The `any_completion_handler` class template is a polymorphic wrapper for completion handlers that propagates the associated executor, associated allocator, and associated cancellation slot through a type-erasing interface.

When using `any_completion_handler`, specify one or more completion signatures as template parameters. These will dictate the arguments that may be passed to the handler through the polymorphic interface.

Typical uses for `any_completion_handler` include:


* Separate compilation of asynchronous operation implementations.


* Enabling interoperability between asynchronous operations and virtual functions.

Asynchronous operations may represent a continuation of the asynchronous control flow associated with the current handler. The implementation can use this knowledge to optimise scheduling of the handler.

Implement asio\_handler\_is\_continuation for your own handlers to indicate when a handler represents a continuation.

The default implementation of the continuation hook returns `false`.

  ]
  
]

The [link boost_asio.reference.async_result `async_result`] trait is a customisation point that is used within the initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation]. The trait combines:


* the completion signature (or signatures) that describe the arguments that an asynchronous operation will pass to a completion handler;


* the [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] type supplied by the caller; and


* the operation's internal implementation.

Specialisations of the trait must satisfy the [link boost_asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.completion_tokens_and_handlers async_result requirements], and are reponsible for determining:


* the concrete completion handler type to be called at the end of the asynchronous operation;


* the initiating function return type;


* how the return value of the initiating function is obtained; and


* how and when to launch the operation by invoking the supplied initiation function object.

This template may be specialised for user-defined completion token types. The primary template assumes that the CompletionToken is the already a concrete completion handler.


[heading Remarks]
      
For backwards compatibility, the primary template implements member types and functions that are associated with legacy forms of the [link boost_asio.reference.async_result `async_result`] trait. These are annotated as "Legacy" in the documentation below. User specialisations of this trait do not need to implement these in order to satisfy the [link boost_asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.completion_tokens_and_handlers async_result requirements].

In general, implementers of asynchronous operations should use the async\_initiate function rather than using the [link boost_asio.reference.async_result `async_result`] trait directly.

The async\_compose function simplifies the implementation of composed asynchronous operations automatically wrapping a stateful function object with a conforming intermediate completion handler.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[implementation][A function object that contains the implementation of the composed asynchronous operation. The first argument to the function object is a non-const reference to the enclosing intermediate completion handler. The remaining arguments are any arguments that originate from the completion handlers of any asynchronous operations performed by the implementation.]]

[heading Per-Operation Cancellation]
  
By default, terminal per-operation cancellation is enabled for composed operations that are implemented using `async_compose`. To disable cancellation for the composed operation, or to alter its supported cancellation types, call the `self` object's `reset_cancellation_state` function.

This function attempts to connect a socket to one of a sequence of endpoints. It does this by repeated calls to the socket's `async_connect` member function, once for each endpoint in the sequence, until a connection is successfully established. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.

[[endpoints][A sequence of endpoints.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the connect completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature.

[heading Example]
  
The following connect condition function object can be used to output information about the individual connection attempts: 

  struct my_connect_condition
  {
    bool operator()(
        const boost::system::error_code& ec,
        const::tcp::endpoint& next)
    {
      if (ec) std::cout << "Error: " << ec.message() << std::endl;
      std::cout << "Trying: " << next << std::endl;
      return true;
    }
  }; 


It would be used with the [link boost_asio.reference.connect `connect`] function as follows: 

  tcp::resolver r(my_context);
  tcp::resolver::query q("host", "service");
  tcp::socket s(my_context);

  // ...

  r.async_resolve(q, resolve_handler);

  // ...

  void resolve_handler(
      const boost::system::error_code& ec,
      tcp::resolver::iterator i)
  {
    if (!ec)
    {
      tcp::resolver::iterator end;
      boost::asio::async_connect(s, i, end,
          my_connect_condition(),
          connect_handler);
    }
  }

  // ...

  void connect_handler(
      const boost::system::error_code& ec,
      tcp::resolver::iterator i)
  {
    if (ec)
    {
      // An error occurred.
    }
    else
    {
      std::cout << "Connected to: " << i->endpoint() << std::endl;
    }
  } 





[heading Per-Operation Cancellation]
  
This asynchronous operation supports cancellation for the following [link boost_asio.reference.cancellation_type `cancellation_type`] values:


* `cancellation_type::terminal` 


* `cancellation_type::partial` 

if they are also supported by the socket's `async_connect` operation.

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the read completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature.

``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function.

* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the device's async\_read\_some\_at function.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[d][The device from which the data is to be read. The type must support the AsyncRandomAccessReadDevice concept.]]

[[offset][The offset at which the data will be read.]]

[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read. The sum of the buffer sizes indicates the maximum number of bytes to read from the device. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the read completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    // Result of operation.
    const boost::system::error_code& error,

    // Number of bytes copied into the buffers. If an error
    // occurred, this will be the number of bytes successfully
    // transferred prior to the error.
    std::size_t bytes_transferred
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

]


[heading Completion Signature]
  


  void(boost::system::error_code, std::size_t) 





[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  boost::asio::async_read_at(d, 42, boost::asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.


[heading Remarks]
      
This overload is equivalent to calling: 

  boost::asio::async_read_at(
     d, 42, buffers,
     boost::asio::transfer_all(),
     handler); 





[heading Per-Operation Cancellation]
  
This asynchronous operation supports cancellation for the following [link boost_asio.reference.cancellation_type `cancellation_type`] values:


* `cancellation_type::terminal` 


* `cancellation_type::partial` 

if they are also supported by the `AsyncRandomAccessReadDevice` type's async\_read\_some\_at operation.

Start an asynchronous operation to read data into a dynamic buffer sequence until it contains a specified delimiter.

      constraint_t< !is_dynamic_buffer_v2< decay_t< DynamicBuffer_v1 > >::value >  = 0);


This function is used to asynchronously read data into the specified dynamic buffer sequence until the dynamic buffer sequence's get area contains the specified delimiter. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions is true:


* The get area of the dynamic buffer sequence contains the specified delimiter.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's async\_read\_some function, and is known as a ['composed operation]. If the dynamic buffer sequence's get area already contains the delimiter, this asynchronous operation completes immediately. The program must ensure that the stream performs no other read operations (such as async\_read, async\_read\_until, the stream's async\_read\_some function, or any other composed operations that perform reads) until this operation completes.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the AsyncReadStream concept.]]

[[buffers][The dynamic buffer sequence into which the data will be read. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[[delim][The delimiter character.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the read completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    // Result of operation.
    const boost::system::error_code& error,

    // The number of bytes in the dynamic buffer sequence's
    // get area up to and including the delimiter.
    std::size_t bytes_transferred
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

]


[heading Completion Signature]
  


  void(boost::system::error_code, std::size_t) 





[heading Remarks]
      
After a successful async\_read\_until operation, the dynamic buffer sequence may contain additional data beyond the delimiter. An application will typically leave that data in the dynamic buffer sequence for a subsequent async\_read\_until operation to examine.


[heading Example]
  
To asynchronously read data into a `std::string` until a newline is encountered: 

  std::string data;
  ...
  void handler(const boost::system::error_code& e, std::size_t size)
  {
    if (!e)
    {
      std::string line = data.substr(0, n);
      data.erase(0, n);
      ...
    }
  }
  ...
  boost::asio::async_read_until(s, data, '\n', handler); 


After the `async_read_until` operation completes successfully, the buffer `data` contains the delimiter: 

  { 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\n', 'd', 'e', ... } 


The call to `substr` then extracts the data up to and including the delimiter, so that the string `line` contains: 

  { 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\n' } 


After the call to `erase`, the remaining data is left in the buffer `data` as follows: 

  { 'd', 'e', ... } 


This data may be the start of a new line, to be extracted by a subsequent `async_read_until` operation.


[heading Per-Operation Cancellation]
  
This asynchronous operation supports cancellation for the following [link boost_asio.reference.cancellation_type `cancellation_type`] values:


* `cancellation_type::terminal` 


* `cancellation_type::partial` 

if they are also supported by the `AsyncReadStream` type's `async_read_some` operation.

This function is used to asynchronously read data into the specified streambuf until the streambuf's get area contains the specified delimiter. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions is true:


* The get area of the streambuf contains the specified delimiter.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's async\_read\_some function, and is known as a ['composed operation]. If the streambuf's get area already contains the delimiter, this asynchronous operation completes immediately. The program must ensure that the stream performs no other read operations (such as async\_read, async\_read\_until, the stream's async\_read\_some function, or any other composed operations that perform reads) until this operation completes.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the AsyncReadStream concept.]]

[[b][A streambuf object into which the data will be read. Ownership of the streambuf is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that it remains valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[[delim][The delimiter string.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the read completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    // Result of operation.
    const boost::system::error_code& error,

    // The number of bytes in the streambuf's get
    // area up to and including the delimiter.
    // 0 if an error occurred.
    std::size_t bytes_transferred
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

[heading Completion Signature]
  


  void(boost::system::error_code, std::size_t) 





[heading Remarks]
      
After a successful async\_read\_until operation, the streambuf may contain additional data beyond the delimiter. An application will typically leave that data in the streambuf for a subsequent async\_read\_until operation to examine.


[heading Example]
  
To asynchronously read data into a streambuf until a newline is encountered: 

  boost::asio::streambuf b;
  ...
  void handler(const boost::system::error_code& e, std::size_t size)
  {
    if (!e)
    {
      std::istream is(&b);
      std::string line;
      std::getline(is, line);
      ...
    }
  }
  ...
  boost::asio::async_read_until(s, b, "\r\n", handler); 


After the `async_read_until` operation completes successfully, the buffer `b` contains the delimiter: 

  { 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\r', '\n', 'd', 'e', ... } 


The call to `std::getline` then extracts the data up to and including the newline (which is discarded), so that the string `line` contains: 

  { 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\r' } 


The remaining data is left in the buffer `b` as follows: 

  { 'd', 'e', ... } 


This data may be the start of a new line, to be extracted by a subsequent `async_read_until` operation.


[heading Per-Operation Cancellation]
  
This asynchronous operation supports cancellation for the following [link boost_asio.reference.cancellation_type `cancellation_type`] values:


* `cancellation_type::terminal` 


* `cancellation_type::partial` 

if they are also supported by the `AsyncReadStream` type's `async_read_some` operation.

This function is used to asynchronously read data into the specified streambuf until a user-defined match condition function object, when applied to the data contained in the streambuf, indicates a successful match.

[heading Completion Signature]
  


  void(boost::system::error_code, std::size_t) 





[heading Remarks]
      
After a successful async\_read\_until operation, the dynamic buffer sequence may contain additional data beyond that which matched the regular expression. An application will typically leave that data in the dynamic buffer sequence for a subsequent async\_read\_until operation to examine.


[heading Example]
  
To asynchronously read data into a `std::string` until a CR-LF sequence is encountered: 

  std::string data;
  ...
  void handler(const boost::system::error_code& e, std::size_t size)
  {
    if (!e)
    {
      std::string line = data.substr(0, n);
      data.erase(0, n);
      ...
    }
  }
  ...
  boost::asio::async_read_until(s, data,
      boost::regex("\r\n"), handler); 


After the `async_read_until` operation completes successfully, the string `data` contains the data which matched the regular expression: 

  { 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\r', '\n', 'd', 'e', ... } 


The call to `substr` then extracts the data up to and including the match, so that the string `line` contains: 

  { 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\r', '\n' } 


After the call to `erase`, the remaining data is left in the string `data` as follows: 

  { 'd', 'e', ... } 


This data may be the start of a new line, to be extracted by a subsequent `async_read_until` operation.


[heading Per-Operation Cancellation]
  
This asynchronous operation supports cancellation for the following [link boost_asio.reference.cancellation_type `cancellation_type`] values:


* `cancellation_type::terminal` 


* `cancellation_type::partial` 

if they are also supported by the `AsyncReadStream` type's `async_read_some` operation.

[section:overload12 async_read_until (12 of 12 overloads)]


Start an asynchronous operation to read data into a dynamic buffer sequence until a function object indicates a match. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.AsyncReadStream AsyncReadStream]``,
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.DynamicBuffer_v2 DynamicBuffer_v2]``,
      typename MatchCondition,

      constraint_t< is_match_condition< MatchCondition >::value >  = 0,
      constraint_t< is_dynamic_buffer_v2< DynamicBuffer_v2 >::value >  = 0);


This function is used to asynchronously read data into the specified dynamic buffer sequence until a user-defined match condition function object, when applied to the data contained in the dynamic buffer sequence, indicates a successful match. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions is true:


* The match condition function object returns a std::pair where the second element evaluates to true.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's async\_read\_some function, and is known as a ['composed operation]. If the match condition function object already indicates a match, this asynchronous operation completes immediately. The program must ensure that the stream performs no other read operations (such as async\_read, async\_read\_until, the stream's async\_read\_some function, or any other composed operations that perform reads) until this operation completes.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the AsyncReadStream concept.]]

[[buffers][The dynamic buffer sequence into which the data will be read. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[[match_condition][The function object to be called to determine whether a match exists. The signature of the function object must be: 
``
  pair<iterator, bool> match_condition(iterator begin, iterator end);
``
where `iterator` represents the type: 
``
  buffers_iterator<typename DynamicBuffer_v2::const_buffers_type>
``
The iterator parameters `begin` and `end` define the range of bytes to be scanned to determine whether there is a match. The `first` member of the return value is an iterator marking one-past-the-end of the bytes that have been consumed by the match function. This iterator is used to calculate the `begin` parameter for any subsequent invocation of the match condition. The `second` member of the return value is true if a match has been found, false otherwise.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the read completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    // Result of operation.
    const boost::system::error_code& error,

    // The number of bytes in the dynamic buffer sequence's
    // get area that have been fully consumed by the match
    // function. O if an error occurred.
    std::size_t bytes_transferred
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

[heading Remarks]
      
After a successful async\_read\_until operation, the dynamic buffer sequence may contain additional data beyond that which matched the function object. An application will typically leave that data in the dynamic buffer sequence for a subsequent async\_read\_until operation to examine.

