Module net

TCP/UDP/Unix bindings for tokio.

This module contains the TCP/UDP/Unix networking types, similar to the standard library, which can be used to implement networking protocols.

Organization

• TcpListener and TcpStream provide functionality for communication over TCP
• UdpSocket provides functionality for communication over UDP
• UnixListener and UnixStream provide functionality for communication over a Unix Domain Stream Socket (available on Unix only)
• UnixDatagram provides functionality for communication over Unix Domain Datagram Socket (available on Unix only)
• tokio::net::unix::pipe for FIFO pipes (available on Unix only)
• tokio::net::windows::named_pipe for Named Pipes (available on Windows only)

For IO resources not available in tokio::net, you can use AsyncFd.
