# Tokio
A runtime for writing reliable, asynchronous, and slim applications with
the Rust programming language. It is:
* **Fast**: Tokio's zero-cost abstractions give you bare-metal
performance.
* **Reliable**: Tokio leverages Rust's ownership, type system, and
concurrency model to reduce bugs and ensure thread safety.
* **Scalable**: Tokio has a minimal footprint, and handles backpressure
and cancellation naturally.

## Overview
Tokio is an event-driven, non-blocking I/O platform for writing
asynchronous applications with the Rust programming language. At a high
level, it provides a few major components:
* A multithreaded, work-stealing based task [scheduler].
* A reactor backed by the operating system's event queue (epoll, kqueue,
IOCP, etc...).
* Asynchronous [TCP and UDP][net] sockets.
These components provide the runtime components necessary for building
an asynchronous application.
[net]: https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/net/index.html
[scheduler]: https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/runtime/index.html
## Example
A basic TCP echo server with Tokio:
```rust,no_run
use tokio::net::TcpListener;
use tokio::io::{AsyncReadExt, AsyncWriteExt};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let mut listener = TcpListener::bind("127.0.0.1:8080").await?;
loop {
let (mut socket, _) = listener.accept().await?;
tokio::spawn(async move {
let mut buf = [0; 1024];
// In a loop, read data from the socket and write the data back.
loop {
let n = match socket.read(&mut buf).await {
// socket closed
Ok(n) if n == 0 => return,
Ok(n) => n,
Err(e) => {
eprintln!("failed to read from socket; err = {:?}", e);
return;
}
};
// Write the data back
if let Err(e) = socket.write_all(&buf[0..n]).await {
eprintln!("failed to write to socket; err = {:?}", e);
return;
}
}
});
}
}
```
