• rio

  1 568 3.8 Rust

  pure rust io_uring library, built on libc, thread & async friendly, misuse resistant

  Latest mention: Tokio, the async runtime for Rust, hits 1.0 | news.ycombinator.com | 2020-12-23

  The author of sled[1], an embedded database in Rust which has a number of promising features, has also written parts of rio[2], an underlying pure Rust io_uring library, which is intended to become the core write path for sled. rio has support for files but also has a demo for TCP (on Linux 5.5 and later) and O_DIRECT.

  I tested rio recently as I had a Brilliant but Bad Idea™ involving file access and was pleasantly surprised by the API, as I have been with sled's.

  I'm excited for the experimentation in the Rust ecosystem and for such low level crates to handle the complex io_uring tasks (relatively) safely!

  Fortunately, cleverer people than me worked out all the maths for it, and I only had to convert it to rust and wrap it in a CLI. Here's the heavy duty maths in the code, which is based and checked against the calculations here.
