std::task - Rust
Description: API documentation for the Rust `task` mod in crate `std`.
Keywords: rust, rustlang, rust-lang, task

# [−][src]Module std::task

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`futures_api` #50547)

futures in libcore are unstable

Types and Traits for working with asynchronous tasks.

## Structs

LocalWaker | [ Experimental ] A `LocalWaker` is a handle for waking up a task by notifying its executor that it is ready to be run.
Waker | [ Experimental ] A `Waker` is a handle for waking up a task by notifying its executor that it is ready to be run.

## Enums

Poll | [ Experimental ] Indicates whether a value is available or if the current task has been scheduled to receive a wakeup instead.

## Traits

UnsafeWake | [ Experimental ] An unsafe trait for implementing custom memory management for a `Waker` or `LocalWaker`.
Wake | [ Experimental ] A way of waking up a specific task.

## Functions

local_waker⚠ | [ Experimental ] Creates a `LocalWaker` from a local `wake`.
local_waker_from_nonlocal | [ Experimental ] Creates a `LocalWaker` from a non-local `wake`.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g. `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
