Struct tokio_core::reactor::Remote [] [src]

pub struct Remote { /* fields omitted */ }

Handle to an event loop, used to construct I/O objects, send messages, and otherwise interact indirectly with the event loop itself.

Handles can be cloned, and when cloned they will still refer to the same underlying event loop.

Methods

impl Remote
[src]

Spawns a new future into the event loop this remote is associated with.

This function takes a closure which is executed within the context of the I/O loop itself. The future returned by the closure will be scheduled on the event loop an run to completion.

Note that while the closure, F, requires the Send bound as it might cross threads, the future R does not.

Return the ID of the represented Core

Attempts to "promote" this remote to a handle, if possible.

This function is intended for structures which typically work through a Remote but want to optimize runtime when the remote doesn't actually leave the thread of the original reactor. This will attempt to return a handle if the Remote is on the same thread as the event loop and the event loop is running.

If this Remote has moved to a different thread or if the event loop is running, then None may be returned. If you need to guarantee access to a Handle, then you can call this function and fall back to using spawn above if it returns None.
