A library for integrating file I/O with [tokio]. File I/O can be seamlessly mixed with all other Future types within the Tokio reactor.
```toml
[depdendencies] mio-aio = "0.1" mio = "0.6.9" nix = "0.9" tokio-core = "0.1.9" ```
See the examples
directory in the repository. In general, any program that's
already using tokio-core
can add file I/O by using tokio_file::File
and
running the resulting futures in the tokio reactor.
tokio-file
version 0.1 works on FreeBSD, using the mio-aio
crate.. It will
probably also work on DragonflyBSD and OSX. It does not work on Linux. The
tokio-file
API can be supported on Linux, but it will need a completely
different backend. Instead of using POSIX AIO as mio-aio
does, Linux will
need a mio-libaio
crate, that uses Linux's nonstandard libaio with an eventfd
for notifications. That's the approach taken by [seastar].
