Technical requirements

The examples in this chapter will build on the code from the previous chapter, so the requirements are the same. The examples will all be cross-platform and work on all platforms that Rust (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/rustc/platform-support.html) and mio (https://github.com/tokio-rs/mio#platforms) support. The only thing you need is Rust installed and this book’s GitHub repository downloaded locally. All the code in this chapter can be found in the ch09 folder.

To follow the examples step by step, you’ll also need corofy installed on your machine. If you didn’t install it in Chapter 7, install it now by going into the ch07/corofy folder in the repository and running the following:

cargo install --force --path .

We’ll also use delayserver in this example, so you need to open a separate terminal, enter the delayserver folder at the root of the repository, and write cargo run so that it’s ready and available for the...
