Trait AsyncReadExt
trait AsyncReadExt: AsyncRead
Reads bytes from a source.
Implemented as an extension trait, adding utility methods to all
AsyncRead types. Callers will tend to import this trait instead of
AsyncRead.
use tokio::fs::File;
use tokio::io::{self, AsyncReadExt};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
let mut f = File::open("foo.txt").await?;
let mut buffer = [0; 10];
// The `read` method is defined by this trait.
let n = f.read(&mut buffer[..]).await?;
Ok(())
}
See [module][crate::io] documentation for more details.
Provided Methods
fn chain<R>(self: Self, next: R) -> Chain<Self, R> where Self: Sized, R: AsyncReadCreates a new
AsyncReadinstance that chains this stream withnext.The returned
AsyncReadinstance will first read all bytes from this object until EOF is encountered. Afterwards the output is equivalent to the output ofnext.Examples

File][crate::fs::File]s implementAsyncRead:use tokio::fs::File; use tokio::io::{self, AsyncReadExt}; #[tokio::main] async fn main() -> io::Result<()> { let f1 = File::open("foo.txt").await?; let f2 = File::open("bar.txt").await?; let mut handle = f1.chain(f2); let mut buffer = String::new(); // read the value into a String. We could use any AsyncRead // method here, this is just one example. handle.read_to_string(&mut buffer).await?; Ok(()) }fn read<'a>(self: &'a mut Self, buf: &'a mut [u8]) -> Read<'a, Self> where Self: UnpinPulls some bytes from this source into the specified buffer, returning how many bytes were read.
Equivalent to:
async fn read(&mut self, buf: &mut [u8]) -> io::Result<usize>;This method does not provide any guarantees about whether it completes immediately or asynchronously.
Return
If the return value of this method is
Ok(n), then it must be guaranteed that0 <= n <= buf.len(). A nonzeronvalue indicates that the bufferbufhas been filled in withnbytes of data from this source. Ifnis0, then it can indicate one of two scenarios:- This reader has reached its "end of file" and will likely no longer be able to produce bytes. Note that this does not mean that the reader will always no longer be able to produce bytes.
- The buffer specified was 0 bytes in length.
No guarantees are provided about the contents of
bufwhen this function is called, implementations cannot rely on any property of the contents ofbufbeing true. It is recommended that implementations only write data tobufinstead of reading its contents.Correspondingly, however, callers of this method may not assume any guarantees about how the implementation uses
buf. It is possible that the code that's supposed to write to the buffer might also read from it. It is your responsibility to make sure thatbufis initialized before callingread.Errors
If this function encounters any form of I/O or other error, an error variant will be returned. If an error is returned then it must be guaranteed that no bytes were read.
Cancel safety
This method is cancel safe. If you use it as the event in a
tokio::select!statement and some other branch completes first, then it is guaranteed that no data was read.Examples
[
File][crate::fs::File]s implementRead:use tokio::fs::File; use tokio::io::{self, AsyncReadExt}; #[tokio::main] async fn main() -> io::Result<()> { let mut f = File::open("foo.txt").await?; let mut buffer = [0; 10]; // read up to 10 bytes let n = f.read(&mut buffer[..]).await?; println!("The bytes: {:?}", &buffer[..n]); Ok(()) }fn read_buf<'a, B>(self: &'a mut Self, buf: &'a mut B) -> ReadBuf<'a, Self, B> where Self: Unpin, B: BufMut + ?SizedPulls some bytes from this source into the specified buffer, advancing the buffer's internal cursor.
Equivalent to:
async fn read_buf<B: BufMut>(&mut self, buf: &mut B) -> io::Result<usize>;Usually, only a single
readsyscall is issued, even if there is more space in the supplied buffer.This method does not provide any guarantees about whether it completes immediately or asynchronously.
Return
A nonzero
nvalue indicates that the bufferbufhas been filled in withnbytes of data from this source. Ifnis0, then it can indicate one of two scenarios:- This reader has reached its "end of file" and will likely no longer be able to produce bytes. Note that this does not mean that the reader will always no longer be able to produce bytes.
- The buffer specified had a remaining capacity of zero.
Errors
If this function encounters any form of I/O or other error, an error variant will be returned. If an error is returned then it must be guaranteed that no bytes were read.
Cancel safety
This method is cancel safe. If you use it as the event in a
tokio::select!statement and some other branch completes first, then it is guaranteed that no data was read.Examples

buf.Equivalent to:
async fn read_exact(&mut self, buf: &mut [u8]) -> io::Result<usize>;This function reads as many bytes as necessary to completely fill the specified buffer
buf.Errors
If the operation encounters an "end of file" before completely filling the buffer, it returns an error of the kind
ErrorKind::UnexpectedEof. The contents ofbufare unspecified in this case.If any other read error is encountered then the operation immediately returns. The contents of
bufare unspecified in this case.If this operation returns an error, it is unspecified how many bytes it has read, but it will never read more than would be necessary to completely fill the buffer.
Cancel safety
This method is not cancellation safe. If the method is used as the event in a
tokio::select!statement and some other branch completes first, then some data may already have been read intobuf.Examples
