Crate tokio_timer [−] [src]

Utilities for scheduling work to happen after a period of time.

This crate provides a number of utilities for working with periods of time:

Delay: A future that completes at a specified instant in time.
Interval A stream that yields at fixed time intervals.
Deadline: Wraps a future, requiring it to complete before a specified instant in time, erroring if the future takes too long.

These three types are backed by a Timer instance. In order for Delay, Interval, and Deadline to function, the associated Timer instance must be running on some thread.