[heading Remarks]
      
The default implementation of the `is_match_condition` type trait evaluates to true for function pointers and function objects with a `result_type` typedef. It must be specialised for other user-defined function objects.

        if (c_ == *i++)
          return std::make_pair(i, true);
      return std::make_pair(i, false);
    }

  ]
  
]

The [link boost_asio.reference.async_result `async_result`] trait is a customisation point that is used within the initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation]. The trait combines:


* the completion signature (or signatures) that describe the arguments that an asynchronous operation will pass to a completion handler;


* the [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] type supplied by the caller; and


* the operation's internal implementation.

Specialisations of the trait must satisfy the [link boost_asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.completion_tokens_and_handlers async_result requirements], and are reponsible for determining:


* the concrete completion handler type to be called at the end of the asynchronous operation;


* the initiating function return type;


* how the return value of the initiating function is obtained; and


* how and when to launch the operation by invoking the supplied initiation function object.

This template may be specialised for user-defined completion token types. The primary template assumes that the CompletionToken is the already a concrete completion handler.


[heading Remarks]
      
For backwards compatibility, the primary template implements member types and functions that are associated with legacy forms of the [link boost_asio.reference.async_result `async_result`] trait. These are annotated as "Legacy" in the documentation below. User specialisations of this trait do not need to implement these in order to satisfy the [link boost_asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.completion_tokens_and_handlers async_result requirements].

In general, implementers of asynchronous operations should use the async\_initiate function rather than using the [link boost_asio.reference.async_result `async_result`] trait directly.

[section:overload1 async_write (1 of 8 overloads)]


Start an asynchronous operation to write all of the supplied data to a stream. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.AsyncWriteStream AsyncWriteStream]``,
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.ConstBufferSequence ConstBufferSequence]``,
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.WriteToken WriteToken]`` = default_completion_token_t<typename AsyncWriteStream::executor_type>>

      constraint_t< !is_completion_condition< decay_t< WriteToken > >::value >  = 0);


This function is used to asynchronously write a certain number of bytes of data to a stream. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions is true:


* All of the data in the supplied buffers has been written. That is, the bytes transferred is equal to the sum of the buffer sizes.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's async\_write\_some function, and is known as a ['composed operation]. The program must ensure that the stream performs no other write operations (such as async\_write, the stream's async\_write\_some function, or any other composed operations that perform writes) until this operation completes.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream to which the data is to be written. The type must support the AsyncWriteStream concept.]]

[[buffers][One or more buffers containing the data to be written. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the write completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    // Result of operation.
    const boost::system::error_code& error,

    // Number of bytes written from the buffers. If an error
    // occurred, this will be less than the sum of the buffer sizes.
    std::size_t bytes_transferred
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

[heading Completion Signature]
  


  void(boost::system::error_code, std::size_t) 





[heading Example]
  
To write a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  boost::asio::async_write(s, boost::asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on writing multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.


[heading Per-Operation Cancellation]
  
This asynchronous operation supports cancellation for the following [link boost_asio.reference.cancellation_type `cancellation_type`] values:


* `cancellation_type::terminal` 


* `cancellation_type::partial` 

if they are also supported by the `AsyncWriteStream` type's `async_write_some` operation.

This function is used to asynchronously write a certain number of bytes of data to a stream. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions is true:


* All of the data in the supplied dynamic buffer sequence has been written.


* The completion\_condition function object returns 0.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's async\_write\_some function, and is known as a ['composed operation]. The program must ensure that the stream performs no other write operations (such as async\_write, the stream's async\_write\_some function, or any other composed operations that perform writes) until this operation completes.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream to which the data is to be written. The type must support the AsyncWriteStream concept.]]

[[buffers][The dynamic buffer sequence from which data will be written. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called. Successfully written data is automatically consumed from the buffers.]]

[[completion_condition][The function object to be called to determine whether the write operation is complete. The signature of the function object must be: 
``
  std::size_t completion_condition(
    // Result of latest async_write_some operation.
    const boost::system::error_code& error,

    // Number of bytes transferred so far.
    std::size_t bytes_transferred
  ); 
``
A return value of 0 indicates that the write operation is complete. A non-zero return value indicates the maximum number of bytes to be written on the next call to the stream's async\_write\_some function.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the write completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    // Result of operation.
    const boost::system::error_code& error,

    // Number of bytes written from the buffers. If an error
    // occurred, this will be less than the sum of the buffer sizes.
    std::size_t bytes_transferred
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `send`, `send_to`, `receive`, `receive_from`, `connect`, and `shutdown` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.

This function is used to asynchronously receive a datagram. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be received. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[[sender_endpoint][An endpoint object that receives the endpoint of the remote sender of the datagram. Ownership of the sender\_endpoint object is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that it is valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the receive completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    const boost::system::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
    std::size_t bytes_transferred // Number of bytes received.
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

[section:overload1 basic_datagram_socket::cancel (1 of 2 overloads)]


['Inherited from basic_socket.]


Cancel all asynchronous operations associated with the socket. 


  void cancel();


This function causes all outstanding asynchronous connect, send and receive operations to finish immediately, and the handlers for cancelled operations will be passed the `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted` error.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
Calls to `cancel()` will always fail with `boost::asio::error::operation_not_supported` when run on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and earlier versions of Windows, unless BOOST\_ASIO\_ENABLE\_CANCELIO is defined. However, the CancelIo function has two issues that should be considered before enabling its use:


* It will only cancel asynchronous operations that were initiated in the current thread.


* It can appear to complete without error, but the request to cancel the unfinished operations may be silently ignored by the operating system. Whether it works or not seems to depend on the drivers that are installed.

For portable cancellation, consider using one of the following alternatives:


* Disable asio's I/O completion port backend by defining BOOST\_ASIO\_DISABLE\_IOCP.


* Use the `close()` function to simultaneously cancel the outstanding operations and close the socket.

When running on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later, the CancelIoEx function is always used. This function does not have the problems described above.

[section:overload1 basic_datagram_socket::native_non_blocking (1 of 3 overloads)]


['Inherited from basic_socket.]


Gets the non-blocking mode of the native socket implementation. 


  bool native_non_blocking() const;


This function is used to retrieve the non-blocking mode of the underlying native socket. This mode has no effect on the behaviour of the socket object's synchronous operations.


[heading Return Value]
      
`true` if the underlying socket is in non-blocking mode and direct system calls may fail with `boost::asio::error::would_block` (or the equivalent system error).


[heading Remarks]
      
The current non-blocking mode is cached by the socket object. Consequently, the return value may be incorrect if the non-blocking mode was set directly on the native socket.


[heading Example]
  
This function is intended to allow the encapsulation of arbitrary non-blocking system calls as asynchronous operations, in a way that is transparent to the user of the socket object. The following example illustrates how Linux's `sendfile` system call might be encapsulated: 

  template <typename Handler>
  struct sendfile_op

    tcp::socket& sock_;
    int fd_;
    Handler handler_;

      // Put the underlying socket into non-blocking mode.
      if (!ec)
        if (!sock_.native_non_blocking())
          sock_.native_non_blocking(true, ec);

          ec = boost::system::error_code(n < 0 ? errno : 0,
              boost::asio::error::get_system_category());
          total_bytes_transferred_ += ec ? 0 : n;

            sock_.async_wait(tcp::socket::wait_write, *this);
            return;

[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `send`, `send_to`, `receive`, `receive_from`, `connect`, and `shutdown` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.

The [link boost_asio.reference.basic_deadline_timer `basic_deadline_timer`] class template provides the ability to perform a blocking or asynchronous wait for a timer to expire.

A deadline timer is always in one of two states: "expired" or "not expired". If the `wait()` or `async_wait()` function is called on an expired timer, the wait operation will complete immediately.

Most applications will use the [link boost_asio.reference.deadline_timer `deadline_timer`] typedef.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.


[heading Examples]
  
Performing a blocking wait: 

  // Construct a timer without setting an expiry time.
  boost::asio::deadline_timer timer(my_context);

  // Set an expiry time relative to now.
  timer.expires_from_now(boost::posix_time::seconds(5));

  // Wait for the timer to expire.
  timer.wait();





Performing an asynchronous wait: 

  void handler(const boost::system::error_code& error)
  {
    if (!error)
    {
      // Timer expired.
    }
  }

  ...

  // Construct a timer with an absolute expiry time.
  boost::asio::deadline_timer timer(my_context,
      boost::posix_time::time_from_string("2005-12-07 23:59:59.000"));

  // Start an asynchronous wait.
  timer.async_wait(handler);





[heading Changing an active deadline_timer's expiry time]
  


Changing the expiry time of a timer while there are pending asynchronous waits causes those wait operations to be cancelled. To ensure that the action associated with the timer is performed only once, use something like this: used:



  void on_some_event()
  {
    if (my_timer.expires_from_now(seconds(5)) > 0)
    {
      // We managed to cancel the timer. Start new asynchronous wait.
      my_timer.async_wait(on_timeout);
    }
    else
    {
      // Too late, timer has already expired!
    }
  }

  void on_timeout(const boost::system::error_code& e)
  {
    if (e != boost::asio::error::operation_aborted)
    {
      // Timer was not cancelled, take necessary action.
    }
  }





* The `boost::asio::basic_deadline_timer::expires_from_now()` function cancels any pending asynchronous waits, and returns the number of asynchronous waits that were cancelled. If it returns 0 then you were too late and the wait handler has already been executed, or will soon be executed. If it returns 1 then the wait handler was successfully cancelled.


* If a wait handler is cancelled, the boost::system::error\_code passed to it contains the value `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted`.

[section:async_wait basic_deadline_timer::async_wait]

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.basic_deadline_timer.async_wait..async_wait..basic_deadline_timer] 
Start an asynchronous wait on the timer. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.WaitToken WaitToken]`` = default_completion_token_t<executor_type>>
  ``[link boost_asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.automatic_deduction_of_initiating_function_return_type ['DEDUCED]]`` async_wait(
      WaitToken && token = default_completion_token_t< executor_type >());


This function may be used to initiate an asynchronous wait against the timer. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.

For each call to `async_wait()`, the completion handler will be called exactly once. The completion handler will be called when:


* The timer has expired.


* The timer was cancelled, in which case the handler is passed the error code `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted`.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the timer expires. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    const boost::system::error_code& error // Result of operation.
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

[heading Completion Signature]
  


  void(boost::system::error_code) 





[heading Per-Operation Cancellation]
  
This asynchronous operation supports cancellation for the following [link boost_asio.reference.cancellation_type `cancellation_type`] values:


* `cancellation_type::terminal` 


* `cancellation_type::partial` 


* `cancellation_type::total`

The [link boost_asio.reference.basic_deadline_timer `basic_deadline_timer`] class template provides the ability to perform a blocking or asynchronous wait for a timer to expire.

A deadline timer is always in one of two states: "expired" or "not expired". If the `wait()` or `async_wait()` function is called on an expired timer, the wait operation will complete immediately.

Most applications will use the [link boost_asio.reference.deadline_timer `deadline_timer`] typedef.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.


[heading Examples]
  
Performing a blocking wait: 

  // Construct a timer without setting an expiry time.
  boost::asio::deadline_timer timer(my_context);

  // Set an expiry time relative to now.
  timer.expires_from_now(boost::posix_time::seconds(5));

  // Wait for the timer to expire.
  timer.wait();





Performing an asynchronous wait: 

  void handler(const boost::system::error_code& error)
  {
    if (!error)
    {
      // Timer expired.
    }
  }

  ...

  // Construct a timer with an absolute expiry time.
  boost::asio::deadline_timer timer(my_context,
      boost::posix_time::time_from_string("2005-12-07 23:59:59.000"));

  // Start an asynchronous wait.
  timer.async_wait(handler);





[heading Changing an active deadline_timer's expiry time]
  


Changing the expiry time of a timer while there are pending asynchronous waits causes those wait operations to be cancelled. To ensure that the action associated with the timer is performed only once, use something like this: used:



  void on_some_event()
  {
    if (my_timer.expires_from_now(seconds(5)) > 0)
    {
      // We managed to cancel the timer. Start new asynchronous wait.
      my_timer.async_wait(on_timeout);
    }
    else
    {
      // Too late, timer has already expired!
    }
  }

  void on_timeout(const boost::system::error_code& e)
  {
    if (e != boost::asio::error::operation_aborted)
    {
      // Timer was not cancelled, take necessary action.
    }
  }





* The `boost::asio::basic_deadline_timer::expires_from_now()` function cancels any pending asynchronous waits, and returns the number of asynchronous waits that were cancelled. If it returns 0 then you were too late and the wait handler has already been executed, or will soon be executed. If it returns 1 then the wait handler was successfully cancelled.


* If a wait handler is cancelled, the boost::system::error\_code passed to it contains the value `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted`.

[section:overload1 basic_file::cancel (1 of 2 overloads)]


Cancel all asynchronous operations associated with the file. 


  void cancel();


This function causes all outstanding asynchronous read and write operations to finish immediately, and the handlers for cancelled operations will be passed the `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted` error.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
Calls to `cancel()` will always fail with `boost::asio::error::operation_not_supported` when run on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and earlier versions of Windows, unless BOOST\_ASIO\_ENABLE\_CANCELIO is defined. However, the CancelIo function has two issues that should be considered before enabling its use:


* It will only cancel asynchronous operations that were initiated in the current thread.


* It can appear to complete without error, but the request to cancel the unfinished operations may be silently ignored by the operating system. Whether it works or not seems to depend on the drivers that are installed.

For portable cancellation, consider using the `close()` function to simultaneously cancel the outstanding operations and close the file.

When running on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later, the CancelIoEx function is always used. This function does not have the problems described above.

