Struct BlockOn

pub struct BlockOn<T>(/* private fields */);

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();

Trait Implementations

impl<T: AsyncBufRead + Unpin> BufRead for BlockOn<T>

fn fill_buf(&mut self) -> Result<&[u8]>

Returns the contents of the internal buffer, filling it with more data from the inner reader if it is empty.

fn consume(&mut self, amt: usize)

Tells this buffer that amt bytes have been consumed from the buffer, so they should no longer be returned in calls to read.

fn has_data_left(&mut self) -> Result<bool, Error>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (buf_read_has_data_left)

Checks if the underlying Read has any data left to be read.

fn read_until(&mut self, byte: u8, buf: &mut Vec<u8>) -> Result<usize, Error>

Reads all bytes into buf until the delimiter byte or EOF is reached.

fn skip_until(&mut self, byte: u8) -> Result<usize, Error>

Skips all bytes until the delimiter byte or EOF is reached.

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

Reads all bytes until a newline (the 0xA byte) is reached, and append them to the provided String buffer.

fn split(self, byte: u8) -> Split<Self>

where Self: Sized,

Returns an iterator over the contents of this reader split on the byte byte.

fn lines(self) -> Lines<Self>

where Self: Sized,
