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] tokio = "0.1.6" tokio-file = "0.5.0" ```
See the examples directory in the repository. In general, any program that's
already using tokio can add file I/O by using tokio_file::File and
running the resulting futures in the tokio reactor.
tokio-file version 0.3 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].
tokio-file is primarily distributed under the terms of both the MIT license
and the Apache License (Version 2.0).