[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `read_some_at` and `write_some_at` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single file object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.basic_random_access_file.async_read_some_at..async_read_some_at..basic_random_access_file] 
Start an asynchronous read at the specified offset. 


  template<

      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.ReadToken ReadToken]`` = default_completion_token_t<executor_type>>

      uint64_t offset,
      const MutableBufferSequence & buffers,
      ReadToken && token = default_completion_token_t< executor_type >());


This function is used to asynchronously read data from the random-access handle. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[offset][The offset at which the data will be read.]]

[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the read completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    const boost::system::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
    std::size_t bytes_transferred // Number of bytes read.
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

]


[heading Completion Signature]
  


  void(boost::system::error_code, std::size_t) 





[heading Remarks]
      
The read operation may not read all of the requested number of bytes. Consider using the [link boost_asio.reference.async_read_at `async_read_at`] function if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is read before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  handle.async_read_some_at(42, boost::asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.


[heading Per-Operation Cancellation]
  
This asynchronous operation supports cancellation for the following [link boost_asio.reference.cancellation_type `cancellation_type`] values:


* `cancellation_type::terminal` 


* `cancellation_type::partial` 


* `cancellation_type::total`

      WriteToken && token = default_completion_token_t< executor_type >());


This function is used to asynchronously write data to the random-access handle. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[offset][The offset at which the data will be written.]]

[[buffers][One or more data buffers to be written to the handle. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the write completes.

[section:overload1 basic_random_access_file::cancel (1 of 2 overloads)]


['Inherited from basic_file.]


Cancel all asynchronous operations associated with the file. 


  void cancel();


This function causes all outstanding asynchronous read and write operations to finish immediately, and the handlers for cancelled operations will be passed the `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted` error.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
Calls to `cancel()` will always fail with `boost::asio::error::operation_not_supported` when run on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and earlier versions of Windows, unless BOOST\_ASIO\_ENABLE\_CANCELIO is defined. However, the CancelIo function has two issues that should be considered before enabling its use:


* It will only cancel asynchronous operations that were initiated in the current thread.


* It can appear to complete without error, but the request to cancel the unfinished operations may be silently ignored by the operating system. Whether it works or not seems to depend on the drivers that are installed.

For portable cancellation, consider using the `close()` function to simultaneously cancel the outstanding operations and close the file.

When running on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later, the CancelIoEx function is always used. This function does not have the problems described above.

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure. An error code of `boost::asio::error::eof` indicates that the end of the file was reached.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
The read\_some operation may not read all of the requested number of bytes. Consider using the [link boost_asio.reference.read_at `read_at`] function if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is read before the blocking operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  handle.read_some_at(42, boost::asio::buffer(data, size));


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `read_some_at` and `write_some_at` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single file object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.

[heading Remarks]
      
The async\_receive operation can only be used with a connected socket. Use the async\_receive\_from function to receive data on an unconnected raw socket.


[heading Example]
  
To receive into a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  socket.async_receive(boost::asio::buffer(data, size), handler);

[section:overload1 basic_raw_socket::cancel (1 of 2 overloads)]


['Inherited from basic_socket.]


Cancel all asynchronous operations associated with the socket. 


  void cancel();


This function causes all outstanding asynchronous connect, send and receive operations to finish immediately, and the handlers for cancelled operations will be passed the `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted` error.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
Calls to `cancel()` will always fail with `boost::asio::error::operation_not_supported` when run on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and earlier versions of Windows, unless BOOST\_ASIO\_ENABLE\_CANCELIO is defined. However, the CancelIo function has two issues that should be considered before enabling its use:


* It will only cancel asynchronous operations that were initiated in the current thread.


* It can appear to complete without error, but the request to cancel the unfinished operations may be silently ignored by the operating system. Whether it works or not seems to depend on the drivers that are installed.

For portable cancellation, consider using one of the following alternatives:


* Disable asio's I/O completion port backend by defining BOOST\_ASIO\_DISABLE\_IOCP.


* Use the `close()` function to simultaneously cancel the outstanding operations and close the socket.

When running on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later, the CancelIoEx function is always used. This function does not have the problems described above.

[section:overload1 basic_raw_socket::native_non_blocking (1 of 3 overloads)]


['Inherited from basic_socket.]


Gets the non-blocking mode of the native socket implementation. 


  bool native_non_blocking() const;


This function is used to retrieve the non-blocking mode of the underlying native socket. This mode has no effect on the behaviour of the socket object's synchronous operations.


[heading Return Value]
      
`true` if the underlying socket is in non-blocking mode and direct system calls may fail with `boost::asio::error::would_block` (or the equivalent system error).


[heading Remarks]
      
The current non-blocking mode is cached by the socket object. Consequently, the return value may be incorrect if the non-blocking mode was set directly on the native socket.


[heading Example]
  
This function is intended to allow the encapsulation of arbitrary non-blocking system calls as asynchronous operations, in a way that is transparent to the user of the socket object. The following example illustrates how Linux's `sendfile` system call might be encapsulated: 

  template <typename Handler>
  struct sendfile_op
  {
    tcp::socket& sock_;
    int fd_;
    Handler handler_;
    off_t offset_;
    std::size_t total_bytes_transferred_;

    // Function call operator meeting WriteHandler requirements.
    // Used as the handler for the async_write_some operation.
    void operator()(boost::system::error_code ec, std::size_t)
    {
      // Put the underlying socket into non-blocking mode.
      if (!ec)
        if (!sock_.native_non_blocking())
          sock_.native_non_blocking(true, ec);

      if (!ec)
      {
        for (;;)
        {
          // Try the system call.
          errno = 0;
          int n = ::sendfile(sock_.native_handle(), fd_, &offset_, 65536);
          ec = boost::system::error_code(n < 0 ? errno : 0,
              boost::asio::error::get_system_category());
          total_bytes_transferred_ += ec ? 0 : n;

          // Retry operation immediately if interrupted by signal.
          if (ec == boost::asio::error::interrupted)
            continue;

          // Check if we need to run the operation again.
          if (ec == boost::asio::error::would_block
              || ec == boost::asio::error::try_again)
          {
            // We have to wait for the socket to become ready again.
            sock_.async_wait(tcp::socket::wait_write, *this);
            return;
          }

          if (ec || n == 0)
          {
            // An error occurred, or we have reached the end of the file.
            // Either way we must exit the loop so we can call the handler.

['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `send`, `send_to`, `receive`, `receive_from`, `connect`, and `shutdown` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.

[section:async_read_some basic_readable_pipe::async_read_some]

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.basic_readable_pipe.async_read_some..async_read_some..basic_readable_pipe] 
Start an asynchronous read. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.MutableBufferSequence MutableBufferSequence]``,
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.ReadToken ReadToken]`` = default_completion_token_t<executor_type>>
  ``[link boost_asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.automatic_deduction_of_initiating_function_return_type ['DEDUCED]]`` async_read_some(
      const MutableBufferSequence & buffers,
      ReadToken && token = default_completion_token_t< executor_type >());


This function is used to asynchronously read data from the pipe. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the read completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    const boost::system::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
    std::size_t bytes_transferred // Number of bytes read.
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

]


[heading Completion Signature]
  


  void(boost::system::error_code, std::size_t) 





[heading Remarks]
      
The read operation may not read all of the requested number of bytes. Consider using the [link boost_asio.reference.async_read `async_read`] function if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is read before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  basic_readable_pipe.async_read_some(
      boost::asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

  ``  [''''&raquo;''' [link boost_asio.reference.basic_readable_pipe.read_some.overload2 more...]]``


[section:overload1 basic_readable_pipe::read_some (1 of 2 overloads)]


Read some data from the pipe. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.MutableBufferSequence MutableBufferSequence]``>
  std::size_t read_some(
      const MutableBufferSequence & buffers);


This function is used to read data from the pipe. The function call will block until one or more bytes of data has been read successfully, or until an error occurs.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes read.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure. An error code of `boost::asio::error::eof` indicates that the connection was closed by the peer.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
The read\_some operation may not read all of the requested number of bytes. Consider using the [link boost_asio.reference.read `read`] function if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is read before the blocking operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  basic_readable_pipe.read_some(boost::asio::buffer(data, size));


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `send`, `receive`, `connect`, and `shutdown` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.

[section:overload1 basic_seq_packet_socket::cancel (1 of 2 overloads)]


['Inherited from basic_socket.]


Cancel all asynchronous operations associated with the socket. 


  void cancel();


This function causes all outstanding asynchronous connect, send and receive operations to finish immediately, and the handlers for cancelled operations will be passed the `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted` error.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

[heading Remarks]
      
Calls to `cancel()` will always fail with `boost::asio::error::operation_not_supported` when run on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and earlier versions of Windows, unless BOOST\_ASIO\_ENABLE\_CANCELIO is defined. However, the CancelIo function has two issues that should be considered before enabling its use:


* It will only cancel asynchronous operations that were initiated in the current thread.


* It can appear to complete without error, but the request to cancel the unfinished operations may be silently ignored by the operating system. Whether it works or not seems to depend on the drivers that are installed.

For portable cancellation, consider using one of the following alternatives:


* Disable asio's I/O completion port backend by defining BOOST\_ASIO\_DISABLE\_IOCP.


* Use the `close()` function to simultaneously cancel the outstanding operations and close the socket.

When running on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later, the CancelIoEx function is always used. This function does not have the problems described above.

[section:overload1 basic_seq_packet_socket::native_non_blocking (1 of 3 overloads)]


['Inherited from basic_socket.]


Gets the non-blocking mode of the native socket implementation. 


  bool native_non_blocking() const;


This function is used to retrieve the non-blocking mode of the underlying native socket. This mode has no effect on the behaviour of the socket object's synchronous operations.


[heading Return Value]
      
`true` if the underlying socket is in non-blocking mode and direct system calls may fail with `boost::asio::error::would_block` (or the equivalent system error).


[heading Remarks]
      
The current non-blocking mode is cached by the socket object. Consequently, the return value may be incorrect if the non-blocking mode was set directly on the native socket.


[heading Example]
  
This function is intended to allow the encapsulation of arbitrary non-blocking system calls as asynchronous operations, in a way that is transparent to the user of the socket object. The following example illustrates how Linux's `sendfile` system call might be encapsulated: 

  template <typename Handler>
  struct sendfile_op
  {
    tcp::socket& sock_;
    int fd_;
    Handler handler_;
    off_t offset_;
    std::size_t total_bytes_transferred_;

    // Function call operator meeting WriteHandler requirements.
    // Used as the handler for the async_write_some operation.
    void operator()(boost::system::error_code ec, std::size_t)
    {
      // Put the underlying socket into non-blocking mode.
      if (!ec)
        if (!sock_.native_non_blocking())
          sock_.native_non_blocking(true, ec);

      if (!ec)
      {
        for (;;)
        {
          // Try the system call.
          errno = 0;
          int n = ::sendfile(sock_.native_handle(), fd_, &offset_, 65536);
          ec = boost::system::error_code(n < 0 ? errno : 0,
              boost::asio::error::get_system_category());
          total_bytes_transferred_ += ec ? 0 : n;

          // Retry operation immediately if interrupted by signal.
          if (ec == boost::asio::error::interrupted)
            continue;

['Inherited from basic_socket.]


Sets the non-blocking mode of the native socket implementation. 


  void native_non_blocking(
      bool mode);


This function is used to modify the non-blocking mode of the underlying native socket. It has no effect on the behaviour of the socket object's synchronous operations.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[mode][If `true`, the underlying socket is put into non-blocking mode and direct system calls may fail with `boost::asio::error::would_block` (or the equivalent system error).]]

]


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure. If the `mode` is `false`, but the current value of `non_blocking()` is `true`, this function fails with `boost::asio::error::invalid_argument`, as the combination does not make sense.]]

]


[heading Example]
  
This function is intended to allow the encapsulation of arbitrary non-blocking system calls as asynchronous operations, in a way that is transparent to the user of the socket object. The following example illustrates how Linux's `sendfile` system call might be encapsulated:

    // Used as the handler for the async_write_some operation.
    void operator()(boost::system::error_code ec, std::size_t)
    {
      // Put the underlying socket into non-blocking mode.
      if (!ec)

[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `send`, `receive`, `connect`, and `shutdown` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.

      const MutableBufferSequence & buffers,

This function is used to asynchronously read data from the serial port. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the read completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    const boost::system::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
    std::size_t bytes_transferred // Number of bytes read.
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

]


[heading Completion Signature]
  


  void(boost::system::error_code, std::size_t) 





[heading Remarks]
      
The read operation may not read all of the requested number of bytes. Consider using the [link boost_asio.reference.async_read `async_read`] function if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is read before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  basic_serial_port.async_read_some(
      boost::asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.


[heading Per-Operation Cancellation]
  
On POSIX or Windows operating systems, this asynchronous operation supports cancellation for the following [link boost_asio.reference.cancellation_type `cancellation_type`] values:


* `cancellation_type::terminal` 


* `cancellation_type::partial` 


* `cancellation_type::total` 




[endsect]



[section:async_write_some basic_serial_port::async_write_some]

This function is used to asynchronously write data to the serial port. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more data buffers to be written to the serial port. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the write completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be:

    const boost::system::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
    std::size_t bytes_transferred // Number of bytes written.
  );

]


[heading Completion Signature]
  


  void(boost::system::error_code, std::size_t) 





[heading Remarks]
      
The write operation may not transmit all of the data to the peer. Consider using the [link boost_asio.reference.async_write `async_write`] function if you need to ensure that all data is written before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To write a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  basic_serial_port.async_write_some(
      boost::asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on writing multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read.]]

[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes read.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure. An error code of `boost::asio::error::eof` indicates that the connection was closed by the peer.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
The read\_some operation may not read all of the requested number of bytes. Consider using the [link boost_asio.reference.read `read`] function if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is read before the blocking operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  basic_serial_port.read_some(boost::asio::buffer(data, size));


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

The [link boost_asio.reference.basic_signal_set `basic_signal_set`] class provides the ability to perform an asynchronous wait for one or more signals to occur.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.


