Variants (Non-exhaustive)

This enum is marked as non-exhaustive
Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

Implementations

Create a new AddressFamily from an integer value retrieved from libc, usually from the sa_family field of a sockaddr.

Currently only supports these address families: Unix, Inet (v4 & v6), Netlink, Link/Packet and System. Returns None for unsupported or unknown address families.

Gets the TypeId of self. Read more

Immutably borrows from an owned value. Read more

Mutably borrows from an owned value. Read more

Convert Box<dyn Trait> (where Trait: Downcast) to Box<dyn Any>. Box<dyn Any> can then be further downcast into Box<ConcreteType> where ConcreteType implements Trait. Read more

Convert Rc<Trait> (where Trait: Downcast) to Rc<Any>. Rc<Any> can then be further downcast into Rc<ConcreteType> where ConcreteType implements Trait. Read more

Convert &Trait (where Trait: Downcast) to &Any. This is needed since Rust cannot generate &Any’s vtable from &Trait’s. Read more

Convert &mut Trait (where Trait: Downcast) to &Any. This is needed since Rust cannot generate &mut Any’s vtable from &mut Trait’s. Read more

Convert Arc<Trait> (where Trait: Downcast) to Arc<Any>. Arc<Any> can then be further downcast into Arc<ConcreteType> where ConcreteType implements Trait. Read more

Use this to cast from one trait object type to another. Read more

Use this to upcast a trait to one of its supertraits. Read more

Use this to cast from one trait object type to another. This method is more customizable than the dyn_cast method. Here you can also specify the “source” trait from which the cast is defined. This can for example allow using casts from a supertrait of the current trait object. Read more

Use this to cast from one trait object type to another. With this method the type parameter is a config type that uniquely specifies which cast should be preformed. Read more

Compare self to key and return true if they are equal.

Returns the argument unchanged.

Instruments this type with the provided Span, returning an Instrumented wrapper. Read more

Instruments this type with the current Span, returning an Instrumented wrapper. Read more

That is, this conversion is whatever the implementation of From<T> for U chooses to do.
