Struct CancellationToken

Source

pub struct CancellationToken { /* private fields */ }

Expand description

A token which can be used to signal a cancellation request to one or more tasks.

Tasks can call CancellationToken::cancelled() in order to obtain a Future which will be resolved when cancellation is requested.

Cancellation can be requested through the CancellationToken::cancel method.

§Examples

use tokio::select;
use tokio_util::sync::CancellationToken;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let token = CancellationToken::new();
    let cloned_token = token.clone();

    let join_handle = tokio::spawn(async move {
        // Wait for either cancellation or a very long time
        select! {
            _ = cloned_token.cancelled() => {
                // The token was cancelled
                5
            }
            _ = tokio::time::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_secs(9999)) => {
                99
            }
        }
    });

    tokio::spawn(async move {
        tokio::time::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_millis(10)).await;
        token.cancel();
    });

    assert_eq!(5, join_handle.await.unwrap());
}

Implementations§

Source §

impl CancellationToken

Source

pub fn new() -> CancellationToken

Creates a new CancellationToken in the non-cancelled state.

Source

pub fn child_token(&self) -> CancellationToken

Creates a CancellationToken which will get cancelled whenever the current token gets cancelled. Unlike a cloned CancellationToken, cancelling a child token does not cancel the parent token.

If the current token is already cancelled, the child token will get returned in cancelled state.

§Examples

use tokio::select;
use tokio_util::sync::CancellationToken;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let token = CancellationToken::new();
    let child_token = token.child_token();

    let join_handle = tokio::spawn(async move {
        // Wait for either cancellation or a very long time
        select! {
            _ = child_token.cancelled() => {
                // The token was cancelled
                5
            }
            _ = tokio::time::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_secs(9999)) => {
                99
            }
        }
    });

    tokio::spawn(async move {
        tokio::time::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_millis(10)).await;
        token.cancel();
    });

    assert_eq!(5, join_handle.await.unwrap());
}

Source

pub fn cancel(&self)

Cancel the CancellationToken and all child tokens which had been derived from it.

This will wake up all tasks which are waiting for cancellation.

Be aware that cancellation is not an atomic operation. It is possible for another thread running in parallel with a call to cancel to first receive true from is_cancelled on one child node, and then receive false from is_cancelled on another child node. However, once the call to cancel returns, all child nodes have been fully cancelled.

Source

pub fn is_cancelled(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the CancellationToken is cancelled.

Source

pub fn cancelled(&self) -> WaitForCancellationFuture<'_> ⓘ

Returns a Future that gets fulfilled when cancellation is requested.

The future will complete immediately if the token is already cancelled when this method is called.

§Cancel safety

This method is cancel safe.

Source

pub fn cancelled_owned(self) -> WaitForCancellationFutureOwned ⓘ

Returns a Future that gets fulfilled when cancellation is requested.

The future will complete immediately if the token is already cancelled when this method is called.

The function takes self by value and returns a future that owns the token.

§Cancel safety

This method is cancel safe.

Source

pub fn drop_guard(self) -> DropGuard

Creates a DropGuard for this token.

Returned guard will cancel this token (and all its children) on drop unless disarmed.

Source

pub async fn run_until_cancelled<F>(&self, fut: F) -> Option<F::Output>
where F: Future,

Runs a future to completion and returns its result wrapped inside of an Option unless the CancellationToken is cancelled. In that case the function returns None and the future gets dropped.