[heading Example]
  
Performing an asynchronous wait: 

  void handler(
      const boost::system::error_code& error,
      int signal_number)
  {
    if (!error)
    {
      // A signal occurred.
    }
  }

  ...

  // Construct a signal set registered for process termination.
  boost::asio::signal_set signals(my_context, SIGINT, SIGTERM);

  // Start an asynchronous wait for one of the signals to occur.
  signals.async_wait(handler);





[heading Queueing of signal notifications]
  


If a signal is registered with a signal\_set, and the signal occurs when there are no waiting handlers, then the signal notification is queued. The next async\_wait operation on that signal\_set will dequeue the notification. If multiple notifications are queued, subsequent async\_wait operations dequeue them one at a time. Signal notifications are dequeued in order of ascending signal number.

If a signal number is removed from a signal\_set (using the `remove` or `erase` member functions) then any queued notifications for that signal are discarded.


[heading Multiple registration of signals]
  


The same signal number may be registered with different signal\_set objects. When the signal occurs, one handler is called for each signal\_set object.

Note that multiple registration only works for signals that are registered using Asio. The application must not also register a signal handler using functions such as `signal()` or `sigaction()`.


[heading Signal masking on POSIX platforms]
  


POSIX allows signals to be blocked using functions such as `sigprocmask()` and `pthread_sigmask()`. For signals to be delivered, programs must ensure that any signals registered using signal\_set objects are unblocked in at least one thread.

[section:async_wait basic_signal_set::async_wait]

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.basic_signal_set.async_wait..async_wait..basic_signal_set] 
Start an asynchronous operation to wait for a signal to be delivered. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.SignalToken SignalToken]`` = default_completion_token_t<executor_type>>

      SignalToken && token = default_completion_token_t< executor_type >());


This function may be used to initiate an asynchronous wait against the signal set. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.

For each call to `async_wait()`, the completion handler will be called exactly once. The completion handler will be called when:


* One of the registered signals in the signal set occurs; or


* The signal set was cancelled, in which case the handler is passed the error code `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted`.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the wait completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    const boost::system::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
    int signal_number // Indicates which signal occurred.
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

This asynchronous operation supports cancellation for the following [link boost_asio.reference.cancellation_type `cancellation_type`] values:


* `cancellation_type::terminal` 


* `cancellation_type::partial` 


* `cancellation_type::total` 


[heading Remarks]
      
Unlike the POSIX function `signal`, `async_wait` executes its completion handler as specified in the [link boost_asio.reference.asynchronous_operations asynchronous operation requirements]. This means it places no async-signal safety restrictions on what work can be performed in a completion handler.

The [link boost_asio.reference.basic_signal_set `basic_signal_set`] class provides the ability to perform an asynchronous wait for one or more signals to occur.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.


[heading Example]
  
Performing an asynchronous wait: 

  void handler(
      const boost::system::error_code& error,
      int signal_number)
  {
    if (!error)
    {
      // A signal occurred.
    }
  }

  ...

  // Construct a signal set registered for process termination.
  boost::asio::signal_set signals(my_context, SIGINT, SIGTERM);

  // Start an asynchronous wait for one of the signals to occur.
  signals.async_wait(handler);





[heading Queueing of signal notifications]
  


If a signal is registered with a signal\_set, and the signal occurs when there are no waiting handlers, then the signal notification is queued. The next async\_wait operation on that signal\_set will dequeue the notification. If multiple notifications are queued, subsequent async\_wait operations dequeue them one at a time. Signal notifications are dequeued in order of ascending signal number.

If a signal number is removed from a signal\_set (using the `remove` or `erase` member functions) then any queued notifications for that signal are discarded.


[heading Multiple registration of signals]
  


The same signal number may be registered with different signal\_set objects. When the signal occurs, one handler is called for each signal\_set object.

Note that multiple registration only works for signals that are registered using Asio. The application must not also register a signal handler using functions such as `signal()` or `sigaction()`.


[heading Signal masking on POSIX platforms]
  


POSIX allows signals to be blocked using functions such as `sigprocmask()` and `pthread_sigmask()`. For signals to be delivered, programs must ensure that any signals registered using signal\_set objects are unblocked in at least one thread.

[section:async_connect basic_socket::async_connect]

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.basic_socket.async_connect..async_connect..basic_socket] 
Start an asynchronous connect. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.ConnectToken ConnectToken]`` = default_completion_token_t<executor_type>>
  ``[link boost_asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.automatic_deduction_of_initiating_function_return_type ['DEDUCED]]`` async_connect(
      const endpoint_type & peer_endpoint,
      ConnectToken && token = default_completion_token_t< executor_type >());


This function is used to asynchronously connect a socket to the specified remote endpoint. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.

The socket is automatically opened if it is not already open. If the connect fails, and the socket was automatically opened, the socket is not returned to the closed state.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[peer_endpoint][The remote endpoint to which the socket will be connected. Copies will be made of the endpoint object as required.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the connect completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    const boost::system::error_code& error // Result of operation.
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

This function is used to perform an asynchronous wait for a socket to enter a ready to read, write or error condition state. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[w][Specifies the desired socket state.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the wait completes.

[section:overload1 basic_socket::cancel (1 of 2 overloads)]


Cancel all asynchronous operations associated with the socket. 


  void cancel();


This function causes all outstanding asynchronous connect, send and receive operations to finish immediately, and the handlers for cancelled operations will be passed the `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted` error.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

[heading Remarks]
      
Calls to `cancel()` will always fail with `boost::asio::error::operation_not_supported` when run on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and earlier versions of Windows, unless BOOST\_ASIO\_ENABLE\_CANCELIO is defined. However, the CancelIo function has two issues that should be considered before enabling its use:


* It will only cancel asynchronous operations that were initiated in the current thread.


* It can appear to complete without error, but the request to cancel the unfinished operations may be silently ignored by the operating system. Whether it works or not seems to depend on the drivers that are installed.

For portable cancellation, consider using one of the following alternatives:


* Disable asio's I/O completion port backend by defining BOOST\_ASIO\_DISABLE\_IOCP.


* Use the `close()` function to simultaneously cancel the outstanding operations and close the socket.

When running on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later, the CancelIoEx function is always used. This function does not have the problems described above.

[section:overload1 basic_socket::native_non_blocking (1 of 3 overloads)]


Gets the non-blocking mode of the native socket implementation. 


  bool native_non_blocking() const;


This function is used to retrieve the non-blocking mode of the underlying native socket. This mode has no effect on the behaviour of the socket object's synchronous operations.


[heading Return Value]
      
`true` if the underlying socket is in non-blocking mode and direct system calls may fail with `boost::asio::error::would_block` (or the equivalent system error).


[heading Remarks]
      
The current non-blocking mode is cached by the socket object. Consequently, the return value may be incorrect if the non-blocking mode was set directly on the native socket.

This function is intended to allow the encapsulation of arbitrary non-blocking system calls as asynchronous operations, in a way that is transparent to the user of the socket object. The following example illustrates how Linux's `sendfile` system call might be encapsulated:

[section:overload3 basic_socket::native_non_blocking (3 of 3 overloads)]


Sets the non-blocking mode of the native socket implementation. 


  void native_non_blocking(
      bool mode,
      boost::system::error_code & ec);


This function is used to modify the non-blocking mode of the underlying native socket. It has no effect on the behaviour of the socket object's synchronous operations.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[mode][If `true`, the underlying socket is put into non-blocking mode and direct system calls may fail with `boost::asio::error::would_block` (or the equivalent system error).]]

[[ec][Set to indicate what error occurred, if any. If the `mode` is `false`, but the current value of `non_blocking()` is `true`, this function fails with `boost::asio::error::invalid_argument`, as the combination does not make sense.]]

]


[heading Example]
  
This function is intended to allow the encapsulation of arbitrary non-blocking system calls as asynchronous operations, in a way that is transparent to the user of the socket object. The following example illustrates how Linux's `sendfile` system call might be encapsulated: 

  template <typename Handler>
  struct sendfile_op
  {
    tcp::socket& sock_;
    int fd_;
    Handler handler_;
    off_t offset_;
    std::size_t total_bytes_transferred_;

    // Function call operator meeting WriteHandler requirements.
    // Used as the handler for the async_write_some operation.
    void operator()(boost::system::error_code ec, std::size_t)
    {
      // Put the underlying socket into non-blocking mode.
      if (!ec)
        if (!sock_.native_non_blocking())
          sock_.native_non_blocking(true, ec);

      if (!ec)
      {
        for (;;)
        {
          // Try the system call.
          errno = 0;
          int n = ::sendfile(sock_.native_handle(), fd_, &offset_, 65536);
          ec = boost::system::error_code(n < 0 ? errno : 0,
              boost::asio::error::get_system_category());
          total_bytes_transferred_ += ec ? 0 : n;

          // Retry operation immediately if interrupted by signal.
          if (ec == boost::asio::error::interrupted)
            continue;

          // Check if we need to run the operation again.
          if (ec == boost::asio::error::would_block
              || ec == boost::asio::error::try_again)
          {
            // We have to wait for the socket to become ready again.
            sock_.async_wait(tcp::socket::wait_write, *this);
            return;
          }

          if (ec || n == 0)
          {
            // An error occurred, or we have reached the end of the file.
            // Either way we must exit the loop so we can call the handler.
            break;
          }

          // Loop around to try calling sendfile again.
        }
      }

      // Pass result back to user's handler.
      handler_(ec, total_bytes_transferred_);
    }
  };

  template <typename Handler>
  void async_sendfile(tcp::socket& sock, int fd, Handler h)
  {
    sendfile_op<Handler> op = { sock, fd, h, 0, 0 };
    sock.async_wait(tcp::socket::wait_write, op);

[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `accept` operations are thread safe, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to synchronous `accept` operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.


[heading Example]
  
Opening a socket acceptor with the SO\_REUSEADDR option enabled: 

  boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(my_context);
  boost::asio::ip::tcp::endpoint endpoint(boost::asio::ip::tcp::v4(), port);
  acceptor.open(endpoint.protocol());
  acceptor.set_option(boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor::reuse_address(true));
  acceptor.bind(endpoint);
  acceptor.listen();

[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `accept` operations are thread safe, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to synchronous `accept` operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.


[heading Example]
  
Opening a socket acceptor with the SO\_REUSEADDR option enabled: 

  boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(my_context);
  boost::asio::ip::tcp::endpoint endpoint(boost::asio::ip::tcp::v4(), port);
  acceptor.open(endpoint.protocol());
  acceptor.set_option(boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor::reuse_address(true));
  acceptor.bind(endpoint);
  acceptor.listen();

This function is used to asynchronously read data from the stream file. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the read completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    const boost::system::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
    std::size_t bytes_transferred // Number of bytes read.
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

]


[heading Completion Signature]
  


  void(boost::system::error_code, std::size_t) 





[heading Remarks]
      
The read operation may not read all of the requested number of bytes. Consider using the [link boost_asio.reference.async_read `async_read`] function if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is read before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  file.async_read_some(boost::asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.


[heading Per-Operation Cancellation]
  
On POSIX or Windows operating systems, this asynchronous operation supports cancellation for the following [link boost_asio.reference.cancellation_type `cancellation_type`] values:


* `cancellation_type::terminal` 


* `cancellation_type::partial` 


* `cancellation_type::total`

This function is used to asynchronously write data to the stream file. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more data buffers to be written to the file. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[heading Completion Signature]
  


  void(boost::system::error_code, std::size_t) 





[heading Remarks]
      
The write operation may not transmit all of the data to the peer. Consider using the [link boost_asio.reference.async_write `async_write`] function if you need to ensure that all data is written before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To write a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  file.async_write_some(boost::asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on writing multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

[section:overload1 basic_stream_file::cancel (1 of 2 overloads)]


['Inherited from basic_file.]


Cancel all asynchronous operations associated with the file. 


  void cancel();


This function causes all outstanding asynchronous read and write operations to finish immediately, and the handlers for cancelled operations will be passed the `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted` error.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
Calls to `cancel()` will always fail with `boost::asio::error::operation_not_supported` when run on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and earlier versions of Windows, unless BOOST\_ASIO\_ENABLE\_CANCELIO is defined. However, the CancelIo function has two issues that should be considered before enabling its use:


* It will only cancel asynchronous operations that were initiated in the current thread.


* It can appear to complete without error, but the request to cancel the unfinished operations may be silently ignored by the operating system. Whether it works or not seems to depend on the drivers that are installed.

For portable cancellation, consider using the `close()` function to simultaneously cancel the outstanding operations and close the file.

When running on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later, the CancelIoEx function is always used. This function does not have the problems described above.

[section:overload1 basic_stream_file::read_some (1 of 2 overloads)]


Read some data from the file. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.MutableBufferSequence MutableBufferSequence]``>
  std::size_t read_some(
      const MutableBufferSequence & buffers);


This function is used to read data from the stream file. The function call will block until one or more bytes of data has been read successfully, or until an error occurs.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes read.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure. An error code of `boost::asio::error::eof` indicates that the end of the file was reached.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
The read\_some operation may not read all of the requested number of bytes. Consider using the [link boost_asio.reference.read `read`] function if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is read before the blocking operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  file.read_some(boost::asio::buffer(data, size));


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `send`, `receive`, `connect`, and `shutdown` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.

[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be received. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[[flags][Flags specifying how the receive call is to be made.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the receive completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    const boost::system::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
    std::size_t bytes_transferred // Number of bytes received.
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

[heading Completion Signature]
  


  void(boost::system::error_code, std::size_t) 





[heading Remarks]
      
The receive operation may not receive all of the requested number of bytes. Consider using the [link boost_asio.reference.async_read `async_read`] function if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is received before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To receive into a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  socket.async_receive(boost::asio::buffer(data, size), 0, handler);


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on receiving into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.


