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.

Modules

• tcpnet
  TCP utility types.
• unixUnix and net
  Unix specific network types.
• windowsWindows and net
  Windows specific network types.

Structs

• TcpListenernet
  A TCP socket server, listening for connections.
• TcpSocketnet
  A TCP socket that has not yet been converted to a TcpStream or TcpListener.
• TcpStreamnet
  A TCP stream between a local and a remote socket.
• UdpSocket
  A UDP socket.
• UnixDatagramUnix and net
  An I/O object representing a Unix datagram socket.
• UnixListenerUnix and net
  A Unix socket which can accept connections from other Unix sockets.
• UnixSocketUnix and net
  A Unix socket that has not yet been converted to a UnixStream, UnixDatagram, or UnixListener.
• UnixStreamUnix and net
  A structure representing a connected Unix socket.

Traits

• ToSocketAddrs
  Converts or resolves without blocking to one or more SocketAddr values.

Functions

• lookup_hostnet
  Performs a DNS resolution.
