<div class='docblock'><p>Task execution utilities.</p>
<p>In the Tokio execution model, futures are lazy. When a future is created, no
work is performed. In order for the work defined by the future to happen,
the future must be submitted to an executor. A future that is submitted to
an executor is called a &quot;task&quot;.</p>
<p>The executor executor is responsible for ensuring that <a href="https://docs.rs/futures/0.1/futures/future/trait.Future.html#tymethod.poll"><code>Future::poll</code></a> is
called whenever the task is <a href="https://docs.rs/futures/0.1/futures/executor/trait.Notify.html#tymethod.notify">notified</a>. Notification happens when the
internal state of a task transitions from &quot;not ready&quot; to ready. For
example, a socket might have received data and a call to <code>read</code> will now be
able to succeed.</p>
<p>The specific strategy used to manage the tasks is left up to the
executor. There are two main flavors of executors: single-threaded and
multithreaded. This module provides both.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong><a href="current_thread/index.html"><code>current_thread</code></a></strong>: A single-threaded executor that support spawning
tasks that are not <code>Send</code>. It guarantees that tasks will be executed on
the same thread from which they are spawned.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong><a href="thread_pool/index.html"><code>thread_pool</code></a></strong>: A multi-threaded executor that maintains a pool of
threads. Tasks are spawned to one of the threads in the pool and executed.
The pool employs a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_stealing">work-stealing</a> strategy for optimizing how tasks get
spread across the available threads.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="executor-trait" class="section-header"><a href="#executor-trait"><code>Executor</code> trait.</a></h1>
<p>This module provides the <a href="#"><code>Executor</code></a> trait (re-exported from
<a href="#"><code>tokio-executor</code></a>), which describes the API that all executors must
implement.</p>
<p>A free <a href="#"><code>spawn</code></a> function is provided that allows spawning futures onto the
default executor (tracked via a thread-local variable) without referencing a
handle. It is expected that all executors will set a value for the default
executor. This value will often be set to the executor itself, but it is
possible that the default executor might be set to a different executor.</p>
<p>For example, the <a href="current_thread/index.html"><code>current_thread</code></a> executor might set the default executor
to a thread pool instead of itself, allowing futures to spawn new tasks onto
the thread pool when those tasks are <code>Send</code>.</p>

<h2>Search Tricks</h2>
<p>
Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g.
<code>fn:</code>) to restrict the search to a given type.
</p>
<p>
Accepted types are: <code>fn</code>, <code>mod</code>,
<code>struct</code>, <code>enum</code>,
<code>trait</code>, <code>type</code>, <code>macro</code>,
and <code>const</code>.
</p>
<p>
Search functions by type signature (e.g.
<code>vec -> usize</code> or <code>* -> vec</code>)
