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.

TcpListener A TCP socket server, listening for connections.
TcpSocket A TCP socket that has not yet been converted to a TcpStream or TcpListener.
TcpStream A TCP stream between a local and a remote socket.
UdpSocket A UDP socket.
UnixListener A Unix socket which can accept connections from other Unix sockets.
UnixSocket A Unix socket that has not yet been converted to a UnixStream, UnixDatagram, or UnixListener.
UnixStream A structure representing a connected Unix socket.

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