[heading Per-Operation Cancellation]
  
On POSIX or Windows operating systems, this asynchronous operation supports cancellation for the following [link boost_asio.reference.cancellation_type `cancellation_type`] values:


* `cancellation_type::terminal` 


* `cancellation_type::partial` 


* `cancellation_type::total`

[section:overload1 basic_stream_socket::cancel (1 of 2 overloads)]


['Inherited from basic_socket.]


Cancel all asynchronous operations associated with the socket. 


  void cancel();


This function causes all outstanding asynchronous connect, send and receive operations to finish immediately, and the handlers for cancelled operations will be passed the `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted` error.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
Calls to `cancel()` will always fail with `boost::asio::error::operation_not_supported` when run on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and earlier versions of Windows, unless BOOST\_ASIO\_ENABLE\_CANCELIO is defined. However, the CancelIo function has two issues that should be considered before enabling its use:


* It will only cancel asynchronous operations that were initiated in the current thread.


* It can appear to complete without error, but the request to cancel the unfinished operations may be silently ignored by the operating system. Whether it works or not seems to depend on the drivers that are installed.

For portable cancellation, consider using one of the following alternatives:


* Disable asio's I/O completion port backend by defining BOOST\_ASIO\_DISABLE\_IOCP.


* Use the `close()` function to simultaneously cancel the outstanding operations and close the socket.

When running on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later, the CancelIoEx function is always used. This function does not have the problems described above.

[section:overload1 basic_stream_socket::native_non_blocking (1 of 3 overloads)]


['Inherited from basic_socket.]


Gets the non-blocking mode of the native socket implementation. 


  bool native_non_blocking() const;


This function is used to retrieve the non-blocking mode of the underlying native socket. This mode has no effect on the behaviour of the socket object's synchronous operations.


[heading Return Value]
      
`true` if the underlying socket is in non-blocking mode and direct system calls may fail with `boost::asio::error::would_block` (or the equivalent system error).


[heading Remarks]
      
The current non-blocking mode is cached by the socket object. Consequently, the return value may be incorrect if the non-blocking mode was set directly on the native socket.

This function is intended to allow the encapsulation of arbitrary non-blocking system calls as asynchronous operations, in a way that is transparent to the user of the socket object. The following example illustrates how Linux's `sendfile` system call might be encapsulated:

[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `send`, `receive`, `connect`, and `shutdown` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.

The `basic_streambuf` class is derived from `std::streambuf` to associate the streambuf's input and output sequences with one or more character arrays. These character arrays are internal to the `basic_streambuf` object, but direct access to the array elements is provided to permit them to be used efficiently with I/O operations. Characters written to the output sequence of a `basic_streambuf` object are appended to the input sequence of the same object.

The `basic_streambuf` class's public interface is intended to permit the following implementation strategies:


* A single contiguous character array, which is reallocated as necessary to accommodate changes in the size of the character sequence. This is the implementation approach currently used in Asio.


* A sequence of one or more character arrays, where each array is of the same size. Additional character array objects are appended to the sequence to accommodate changes in the size of the character sequence.


* A sequence of one or more character arrays of varying sizes. Additional character array objects are appended to the sequence to accommodate changes in the size of the character sequence.

The constructor for [link boost_asio.reference.basic_streambuf `basic_streambuf`] accepts a `size_t` argument specifying the maximum of the sum of the sizes of the input sequence and output sequence. During the lifetime of the `basic_streambuf` object, the following invariant holds: 

  size() <= max_size()


Any member function that would, if successful, cause the invariant to be violated shall throw an exception of class `std::length_error`.

The constructor for `basic_streambuf` takes an Allocator argument. A copy of this argument is used for any memory allocation performed, by the constructor and by all member functions, during the lifetime of each `basic_streambuf` object.


[heading Examples]
  
Writing directly from an streambuf to a socket: 

  boost::asio::streambuf b;
  std::ostream os(&b);
  os << "Hello, World!\n";

  // try sending some data in input sequence
  size_t n = sock.send(b.data());

  b.consume(n); // sent data is removed from input sequence




Reading from a socket directly into a streambuf: 

  boost::asio::streambuf b;

  // reserve 512 bytes in output sequence
  boost::asio::streambuf::mutable_buffers_type bufs = b.prepare(512);

  size_t n = sock.receive(bufs);

  // received data is "committed" from output sequence to input sequence
  b.commit(n);

  std::istream is(&b);
  std::string s;
  is >> s;

The `basic_streambuf` class is derived from `std::streambuf` to associate the streambuf's input and output sequences with one or more character arrays. These character arrays are internal to the `basic_streambuf` object, but direct access to the array elements is provided to permit them to be used efficiently with I/O operations. Characters written to the output sequence of a `basic_streambuf` object are appended to the input sequence of the same object.

The `basic_streambuf` class's public interface is intended to permit the following implementation strategies:


* A single contiguous character array, which is reallocated as necessary to accommodate changes in the size of the character sequence. This is the implementation approach currently used in Asio.


* A sequence of one or more character arrays, where each array is of the same size. Additional character array objects are appended to the sequence to accommodate changes in the size of the character sequence.


* A sequence of one or more character arrays of varying sizes. Additional character array objects are appended to the sequence to accommodate changes in the size of the character sequence.

The constructor for [link boost_asio.reference.basic_streambuf `basic_streambuf`] accepts a `size_t` argument specifying the maximum of the sum of the sizes of the input sequence and output sequence. During the lifetime of the `basic_streambuf` object, the following invariant holds: 

  size() <= max_size()


Any member function that would, if successful, cause the invariant to be violated shall throw an exception of class `std::length_error`.

The constructor for `basic_streambuf` takes an Allocator argument. A copy of this argument is used for any memory allocation performed, by the constructor and by all member functions, during the lifetime of each `basic_streambuf` object.


[heading Examples]
  
Writing directly from an streambuf to a socket: 

  boost::asio::streambuf b;
  std::ostream os(&b);
  os << "Hello, World!\n";

  // try sending some data in input sequence
  size_t n = sock.send(b.data());

  b.consume(n); // sent data is removed from input sequence




Reading from a socket directly into a streambuf: 

  boost::asio::streambuf b;

  // reserve 512 bytes in output sequence
  boost::asio::streambuf::mutable_buffers_type bufs = b.prepare(512);

  size_t n = sock.receive(bufs);

  // received data is "committed" from output sequence to input sequence
  b.commit(n);

The [link boost_asio.reference.basic_waitable_timer `basic_waitable_timer`] class template provides the ability to perform a blocking or asynchronous wait for a timer to expire.

A waitable timer is always in one of two states: "expired" or "not expired". If the `wait()` or `async_wait()` function is called on an expired timer, the wait operation will complete immediately.

Most applications will use one of the [link boost_asio.reference.steady_timer `steady_timer`], [link boost_asio.reference.system_timer `system_timer`] or [link boost_asio.reference.high_resolution_timer `high_resolution_timer`] typedefs.


[heading Remarks]
      
This waitable timer functionality is for use with the C++11 standard library's `<chrono>` facility, or with the Boost.Chrono library.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.


[heading Examples]
  
Performing a blocking wait (C++11): 

  // Construct a timer without setting an expiry time.
  boost::asio::steady_timer timer(my_context);

  // Set an expiry time relative to now.
  timer.expires_after(std::chrono::seconds(5));

  // Wait for the timer to expire.
  timer.wait();





Performing an asynchronous wait (C++11): 

  void handler(const boost::system::error_code& error)
  {
    if (!error)
    {
      // Timer expired.
    }
  }

  ...

  // Construct a timer with an absolute expiry time.
  boost::asio::steady_timer timer(my_context,
      std::chrono::steady_clock::now() + std::chrono::seconds(60));

  // Start an asynchronous wait.
  timer.async_wait(handler);





[heading Changing an active waitable timer's expiry time]
  


Changing the expiry time of a timer while there are pending asynchronous waits causes those wait operations to be cancelled. To ensure that the action associated with the timer is performed only once, use something like this: used:



  void on_some_event()
  {
    if (my_timer.expires_after(seconds(5)) > 0)
    {
      // We managed to cancel the timer. Start new asynchronous wait.
      my_timer.async_wait(on_timeout);
    }
    else
    {
      // Too late, timer has already expired!
    }
  }

  void on_timeout(const boost::system::error_code& e)
  {
    if (e != boost::asio::error::operation_aborted)
    {
      // Timer was not cancelled, take necessary action.
    }
  }





* The `boost::asio::basic_waitable_timer::expires_after()` function cancels any pending asynchronous waits, and returns the number of asynchronous waits that were cancelled. If it returns 0 then you were too late and the wait handler has already been executed, or will soon be executed. If it returns 1 then the wait handler was successfully cancelled.


* If a wait handler is cancelled, the boost::system::error\_code passed to it contains the value `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted`.

[section:async_wait basic_waitable_timer::async_wait]

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.basic_waitable_timer.async_wait..async_wait..basic_waitable_timer] 
Start an asynchronous wait on the timer. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.WaitToken WaitToken]`` = default_completion_token_t<executor_type>>
  ``[link boost_asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.automatic_deduction_of_initiating_function_return_type ['DEDUCED]]`` async_wait(
      WaitToken && token = default_completion_token_t< executor_type >());


This function may be used to initiate an asynchronous wait against the timer. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.

For each call to `async_wait()`, the completion handler will be called exactly once. The completion handler will be called when:


* The timer has expired.


* The timer was cancelled, in which case the handler is passed the error code `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted`.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the timer expires. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    const boost::system::error_code& error // Result of operation.
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

]


[heading Completion Signature]
  


  void(boost::system::error_code) 





[heading Per-Operation Cancellation]
  
This asynchronous operation supports cancellation for the following [link boost_asio.reference.cancellation_type `cancellation_type`] values:


* `cancellation_type::terminal` 


* `cancellation_type::partial` 


* `cancellation_type::total`

[section:cancel basic_waitable_timer::cancel]

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.basic_waitable_timer.cancel..cancel..basic_waitable_timer] 
Cancel any asynchronous operations that are waiting on the timer. 


  std::size_t cancel();


This function forces the completion of any pending asynchronous wait operations against the timer. The handler for each cancelled operation will be invoked with the `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted` error code.

Cancelling the timer does not change the expiry time.


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of asynchronous operations that were cancelled.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
If the timer has already expired when `cancel()` is called, then the handlers for asynchronous wait operations will:


* have already been invoked; or


* have been queued for invocation in the near future.

These handlers can no longer be cancelled, and therefore are passed an error code that indicates the successful completion of the wait operation. 


[endsect]



[section:cancel_one basic_waitable_timer::cancel_one]

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.basic_waitable_timer.cancel_one..cancel_one..basic_waitable_timer] 
Cancels one asynchronous operation that is waiting on the timer. 


  std::size_t cancel_one();


This function forces the completion of one pending asynchronous wait operation against the timer. Handlers are cancelled in FIFO order. The handler for the cancelled operation will be invoked with the `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted` error code.

Cancelling the timer does not change the expiry time.


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of asynchronous operations that were cancelled. That is, either 0 or 1.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
If the timer has already expired when `cancel_one()` is called, then the handlers for asynchronous wait operations will:


* have already been invoked; or

The [link boost_asio.reference.basic_waitable_timer `basic_waitable_timer`] class template provides the ability to perform a blocking or asynchronous wait for a timer to expire.

A waitable timer is always in one of two states: "expired" or "not expired". If the `wait()` or `async_wait()` function is called on an expired timer, the wait operation will complete immediately.

Most applications will use one of the [link boost_asio.reference.steady_timer `steady_timer`], [link boost_asio.reference.system_timer `system_timer`] or [link boost_asio.reference.high_resolution_timer `high_resolution_timer`] typedefs.


[heading Remarks]
      
This waitable timer functionality is for use with the C++11 standard library's `<chrono>` facility, or with the Boost.Chrono library.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.


[heading Examples]
  
Performing a blocking wait (C++11): 

  // Construct a timer without setting an expiry time.
  boost::asio::steady_timer timer(my_context);

  // Set an expiry time relative to now.
  timer.expires_after(std::chrono::seconds(5));

  // Wait for the timer to expire.
  timer.wait();





Performing an asynchronous wait (C++11): 

  void handler(const boost::system::error_code& error)
  {
    if (!error)
    {
      // Timer expired.
    }
  }

  ...

  // Construct a timer with an absolute expiry time.
  boost::asio::steady_timer timer(my_context,
      std::chrono::steady_clock::now() + std::chrono::seconds(60));

  // Start an asynchronous wait.
  timer.async_wait(handler);





[heading Changing an active waitable timer's expiry time]
  


Changing the expiry time of a timer while there are pending asynchronous waits causes those wait operations to be cancelled. To ensure that the action associated with the timer is performed only once, use something like this: used:



  void on_some_event()
  {
    if (my_timer.expires_after(seconds(5)) > 0)
    {
      // We managed to cancel the timer. Start new asynchronous wait.
      my_timer.async_wait(on_timeout);
    }
    else
    {
      // Too late, timer has already expired!
    }
  }

  void on_timeout(const boost::system::error_code& e)
  {
    if (e != boost::asio::error::operation_aborted)
    {
      // Timer was not cancelled, take necessary action.
    }
  }





* The `boost::asio::basic_waitable_timer::expires_after()` function cancels any pending asynchronous waits, and returns the number of asynchronous waits that were cancelled. If it returns 0 then you were too late and the wait handler has already been executed, or will soon be executed. If it returns 1 then the wait handler was successfully cancelled.


* If a wait handler is cancelled, the boost::system::error\_code passed to it contains the value `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted`.

