<div class='docblock'><p>Event loop that drives Tokio I/O resources.</p>
<p>This module contains <a href="struct.Reactor.html"><code>Reactor</code></a>, which is the event loop that drives all
Tokio I/O resources. It is the reactor's job to receive events from the
operating system (<a href="http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/epoll.7.html">epoll</a>, <a href="https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=kqueue&amp;sektion=2">kqueue</a>, <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365198(v=vs.85).aspx">IOCP</a>, etc...) and forward them to
waiting tasks. It is the bridge between operating system and the futures
model.</p>
<h1 id="overview" class="section-header"><a href="#overview">Overview</a></h1>
<p>When using Tokio, all operations are asynchronous and represented by
futures. These futures, representing the application logic, are scheduled by
an executor (see <a href="https://tokio.rs/docs/getting-started/runtime-model/">runtime model</a> for more details). Executors wait for
notifications before scheduling the future for execution time, i.e., nothing
happens until an event is received indicating that the task can make
progress.</p>
<p>The reactor receives events from the operating system and notifies the
executor.</p>
<p>Let's start with a basic example, establishing a TCP connection.</p>

<span class="ident">tokio</span>::<span class="ident">run</span>(<span class="ident">task</span>);</pre>
<p>Establishing a TCP connection usually cannot be completed immediately.
<a href="../net/struct.TcpStream.html#method.connect"><code>TcpStream::connect</code></a> does not block the current thread. Instead, it
returns a <a href="../net/struct.ConnectFuture.html">future</a> that resolves once the TCP connection has
been established. The connect future itself has no way of knowing when the
TCP connection has been established.</p>
<p>Before returning the future, <a href="../net/struct.TcpStream.html#method.connect"><code>TcpStream::connect</code></a> registers the socket
with a reactor. This registration process, handled by <a href="struct.Registration.html"><code>Registration</code></a>, is
what links the <a href="../net/struct.TcpStream.html"><code>TcpStream</code></a> with the <a href="struct.Reactor.html"><code>Reactor</code></a> instance. At this point,
the reactor starts listening for connection events from the operating system
for that socket.</p>
<p>Once the connect future is passed to <a href="../runtime/fn.run.html"><code>tokio::run</code></a>, it is spawned onto a
thread pool. The thread pool waits until it is notified that the connection
has completed.</p>
<p>When the TCP connection is established, the reactor receives an event from
the operating system. It then notifies the thread pool, telling it that the
connect future can complete. At this point, the thread pool will schedule
the task to run on one of its worker threads. This results in the <code>and_then</code>
closure to get executed.</p>
<h2 id="lazy-registration" class="section-header"><a href="#lazy-registration">Lazy registration</a></h2>
<p>Notice how the snippet above does not explicitly reference a reactor. When
<a href="../net/struct.TcpStream.html#method.connect"><code>TcpStream::connect</code></a> is called, it registers the socket with a reactor,
but no reactor is specified. This works because the registration process
mentioned above is actually lazy. It doesn't <em>actually</em> happen in the
<a href="../net/struct.TcpStream.html#method.connect"><code>connect</code></a> function. Instead, the registration is established the first
time that the task is polled (again, see <a href="https://tokio.rs/docs/getting-started/runtime-model/">runtime model</a>).</p>
<p>A reactor instance is automatically made available when using the Tokio
<a href="../runtime">runtime</a>, which is done using <a href="../runtime/fn.run.html"><code>tokio::run</code></a>. The Tokio runtime's executor
sets a thread-local variable referencing the associated <a href="struct.Reactor.html"><code>Reactor</code></a> instance
and <a href="struct.Handle.html#method.current"><code>Handle::current</code></a> (used by <a href="struct.Registration.html"><code>Registration</code></a>) returns the reference.</p>
<h2 id="implementation" class="section-header"><a href="#implementation">Implementation</a></h2>
<p>The reactor implementation uses <a href="https://github.com/carllerche/mio"><code>mio</code></a> to interface with the operating
system's event queue. A call to <a href="struct.Reactor.html#method.poll"><code>Reactor::poll</code></a> results in in a single
call to <a href="https://docs.rs/mio/0.6/mio/struct.Poll.html#method.poll"><code>Poll::poll</code></a> which in turn results in a single call to the
operating system's selector.</p>
<p>The reactor maintains state for each registered I/O resource. This tracks
the executor task to notify when events are provided by the operating
system's selector. This state is stored in a <code>Sync</code> data structure and
referenced by <a href="struct.Registration.html"><code>Registration</code></a>. When the <a href="struct.Registration.html"><code>Registration</code></a> instance is
dropped, this state is cleaned up. Because the state is stored in a <code>Sync</code>
data structure, the <a href="struct.Registration.html"><code>Registration</code></a> instance is able to be moved to other
threads.</p>
<p>By default, a runtime's default reactor runs on a background thread. This
ensures that application code cannot significantly impact the reactor's
responsiveness.</p>
<h2 id="integrating-with-the-reactor" class="section-header"><a href="#integrating-with-the-reactor">Integrating with the reactor</a></h2>
<p>Tokio comes with a number of I/O resources, like TCP and UDP sockets, that
automatically integrate with the reactor. However, library authors or
applications may wish to implement their own resources that are also backed
by the reactor.</p>
<p>There are a couple of ways to do this.</p>
<p>If the custom I/O resource implements <a href="https://docs.rs/mio/0.6/mio/trait.Evented.html"><code>mio::Evented</code></a> and implements
<a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/trait.Read.html"><code>std::Read</code></a> and / or <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/trait.Write.html"><code>std::Write</code></a>, then <a href="struct.PollEvented.html"><code>PollEvented</code></a> is the most
suited.</p>
<p>Otherwise, <a href="struct.Registration.html"><code>Registration</code></a> can be used directly. This provides the lowest
level primitive needed for integrating with the reactor: a stream of
readiness events.</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>)
