//! `Future`-powered I/O at the core of Tokio
//!
//! This crate uses the `futures` crate to provide an event loop ("reactor
//! core") which can be used to drive I/O like TCP and UDP, spawned future
//! tasks, and other events like channels/timeouts. All asynchronous I/O is
//! powered by the `mio` crate.
//!
//! The concrete types provided in this crate are relatively bare bones but are
//! intended to be the essential foundation for further projects needing an
//! event loop. In this crate you'll find:
//!
//! * TCP, both streams and listeners
//! * UDP sockets
//! * Timeouts
//! * An event loop to run futures
//!
//! More functionality is likely to be added over time, but otherwise the crate
//! is intended to be flexible, with the `PollEvented` type accepting any
//! type that implements `mio::Evented`. For example, the `tokio-uds` crate
//! uses `PollEvented` to provide support for Unix domain sockets.
//!
//! Some other important tasks covered by this crate are:
//!
//! * The ability to spawn futures into an event loop. The `Handle` and `Remote`
//! types have a `spawn` method which allows executing a future on an event
//! loop. The `Handle::spawn` method crucially does not require the future
//! itself to be `Send`.
//!
//! * The `Io` trait serves as an abstraction for future crates to build on top
//! of. This packages up `Read` and `Write` functionality as well as the
//! ability to poll for readiness on both ends.
//!
//! * All I/O is futures-aware. If any action in this crate returns "not ready"
//! or "would block", then the current future task is scheduled to receive a
//! notification when it would otherwise make progress.
//!
//! You can find more extensive documentation in terms of tutorials at
//! [https://tokio.rs](https://tokio.rs).
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! A simple TCP echo server:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! extern crate futures;
//! extern crate tokio_core;
//! extern crate tokio_io;
//!
//! use futures::{Future, Stream};
//! use tokio_io::AsyncRead;
//! use tokio_io::io::copy;
//! use tokio_core::net::TcpListener;
//! use tokio_core::reactor::Core;
//!
//! fn main() {
//! // Create the event loop that will drive this server
//! let mut core = Core::new().unwrap();
//! let handle = core.handle();
//!
//! // Bind the server's socket
//! let addr = "127.0.0.1:12345".parse().unwrap();
//! let listener = TcpListener::bind(&addr, &handle).unwrap();
//!
//! // Pull out a stream of sockets for incoming connections
//! let server = listener.incoming().for_each(|(sock, _)| {
//! // Split up the reading and writing parts of the
//! // socket
//! let (reader, writer) = sock.split();
//!
//! // A future that echos the data and returns how
//! // many bytes were copied...
//! let bytes_copied = copy(reader, writer);
//!
//! // ... after which we'll print what happened
//! let handle_conn = bytes_copied.map(|amt| {
//! println!("wrote {:?} bytes", amt)
//! }).map_err(|err| {
//! println!("IO error {:?}", err)
//! });
//!
//! // Spawn the future as a concurrent task
//! handle.spawn(handle_conn);
//!
//! Ok(())
//! });
//!
//! // Spin up the server on the event loop
//! core.run(server).unwrap();
//! }
//! ```
