Crate tokio_reactor
source ·Expand description
Event loop that drives Tokio I/O resources.
The reactor is the engine that drives asynchronous I/O resources (like TCP and
UDP sockets). It is backed by mio
and acts as a bridge between mio
and
futures
.
The crate provides:
-
Reactor
is the main type of this crate. It performs the event loop logic. -
Handle
provides a reference to a reactor instance. -
Registration
andPollEvented
allow third parties to implement I/O resources that are driven by the reactor.
Application authors will not use this crate directly. Instead, they will use the
tokio
crate. Library authors should only depend on tokio-reactor
if they
are building a custom I/O resource.
For more details, see reactor module documentation in the Tokio crate.
