Module tokio 

Available on crate feature tokio_support only.

Asynchronous local sockets which work with the Tokio runtime and event loop.

The Tokio integration allows the local socket streams and listeners to be notified by the OS kernel whenever they’re ready to be read from of written to, instead of spawning threads just to put them in a wait state of blocking on the I/O.

Types from this module will not work with other async runtimes, such as async-std or smol, since the Tokio types’ methods will panic whenever they’re called outside of a Tokio runtime context. Open an issue if you’d like to see other runtimes supported as well.