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.basic_writable_pipe.async_write_some..async_write_some..basic_writable_pipe] 
Start an asynchronous write. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.ConstBufferSequence ConstBufferSequence]``,
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.WriteToken WriteToken]`` = default_completion_token_t<executor_type>>
  ``[link boost_asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.automatic_deduction_of_initiating_function_return_type ['DEDUCED]]`` async_write_some(
      const ConstBufferSequence & buffers,
      WriteToken && token = default_completion_token_t< executor_type >());


This function is used to asynchronously write data to the pipe. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more data buffers to be written to the pipe. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the write completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    const boost::system::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
    std::size_t bytes_transferred // Number of bytes written.
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

]


[heading Completion Signature]
  


  void(boost::system::error_code, std::size_t) 





[heading Remarks]
      
The write operation may not transmit all of the data to the peer. Consider using the [link boost_asio.reference.async_write `async_write`] function if you need to ensure that all data is written before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To write a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  pipe.async_write_some(boost::asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on writing multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

[heading Remarks]
      
The write\_some operation may not transmit all of the data to the peer. Consider using the [link boost_asio.reference.write `write`] function if you need to ensure that all data is written before the blocking operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To write a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  pipe.write_some(boost::asio::buffer(data, size));


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on writing multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

The [link boost_asio.reference.basic_yield_context `basic_yield_context`] class is a completion token type that is used to represent the currently executing stackful coroutine. A [link boost_asio.reference.basic_yield_context `basic_yield_context`] object may be passed as a completion token to an asynchronous operation. For example:



  template <typename Executor>
  void my_coroutine(basic_yield_context<Executor> yield)
  {
    ...
    std::size_t n = my_socket.async_read_some(buffer, yield);
    ...
  } 




The initiating function (async\_read\_some in the above example) suspends the current coroutine. The coroutine is resumed when the asynchronous operation completes, and the result of the operation is returned.

By default, when a yield context is used with an asynchronous operation, a non-success error\_code is converted to system\_error and thrown. This operator may be used to specify an error\_code object that should instead be set with the asynchronous operation's result. For example:



  template <typename Executor>
  void my_coroutine(basic_yield_context<Executor> yield)
  {
    ...
    std::size_t n = my_socket.async_read_some(buffer, yield[ec]);

A buffer object represents a contiguous region of memory as a 2-tuple consisting of a pointer and size in bytes. A tuple of the form `{void*, size_t}` specifies a mutable (modifiable) region of memory. Similarly, a tuple of the form `{const void*, size_t}` specifies a const (non-modifiable) region of memory. These two forms correspond to the classes [link boost_asio.reference.mutable_buffer `mutable_buffer`] and [link boost_asio.reference.const_buffer `const_buffer`], respectively. To mirror C++'s conversion rules, a [link boost_asio.reference.mutable_buffer `mutable_buffer`] is implicitly convertible to a [link boost_asio.reference.const_buffer `const_buffer`], and the opposite conversion is not permitted.

The simplest use case involves reading or writing a single buffer of a specified size:



  sock.send(boost::asio::buffer(data, size)); 




In the above example, the return value of [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] meets the requirements of the ConstBufferSequence concept so that it may be directly passed to the socket's write function. A buffer created for modifiable memory also meets the requirements of the MutableBufferSequence concept.

An individual buffer may be created from a builtin array, std::vector, std::array or boost::array of POD elements. This helps prevent buffer overruns by automatically determining the size of the buffer:



  char d1[128];
  size_t bytes_transferred = sock.receive(boost::asio::buffer(d1));

  std::vector<char> d2(128);
  bytes_transferred = sock.receive(boost::asio::buffer(d2));

  std::array<char, 128> d3;
  bytes_transferred = sock.receive(boost::asio::buffer(d3));

  boost::array<char, 128> d4;
  bytes_transferred = sock.receive(boost::asio::buffer(d4)); 




In all three cases above, the buffers created are exactly 128 bytes long. Note that a vector is ['never] automatically resized when creating or using a buffer. The buffer size is determined using the vector's `size()` member function, and not its capacity.


[heading Accessing Buffer Contents]
  


The contents of a buffer may be accessed using the `data()` and `size()` member functions:



  boost::asio::mutable_buffer b1 = ...;
  std::size_t s1 = b1.size();
  unsigned char* p1 = static_cast<unsigned char*>(b1.data());

  boost::asio::const_buffer b2 = ...;
  std::size_t s2 = b2.size();
  const void* p2 = b2.data(); 




The `data()` member function permits violations of type safety, so uses of it in application code should be carefully considered.

For convenience, a [link boost_asio.reference.buffer_size `buffer_size`] function is provided that works with both buffers and buffer sequences (that is, types meeting the ConstBufferSequence or MutableBufferSequence type requirements). In this case, the function returns the total size of all buffers in the sequence.


[heading Buffer Copying]
  


The [link boost_asio.reference.buffer_copy `buffer_copy`] function may be used to copy raw bytes between individual buffers and buffer sequences.

In particular, when used with the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer_size `buffer_size`] function, the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer_copy `buffer_copy`] function can be used to linearise a sequence of buffers. For example:



  vector<const_buffer> buffers = ...;

  vector<unsigned char> data(boost::asio::buffer_size(buffers));
  boost::asio::buffer_copy(boost::asio::buffer(data), buffers); 




Note that [link boost_asio.reference.buffer_copy `buffer_copy`] is implemented in terms of `memcpy`, and consequently it cannot be used to copy between overlapping memory regions.


[heading Buffer Invalidation]
  


A buffer object does not have any ownership of the memory it refers to. It is the responsibility of the application to ensure the memory region remains valid until it is no longer required for an I/O operation. When the memory is no longer available, the buffer is said to have been invalidated.

For the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] overloads that accept an argument of type std::vector, the buffer objects returned are invalidated by any vector operation that also invalidates all references, pointers and iterators referring to the elements in the sequence (C++ Std, 23.2.4)

For the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] overloads that accept an argument of type std::basic\_string, the buffer objects returned are invalidated according to the rules defined for invalidation of references, pointers and iterators referring to elements of the sequence (C++ Std, 21.3).


[heading Buffer Arithmetic]
  


Buffer objects may be manipulated using simple arithmetic in a safe way which helps prevent buffer overruns. Consider an array initialised as follows:



  boost::array<char, 6> a = { 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' }; 




A buffer object `b1` created using:



  b1 = boost::asio::buffer(a); 




represents the entire array, `{ 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' }`. An optional second argument to the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function may be used to limit the size, in bytes, of the buffer:



  b2 = boost::asio::buffer(a, 3); 




such that `b2` represents the data `{ 'a', 'b', 'c' }`. Even if the size argument exceeds the actual size of the array, the size of the buffer object created will be limited to the array size.

An offset may be applied to an existing buffer to create a new one:



  b3 = b1 + 2; 




where `b3` will set to represent `{ 'c', 'd', 'e' }`. If the offset exceeds the size of the existing buffer, the newly created buffer will be empty.

Both an offset and size may be specified to create a buffer that corresponds to a specific range of bytes within an existing buffer:



  b4 = boost::asio::buffer(b1 + 1, 3); 




so that `b4` will refer to the bytes `{ 'b', 'c', 'd' }`.


[heading Buffers and Scatter-Gather I/O]
  


To read or write using multiple buffers (i.e. scatter-gather I/O), multiple buffer objects may be assigned into a container that supports the MutableBufferSequence (for read) or ConstBufferSequence (for write) concepts:



  char d1[128];
  std::vector<char> d2(128);
  boost::array<char, 128> d3;

  boost::array<mutable_buffer, 3> bufs1 = {
    boost::asio::buffer(d1),
    boost::asio::buffer(d2),
    boost::asio::buffer(d3) };
  bytes_transferred = sock.receive(bufs1);

  std::vector<const_buffer> bufs2;
  bufs2.push_back(boost::asio::buffer(d1));
  bufs2.push_back(boost::asio::buffer(d2));
  bufs2.push_back(boost::asio::buffer(d3));
  bytes_transferred = sock.send(bufs2); 





[heading Buffer Literals]
  


The `_buf` literal suffix, defined in namespace `boost::asio::buffer_literals`, may be used to create `const_buffer` objects from string, binary integer, and hexadecimal integer literals. For example:



  using namespace boost::asio::buffer_literals;

  boost::asio::const_buffer b1 = "hello"_buf;
  boost::asio::const_buffer b2 = 0xdeadbeef_buf;
  boost::asio::const_buffer b3 = 0x0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef_buf;
  boost::asio::const_buffer b4 = 0b1010101011001100_buf; 




Note that the memory associated with a buffer literal is valid for the lifetime of the program. This means that the buffer can be safely used with asynchronous operations.

[section:buffer_copy buffer_copy]

[indexterm1 boost_asio.indexterm.buffer_copy..buffer_copy]

The [link boost_asio.reference.buffer_copy `buffer_copy`] function is used to copy bytes from a source buffer (or buffer sequence) to a target buffer (or buffer sequence). 


Copies bytes from a source buffer sequence to a target buffer sequence. 

  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.MutableBufferSequence MutableBufferSequence]``,
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.ConstBufferSequence ConstBufferSequence]``>
  std::size_t ``[link boost_asio.reference.buffer_copy.overload1 buffer_copy]``(
      const MutableBufferSequence & target,
      const ConstBufferSequence & source);
  ``  [''''&raquo;''' [link boost_asio.reference.buffer_copy.overload1 more...]]``

Copies a limited number of bytes from a source buffer sequence to a target buffer sequence. 

  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.MutableBufferSequence MutableBufferSequence]``,
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.ConstBufferSequence ConstBufferSequence]``>
  std::size_t ``[link boost_asio.reference.buffer_copy.overload2 buffer_copy]``(
      const MutableBufferSequence & target,
      const ConstBufferSequence & source,
      std::size_t max_bytes_to_copy);
  ``  [''''&raquo;''' [link boost_asio.reference.buffer_copy.overload2 more...]]``

The `buffer_copy` function is available in two forms:


* A 2-argument form: `buffer_copy(target, source)` 


* A 3-argument form: `buffer_copy(target, source, max_bytes_to_copy)` 

Both forms return the number of bytes actually copied. The number of bytes copied is the lesser of:


* `buffer_size(target)` 


* `buffer_size(source)` 


* `If` specified, `max_bytes_to_copy`.

This prevents buffer overflow, regardless of the buffer sizes used in the copy operation.

Note that [link boost_asio.reference.buffer_copy `buffer_copy`] is implemented in terms of `memcpy`, and consequently it cannot be used to copy between overlapping memory regions.

Get the total number of bytes in a buffer sequence.

      const BufferSequence & b);


The `buffer_size` function determines the total size of all buffers in the buffer sequence, as if computed as follows:



  size_t total_size = 0;
  auto i = boost::asio::buffer_sequence_begin(buffers);
  auto end = boost::asio::buffer_sequence_end(buffers);
  for (; i != end; ++i)
  {
    const_buffer b(*i);
    total_size += b.size();
  }
  return total_size; 




The `BufferSequence` template parameter may meet either of the `ConstBufferSequence` or `MutableBufferSequence` type requirements.

[section:overload1 cancel_at (1 of 6 overloads)]


Create a partial completion token adapter that cancels an operation if not complete by the specified absolute time. 


  template<

[heading Thread Safety]
  
When an asynchronous operation is used with cancel\_at, a timer async\_wait operation is performed in parallel to the main operation. If this parallel async\_wait completes first, a cancellation request is emitted to cancel the main operation. Consequently, the application must ensure that the asynchronous operation is performed within an implicit or explicit strand.

The type of the function's argument. 


  typedef see_below argument_type;



The type of `argument_type` is based on the type `T` of the wrapper's target object:


* if `T` is a pointer to a function type accepting a single argument, `argument_type` is a synonym for the return type of `T`;


* if `T` is a class type with a member type `argument_type`, then `argument_type` is a synonym for `T::argument_type`;


* otherwise `argument_type` is not defined.

[section:co_composed co_composed]

[indexterm1 boost_asio.indexterm.co_composed..co_composed]

Creates an initiation function object that may be used to launch a coroutine-based composed asynchronous operation. 


  template<
      typename... Signatures,
      typename Implementation,
      typename... IoObjectsOrExecutors>
  auto co_composed(
      Implementation && implementation,
      IoObjectsOrExecutors &&... io_objects_or_executors);


The co\_composed utility simplifies the implementation of composed asynchronous operations by automatically adapting a coroutine to be an initiation function object for use with `async_initiate`. When awaiting asynchronous operations, the coroutine automatically uses a conforming intermediate completion handler.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[implementation][A function object that contains the coroutine-based implementation of the composed asynchronous operation. The first argument to the function object represents the state of the operation, and may be used to test for cancellation. The remaining arguments are those passed to `async_initiate` after the completion token.]]

[[io_objects_or_executors][Zero or more I/O objects or I/O executors for which outstanding work must be maintained while the operation is incomplete.]]

]


[heading Per-Operation Cancellation]
  
By default, terminal per-operation cancellation is enabled for composed operations that use co\_composed. To disable cancellation for the composed operation, or to alter its supported cancellation types, call the state's `reset_cancellation_state` function.


[heading Examples]
  
The following example illustrates manual error handling and explicit checks for cancellation. The completion handler is invoked via a `co_yield` to the state's `complete` function, which never returns.



  template <typename CompletionToken>
  auto async_echo(tcp::socket& socket,
      CompletionToken&& token)
  {
    return boost::asio::async_initiate<
      CompletionToken, void(boost::system::error_code)>(
        boost::asio::co_composed(
          [](auto state, tcp::socket& socket) -> void
          {
            state.reset_cancellation_state(

              auto [e1, n1] =
                co_await socket.async_read_some(
                  boost::asio::buffer(data));

              if (!!state.cancelled())
                co_yield state.complete(

              auto [e2, n2] =

            }
          }, socket),
        token, std::ref(socket));
  } 




This next example shows exception-based error handling and implicit checks for cancellation. The completion handler is invoked after returning from the coroutine via `co_return`. Valid `co_return` values are specified using completion signatures passed to the `co_composed` function.

