Struct futures_lite::io::BlockOn

pub struct BlockOn<T>(_);

Blocks on all async I/O operations and implements std::io traits.

Sometimes async I/O needs to be used in a blocking manner. If calling future::block_on() manually all the time becomes too tedious, use this type for more convenient blocking on async I/O operations.

This type implements traits Read, Write, or Seek if the inner type implements AsyncRead, AsyncWrite, or AsyncSeek, respectively.

If writing data through the Write trait, make sure to flush before dropping the BlockOn handle or some buffered data might get lost.

Examples

use futures_lite::io::BlockOn;
use futures_lite::pin;
use std::io::Read;

let reader: &[u8] = b"hello";
pin!(reader);

let mut blocking_reader = BlockOn::new(reader);
let mut contents = String::new();

// This line blocks - note that there is no await:
blocking_reader.read_to_string(&mut contents)?;

Implementations

impl<T> BlockOn<T>

pub fn new(io: T) -> BlockOn<T>

Wraps an async I/O handle into a blocking interface.

Examples

use futures_lite::io::BlockOn;
use futures_lite::pin;

let reader: &[u8] = b"hello";
pin!(reader);

let blocking_reader = BlockOn::new(reader);

pub fn get_ref(&self) -> &T

Gets a reference to the async I/O handle.

Examples

use futures_lite::io::BlockOn;
use futures_lite::pin;

let reader: &[u8] = b"hello";
pin!(reader);

let blocking_reader = BlockOn::new(reader);
let r = blocking_reader.get_ref();

pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T

Gets a mutable reference to the async I/O handle.

Examples

use futures_lite::io::BlockOn;
use futures_lite::pin;

let reader: &[u8] = b"hello";
pin!(reader);

let mut blocking_reader = BlockOn::new(reader);
let r = blocking_reader.get_mut();

pub fn into_inner(self) -> T

Extracts the inner async I/O handle.

Examples

use futures_lite::io::BlockOn;
use futures_lite::pin;

let reader: &[u8] = b"hello";
pin!(reader);

let blocking_reader = BlockOn::new(reader);
let inner = blocking_reader.into_inner();

Determines if this Reader can work with buffers of uninitialized memory.

pub fn read_to_end(&mut self, buf: &mut Vec<u8, Global>) -> Result<usize, Error>

Read all bytes until EOF in this source, placing them into buf.

pub fn read_to_string(&mut self, buf: &mut String) -> Result<usize, Error>

Read all bytes until EOF in this source, appending them to buf.

pub fn read_exact(&mut self, buf: &mut [u8]) -> Result<(), Error>

Read the exact number of bytes required to fill buf.

pub fn by_ref(&mut self) -> &mut Self

Creates a “by reference” adaptor for this instance of Read.
