Expand description

Seek bytes asynchronously.

This trait is analogous to the std::io::Seek trait, but integrates with the asynchronous task system. In particular, the start_seek method, unlike Seek::seek, will not block the calling thread.

Utilities for working with AsyncSeek values are provided by AsyncSeekExt.

Required methods

Attempts to seek to an offset, in bytes, in a stream.

A seek beyond the end of a stream is allowed, but behavior is defined by the implementation.

If this function returns successfully, then the job has been submitted. To find out when it completes, call poll_complete.

Waits for a seek operation to complete.

If the seek operation completed successfully, this method returns the new position from the start of the stream. That position can be used later with SeekFrom::Start.

Errors

Seeking to a negative offset is considered an error.

Panics

Calling this method without calling start_seek first is an error.