The [link boost_asio.reference.completion_signature_of `completion_signature_of`] trait determines the completion signature of an asynchronous operation.

Class template `completion_signature_of` is a trait with a member type alias `type` that denotes the completion signature of the asynchronous operation initiated by the expression `T(Args..., token)` operation, where `token` is an unspecified completion token type. If the asynchronous operation does not have exactly one completion signature, the instantion of the trait is well-formed but the member type alias `type` is omitted. If the expression `T(Args..., token)` is not an asynchronous operation then use of the trait is ill-formed.

[section:composed composed]

[indexterm1 boost_asio.indexterm.composed..composed]

Creates an initiation function object that may be used to launch an asynchronous operation with a stateful implementation. 


  template<
      typename... Signatures,
      typename Implementation,
      typename... IoObjectsOrExecutors>
  auto composed(
      Implementation && implementation,
      IoObjectsOrExecutors &&... io_objects_or_executors);


The `composed` function simplifies the implementation of composed asynchronous operations automatically by wrapping a stateful function object for use as an initiation function object.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[implementation][A function object that contains the implementation of the composed asynchronous operation. The first argument to the function object is a non-const reference to the enclosing intermediate completion handler. The remaining arguments are any arguments that originate from the completion handlers of any asynchronous operations performed by the implementation.]]

[[io_objects_or_executors][Zero or more I/O objects or I/O executors for which outstanding work must be maintained.]]

]


[heading Per-Operation Cancellation]
  
By default, terminal per-operation cancellation is enabled for composed operations that are implemented using `composed`. To disable cancellation for the composed operation, or to alter its supported cancellation types, call the `self` object's `reset_cancellation_state` function.


[heading Example:]

]

The [link boost_asio.reference.const_buffer `const_buffer`] class provides a safe representation of a buffer that cannot be modified. It does not own the underlying data, and so is cheap to copy or assign.


[heading Accessing Buffer Contents]
  


The contents of a buffer may be accessed using the `data()` and `size()` member functions:



  boost::asio::const_buffer b1 = ...;
  std::size_t s1 = b1.size();
  const unsigned char* p1 = static_cast<const unsigned char*>(b1.data());




The `data()` member function permits violations of type safety, so uses of it in application code should be carefully considered.

[section:coroutine coroutine]

[indexterm1 boost_asio.indexterm.coroutine..coroutine]


Provides support for implementing stackless coroutines. 


  class coroutine


[heading Member Functions]
[table
  [[Name][Description]]

  [
    [[link boost_asio.reference.coroutine.coroutine [*coroutine]] [constructor]]
    [Constructs a coroutine in its initial state. ]
  ]
  
  [
    [[link boost_asio.reference.coroutine.is_child [*is_child]]]

    [Returns true if the coroutine is the parent of a fork. ]
  ]
  
]

The `coroutine` class may be used to implement stackless coroutines. The class itself is used to store the current state of the coroutine.

Coroutines are copy-constructible and assignable, and the space overhead is a single int. They can be used as a base class:



  class session : coroutine
  {
    ...
  }; 




or as a data member:



  class session
  {
    ...
    coroutine coro_;
  }; 




or even bound in as a function argument using lambdas or `bind()`. The important thing is that as the application maintains a copy of the object for as long as the coroutine must be kept alive.


[heading Pseudo-keywords]
  


A coroutine is used in conjunction with certain "pseudo-keywords", which are implemented as macros. These macros are defined by a header file:



  #include <boost/asio/yield.hpp>




and may conversely be undefined as follows:



  #include <boost/asio/unyield.hpp>




[*reenter]

The `reenter` macro is used to define the body of a coroutine. It takes a single argument: a pointer or reference to a coroutine object. For example, if the base class is a coroutine object you may write:



  reenter (this)
  {
    ... coroutine body ...
  } 




and if a data member or other variable you can write:



  reenter (coro_)
  {
    ... coroutine body ...
  } 




When `reenter` is executed at runtime, control jumps to the location of the last `yield` or `fork`.

The coroutine body may also be a single statement, such as:



  reenter (this) for (;;)
  {
    ...
  } 




[*Limitation:] The `reenter` macro is implemented using a switch. This means that you must take care when using local variables within the coroutine body. The local variable is not allowed in a position where reentering the coroutine could bypass the variable definition.

[*yield ['statement]]

This form of the `yield` keyword is often used with asynchronous operations:



  yield socket_->async_read_some(buffer(*buffer_), *this); 




This divides into four logical steps:


* `yield` saves the current state of the coroutine. 

* The statement initiates the asynchronous operation. 

* The resume point is defined immediately following the statement. 

* Control is transferred to the end of the coroutine body.

When the asynchronous operation completes, the function object is invoked and `reenter` causes control to transfer to the resume point. It is important to remember to carry the coroutine state forward with the asynchronous operation. In the above snippet, the current class is a function object object with a coroutine object as base class or data member.

The statement may also be a compound statement, and this permits us to define local variables with limited scope:



  yield
  {
    mutable_buffer b = buffer(*buffer_);
    socket_->async_read_some(b, *this);
  } 




[*yield return ['expression] ;]

This form of `yield` is often used in generators or coroutine-based parsers. For example, the function object:



  struct interleave : coroutine
  {
    istream& is1;
    istream& is2;
    char operator()(char c)
    {
      reenter (this) for (;;)
      {
        yield return is1.get();
        yield return is2.get();
      }
    }
  }; 




defines a trivial coroutine that interleaves the characters from two input streams.

This type of `yield` divides into three logical steps:


* `yield` saves the current state of the coroutine. 

* The resume point is defined immediately following the semicolon. 

* The value of the expression is returned from the function.

[*yield ;]

This form of `yield` is equivalent to the following steps:


* `yield` saves the current state of the coroutine. 

* The resume point is defined immediately following the semicolon. 

* Control is transferred to the end of the coroutine body.

This form might be applied when coroutines are used for cooperative threading and scheduling is explicitly managed. For example:



  struct task : coroutine
  {
    ...
    void operator()()
    {
      reenter (this)
      {
        while (... not finished ...)
        {
          ... do something ...
          yield;
          ... do some more ...
          yield;
        }
      }
    }
    ...
  };
  ...
  task t1, t2;
  for (;;)
  {
    t1();
    t2();
  } 




[*yield break ;]

The final form of `yield` is used to explicitly terminate the coroutine. This form is comprised of two steps:


* `yield` sets the coroutine state to indicate termination. 

* Control is transferred to the end of the coroutine body.

Once terminated, calls to `is_complete()` return true and the coroutine cannot be reentered.

Note that a coroutine may also be implicitly terminated if the coroutine body is exited without a yield, e.g. by return, throw or by running to the end of the body.

[*fork ['statement]]

The `fork` pseudo-keyword is used when "forking" a coroutine, i.e. splitting it into two (or more) copies. One use of `fork` is in a server, where a new coroutine is created to handle each client connection:



  reenter (this)
  {
    do
    {
      socket_.reset(new tcp::socket(my_context_));
      yield acceptor->async_accept(*socket_, *this);
      fork server(*this)();
    } while (is_parent());
    ... client-specific handling follows ...
  } 




The logical steps involved in a `fork` are:


* `fork` saves the current state of the coroutine. 

* The statement creates a copy of the coroutine and either executes it immediately or schedules it for later execution. 

* The resume point is defined immediately following the semicolon. 

* For the "parent", control immediately continues from the next line.

The functions `is_parent()` and `is_child()` can be used to differentiate between parent and child. You would use these functions to alter subsequent control flow.

Note that `fork` doesn't do the actual forking by itself. It is the application's responsibility to create a clone of the coroutine and call it. The clone can be called immediately, as above, or scheduled for delayed execution using something like [link boost_asio.reference.post `post`].


[heading Alternate macro names]
  


If preferred, an application can use macro names that follow a more typical naming convention, rather than the pseudo-keywords. These are:


* `BOOST_ASIO_CORO_REENTER` instead of `reenter` 

* `BOOST_ASIO_CORO_YIELD` instead of `yield` 

* `BOOST_ASIO_CORO_FORK` instead of `fork`

The [link boost_asio.reference.basic_deadline_timer `basic_deadline_timer`] class template provides the ability to perform a blocking or asynchronous wait for a timer to expire.

A deadline timer is always in one of two states: "expired" or "not expired". If the `wait()` or `async_wait()` function is called on an expired timer, the wait operation will complete immediately.

Most applications will use the [link boost_asio.reference.deadline_timer `deadline_timer`] typedef.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.


[heading Examples]
  
Performing a blocking wait: 

  // Construct a timer without setting an expiry time.
  boost::asio::deadline_timer timer(my_context);

  // Set an expiry time relative to now.
  timer.expires_from_now(boost::posix_time::seconds(5));

  // Wait for the timer to expire.
  timer.wait();





Performing an asynchronous wait: 

  void handler(const boost::system::error_code& error)
  {
    if (!error)
    {
      // Timer expired.
    }
  }

  ...

  // Construct a timer with an absolute expiry time.
  boost::asio::deadline_timer timer(my_context,
      boost::posix_time::time_from_string("2005-12-07 23:59:59.000"));

  // Start an asynchronous wait.
  timer.async_wait(handler);





[heading Changing an active deadline_timer's expiry time]
  


Changing the expiry time of a timer while there are pending asynchronous waits causes those wait operations to be cancelled. To ensure that the action associated with the timer is performed only once, use something like this: used:



  void on_some_event()
  {
    if (my_timer.expires_from_now(seconds(5)) > 0)
    {
      // We managed to cancel the timer. Start new asynchronous wait.
      my_timer.async_wait(on_timeout);
    }
    else
    {
      // Too late, timer has already expired!
    }
  }

  void on_timeout(const boost::system::error_code& e)
  {
    if (e != boost::asio::error::operation_aborted)
    {
      // Timer was not cancelled, take necessary action.
    }
  }





* The `boost::asio::basic_deadline_timer::expires_from_now()` function cancels any pending asynchronous waits, and returns the number of asynchronous waits that were cancelled. If it returns 0 then you were too late and the wait handler has already been executed, or will soon be executed. If it returns 1 then the wait handler was successfully cancelled.


* If a wait handler is cancelled, the boost::system::error\_code passed to it contains the value `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted`.

A program may specialise this traits type if the `T` template parameter in the specialisation is a user-defined type.

Specialisations of this trait may provide a nested typedef `type`, which is a default-constructible completion token type.

If not otherwise specialised, the default completion token type is [link boost_asio.reference.deferred_t `deferred_t`].

[section:overload1 defer (1 of 3 overloads)]


Submits a completion token or function object for execution. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.NullaryToken NullaryToken]``>
  auto defer(
      NullaryToken && token);


This function submits an object for execution using the object's associated executor. The function object is queued for execution, and is never called from the current thread prior to returning from `defer()`.

The use of `defer()`, rather than [link boost_asio.reference.post `post`], indicates the caller's preference that the executor defer the queueing of the function object. This may allow the executor to optimise queueing for cases when the function object represents a continuation of the current call context.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(); 
``
]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
This function returns `async_initiate<NullaryToken, void()>(Init{}, token)`, where `Init` is a function object type defined as:



  class Init
  {
  public:
    template <typename CompletionHandler>
      void operator()(CompletionHandler&& completion_handler) const;
  }; 




The function call operator of `Init:` 


* Obtains the handler's associated executor object `ex` of type `Ex` by performing 

  auto ex = get_associated_executor(handler); 





* Obtains the handler's associated allocator object `alloc` by performing 

  auto alloc = get_associated_allocator(handler); 





* If `execution::is_executor<Ex>::value` is true, performs 

  prefer(
     require(ex, execution::blocking.never),
     execution::relationship.continuation,
     execution::allocator(alloc)
   ).execute(std::forward<CompletionHandler>(completion_handler)); 





* If `execution::is_executor<Ex>::value` is false, performs 

  ex.defer(
     std::forward<CompletionHandler>(completion_handler),
     alloc);

  auto defer(
      const Executor & ex,
      NullaryToken && token = default_completion_token_t< Executor >(),
      constraint_t<(execution::is_executor< Executor >::value &&can_require< Executor, execution::blocking_t::never_t >::value)||is_executor< Executor >::value >  = 0);


This function submits an object for execution using the specified executor. The function object is queued for execution, and is never called from the current thread prior to returning from `defer()`.

The use of `defer()`, rather than [link boost_asio.reference.post `post`], indicates the caller's preference that the executor defer the queueing of the function object. This may allow the executor to optimise queueing for cases when the function object represents a continuation of the current call context.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[ex][The target executor.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(); 
``
]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
This function returns `async_initiate<NullaryToken, void()>(Init{ex}, token)`, where `Init` is a function object type defined as:



  class Init
  {
  public:
    using executor_type = Executor;
    explicit Init(const Executor& ex) : ex_(ex) {}
    executor_type get_executor() const noexcept { return ex_; }
    template <typename CompletionHandler>
      void operator()(CompletionHandler&& completion_handler) const;
  private:
    Executor ex_; // exposition only
  }; 




The function call operator of `Init:` 


* Obtains the handler's associated executor object `ex1` of type `Ex1` by performing 

  auto ex1 = get_associated_executor(handler, ex); 





* Obtains the handler's associated allocator object `alloc` by performing 

  auto alloc = get_associated_allocator(handler); 





* If `execution::is_executor<Ex1>::value` is true, constructs a function object `f` with a member `executor_` that is initialised with `prefer(ex1, execution::outstanding_work.tracked)`, a member `handler_` that is a decay-copy of `completion_handler`, and a function call operator that performs: 

  auto a = get_associated_allocator(handler_);
  prefer(executor_, execution::allocator(a)).execute(std::move(handler_));





* If `execution::is_executor<Ex1>::value` is false, constructs a function object `f` with a member `work_` that is initialised with `make_work_guard(ex1)`, a member `handler_` that is a decay-copy of `completion_handler`, and a function call operator that performs: 

  auto a = get_associated_allocator(handler_);
  work_.get_executor().dispatch(std::move(handler_), a);
  work_.reset(); 





* If `execution::is_executor<Ex>::value` is true, performs 

  prefer(
     require(ex, execution::blocking.never),
     execution::relationship.continuation,
     execution::allocator(alloc)
   ).execute(std::move(f)); 





* If `execution::is_executor<Ex>::value` is false, performs

The [link boost_asio.reference.deferred_t `deferred_t`] class is used to indicate that an asynchronous operation should return a function object which is itself an initiation function. A [link boost_asio.reference.deferred_t `deferred_t`] object may be passed as a completion token to an asynchronous operation, typically as the default completion token:



  auto my_deferred_op = my_socket.async_read_some(my_buffer); 




or by explicitly passing the special value `boost::asio::deferred`:



  auto my_deferred_op
   = my_socket.async_read_some(my_buffer,
       boost::asio::deferred); 




The initiating function (async\_read\_some in the above example) returns a function object that will lazily initiate the operation.

