, Option<usize>)

Returns the bounds on the remaining length of the stream.
