2a5f / tokio-iocp

An IOCP backed runtime for Rust.

tokio-iocp

This crate, inspired by tokio-uring, provides IOCP for Tokio by exposing a new Runtime that is compatible with Tokio but also can drive IOCP-backed resources. Any library that works with Tokio also works with tokio-iocp. The crate provides new resource types that work with IOCP.

Getting started

Using tokio-iocp requires starting a tokio-iocp runtime. This runtime internally manages the main (single-threaded) Tokio runtime and a IOCP driver.

use tokio_iocp::fs::File;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    tokio_iocp::start(async {
        // Open a file
        let file = File::open("hello.txt")?;

        let buf = Vec::with_capacity(4096);
        // Read some data, the buffer is passed by ownership and
        // submitted to the kernel. When the operation completes,
        // we get the buffer back.
        let (res, buf) = file.read_at(buf, 0).await;
        let n = res?;

        // Display the contents
        println!("{:?}", &buf);

        Ok(())
    })
}

Requirements

Windows.

Project status

The tokio-iocp project is still very young. Currently, we are focusing on supporting filesystem and network operations. We are looking forward to your contributions!