[section:overload1 dispatch (1 of 3 overloads)]


Submits a completion token or function object for execution. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.NullaryToken NullaryToken]``>
  auto dispatch(
      NullaryToken && token);


This function submits an object for execution using the object's associated executor. The function object may be called from the current thread prior to returning from `dispatch()`. Otherwise, it is queued for execution.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(); 
``
]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
This function returns `async_initiate<NullaryToken, void()>(Init{}, token)`, where `Init` is a function object type defined as:



  class Init
  {
  public:
    template <typename CompletionHandler>
      void operator()(CompletionHandler&& completion_handler) const;
  }; 




The function call operator of `Init:` 


* Obtains the handler's associated executor object `ex` of type `Ex` by performing 

  auto ex = get_associated_executor(handler); 





* Obtains the handler's associated allocator object `alloc` by performing 

  auto alloc = get_associated_allocator(handler); 





* If `execution::is_executor<Ex>::value` is true, performs 

  prefer(ex, execution::allocator(alloc)).execute(
     std::forward<CompletionHandler>(completion_handler)); 





* If `execution::is_executor<Ex>::value` is false, performs 

  ex.dispatch(
     std::forward<CompletionHandler>(completion_handler),
     alloc);

[heading Return Value]
      
This function returns `async_initiate<NullaryToken, void()>(Init{ex}, token)`, where `Init` is a function object type defined as:



  class Init
  {
  public:
    using executor_type = Executor;
    explicit Init(const Executor& ex) : ex_(ex) {}
    executor_type get_executor() const noexcept { return ex_; }
    template <typename CompletionHandler>
      void operator()(CompletionHandler&& completion_handler) const;
  private:
    Executor ex_; // exposition only
  }; 




The function call operator of `Init:` 


* Obtains the handler's associated executor object `ex1` of type `Ex1` by performing 

  auto ex1 = get_associated_executor(handler, ex); 





* Obtains the handler's associated allocator object `alloc` by performing 

  auto alloc = get_associated_allocator(handler); 





* If `execution::is_executor<Ex1>::value` is true, constructs a function object `f` with a member `executor_` that is initialised with `prefer(ex1, execution::outstanding_work.tracked)`, a member `handler_` that is a decay-copy of `completion_handler`, and a function call operator that performs: 

  auto a = get_associated_allocator(handler_);
  prefer(executor_, execution::allocator(a)).execute(std::move(handler_));





* If `execution::is_executor<Ex1>::value` is false, constructs a function object `f` with a member `work_` that is initialised with `make_work_guard(ex1)`, a member `handler_` that is a decay-copy of `completion_handler`, and a function call operator that performs:

]

The [link boost_asio.reference.const_buffer `const_buffer`] class provides a safe representation of a buffer that cannot be modified. It does not own the underlying data, and so is cheap to copy or assign.


[heading Accessing Buffer Contents]
  


The contents of a buffer may be accessed using the `data()` and `size()` member functions:



  boost::asio::const_buffer b1 = ...;
  std::size_t s1 = b1.size();
  const unsigned char* p1 = static_cast<const unsigned char*>(b1.data());




The `data()` member function permits violations of type safety, so uses of it in application code should be carefully considered.

]

The [link boost_asio.reference.mutable_buffer `mutable_buffer`] class provides a safe representation of a buffer that can be modified. It does not own the underlying data, and so is cheap to copy or assign.


[heading Accessing Buffer Contents]
  


The contents of a buffer may be accessed using the `data()` and `size()` member functions:



  boost::asio::mutable_buffer b1 = ...;
  std::size_t s1 = b1.size();
  unsigned char* p1 = static_cast<unsigned char*>(b1.data());




The `data()` member function permits violations of type safety, so uses of it in application code should be carefully considered.

[section:shrink dynamic_vector_buffer::shrink]

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.dynamic_vector_buffer.shrink..shrink..dynamic_vector_buffer] 
[*DynamicBuffer\_v2:] Shrink the underlying memory by the specified number of bytes. 


  void shrink(
      std::size_t n);


Erases `n` bytes from the end of the vector by resizing the vector object. If `n` is greater than the current size of the vector, the vector is emptied. 


[endsect]



[section:size dynamic_vector_buffer::size]

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.dynamic_vector_buffer.size..size..dynamic_vector_buffer] 
[*DynamicBuffer\_v1:] Get the size of the input sequence. [*DynamicBuffer\_v2:] Get the current size of the underlying memory. 


  std::size_t size() const;



[heading Return Value]
      
[*DynamicBuffer\_v1] The current size of the input sequence. [*DynamicBuffer\_v2:] The current size of the underlying vector if less than `max_size()`. Otherwise returns `max_size()`.

An execution context represents a place where function objects will be executed. An `io_context` is an example of an execution context.


[heading The execution_context class and services]
  


Class [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] implements an extensible, type-safe, polymorphic set of services, indexed by service type.

Services exist to manage the resources that are shared across an execution context. For example, timers may be implemented in terms of a single timer queue, and this queue would be stored in a service.

Access to the services of an [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] is via three function templates, `use_service()`, `add_service()` and `has_service()`.

In a call to `use_service<Service>()`, the type argument chooses a service, making available all members of the named type. If `Service` is not present in an [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`], an object of type `Service` is created and added to the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`]. A C++ program can check if an [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] implements a particular service with the function template `has_service<Service>()`.

Service objects may be explicitly added to an [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] using the function template `add_service<Service>()`. If the `Service` is already present, the [link boost_asio.reference.service_already_exists `service_already_exists`] exception is thrown. If the owner of the service is not the same object as the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] parameter, the [link boost_asio.reference.invalid_service_owner `invalid_service_owner`] exception is thrown.

Once a service reference is obtained from an [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] object by calling `use_service()`, that reference remains usable as long as the owning [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] object exists.

All service implementations have [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context__service `execution_context::service`] as a public base class. Custom services may be implemented by deriving from this class and then added to an [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] using the facilities described above.


[heading The execution_context as a base class]
  


Class [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] may be used only as a base class for concrete execution context types. The `io_context` is an example of such a derived type.

On destruction, a class that is derived from [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] must perform `execution_context::shutdown()` followed by `execution_context::destroy()`.

This destruction sequence permits programs to simplify their resource management by using `shared_ptr<>`. Where an object's lifetime is tied to the lifetime of a connection (or some other sequence of asynchronous operations), a `shared_ptr` to the object would be bound into the handlers for all asynchronous operations associated with it. This works as follows:


* When a single connection ends, all associated asynchronous operations complete. The corresponding handler objects are destroyed, and all `shared_ptr` references to the objects are destroyed.


* To shut down the whole program, the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] function stop() is called to terminate any run() calls as soon as possible. The [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] destructor calls `shutdown()` and `destroy()` to destroy all pending handlers, causing all `shared_ptr` references to all connection objects to be destroyed.

[section:notify_fork execution_context::notify_fork]

Notify the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] of a fork-related event. 


  void notify_fork(
      fork_event event);


This function is used to inform the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] that the process is about to fork, or has just forked. This allows the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`], and the services it contains, to perform any necessary housekeeping to ensure correct operation following a fork.

This function must not be called while any other [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] function, or any function associated with the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`]'s derived class, is being called in another thread. It is, however, safe to call this function from within a completion handler, provided no other thread is accessing the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] or its derived class.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[event][A fork-related event.]]

]


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure. If the notification fails the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] object should no longer be used and should be destroyed.]]

]


[heading Example]
  
The following code illustrates how to incorporate the `notify_fork()` function: 

  my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_prepare);
  if (fork() == 0)
  {
    // This is the child process.
    my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_child);
  }
  else
  {
    // This is the parent process.
    my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_parent);
  } 





[heading Remarks]
      
For each service object `svc` in the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] set, performs `svc->notify_fork();`. When processing the fork\_prepare event, services are visited in reverse order of the beginning of service object lifetime. Otherwise, services are visited in order of the beginning of service object lifetime.

The [link boost_asio.reference.experimental__basic_channel `experimental::basic_channel`] class template is used for sending messages between different parts of the same application. A ['message] is defined as a collection of arguments to be passed to a completion handler, and the set of messages supported by a channel is specified by its `Traits` and `Signatures...` template parameters. Messages may be sent and received using asynchronous or non-blocking synchronous operations.

Unless customising the traits, applications will typically use the `experimental::channel` alias template. For example: 

  void send_loop(int i, steady_timer& timer,
      channel<void(error_code, int)>& ch)
  {
    if (i < 10)
    {
      timer.expires_after(chrono::seconds(1));
      timer.async_wait(
          [i, &timer, &ch](error_code error)
          {
            if (!error)
            {
              ch.async_send(error_code(), i,
                  [i, &timer, &ch](error_code error)
                  {
                    if (!error)
                    {
                      send_loop(i + 1, timer, ch);
                    }
                  });
            }
          });
    }
    else
    {
      ch.close();
    }
  }

  void receive_loop(channel<void(error_code, int)>& ch)
  {
    ch.async_receive(
        [&ch](error_code error, int i)
        {
          if (!error)
          {
            std::cout << "Received " << i << "\n";
            receive_loop(ch);
          }
        });
  } 





[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

The [link boost_asio.reference.experimental__basic_channel `experimental::basic_channel`] class template is not thread-safe, and would typically be used for passing messages between application code that runs on the same thread or in the same strand. Consider using [link boost_asio.reference.experimental__basic_concurrent_channel `experimental::basic_concurrent_channel`], and its alias template `experimental::concurrent_channel`, to pass messages between code running in different threads.

The [link boost_asio.reference.experimental__basic_channel `experimental::basic_channel`] class template is used for sending messages between different parts of the same application. A ['message] is defined as a collection of arguments to be passed to a completion handler, and the set of messages supported by a channel is specified by its `Traits` and `Signatures...` template parameters. Messages may be sent and received using asynchronous or non-blocking synchronous operations.

Unless customising the traits, applications will typically use the `experimental::channel` alias template. For example: 

  void send_loop(int i, steady_timer& timer,
      channel<void(error_code, int)>& ch)
  {
    if (i < 10)
    {
      timer.expires_after(chrono::seconds(1));
      timer.async_wait(
          [i, &timer, &ch](error_code error)
          {
            if (!error)
            {
              ch.async_send(error_code(), i,
                  [i, &timer, &ch](error_code error)
                  {
                    if (!error)
                    {
                      send_loop(i + 1, timer, ch);
                    }
                  });
            }
          });
    }
    else
    {
      ch.close();
    }
  }

  void receive_loop(channel<void(error_code, int)>& ch)
  {
    ch.async_receive(
        [&ch](error_code error, int i)
        {
          if (!error)
          {
            std::cout << "Received " << i << "\n";

The [link boost_asio.reference.experimental__basic_channel `experimental::basic_channel`] class template is not thread-safe, and would typically be used for passing messages between application code that runs on the same thread or in the same strand.

The [link boost_asio.reference.experimental__basic_concurrent_channel `experimental::basic_concurrent_channel`] class template is used for sending messages between different parts of the same application. A ['message] is defined as a collection of arguments to be passed to a completion handler, and the set of messages supported by a channel is specified by its `Traits` and `Signatures...` template parameters. Messages may be sent and received using asynchronous or non-blocking synchronous operations.

Unless customising the traits, applications will typically use the `experimental::concurrent_channel` alias template. For example: 

  void send_loop(int i, steady_timer& timer,
      concurrent_channel<void(error_code, int)>& ch)
  {
    if (i < 10)
    {
      timer.expires_after(chrono::seconds(1));
      timer.async_wait(
          [i, &timer, &ch](error_code error)
          {
            if (!error)
            {
              ch.async_send(error_code(), i,
                  [i, &timer, &ch](error_code error)
                  {
                    if (!error)
                    {
                      send_loop(i + 1, timer, ch);
                    }
                  });
            }
          });
    }
    else
    {
      ch.close();
    }
  }

  void receive_loop(concurent_channel<void(error_code, int)>& ch)
  {
    ch.async_receive(
        [&ch](error_code error, int i)
        {
          if (!error)
          {
            std::cout << "Received " << i << "\n";

The [link boost_asio.reference.experimental__basic_concurrent_channel `experimental::basic_concurrent_channel`] class template is thread-safe, and would typically be used for passing messages between application code that run on different threads.

The [link boost_asio.reference.experimental__basic_concurrent_channel `experimental::basic_concurrent_channel`] class template is used for sending messages between different parts of the same application. A ['message] is defined as a collection of arguments to be passed to a completion handler, and the set of messages supported by a channel is specified by its `Traits` and `Signatures...` template parameters. Messages may be sent and received using asynchronous or non-blocking synchronous operations.

Unless customising the traits, applications will typically use the `experimental::concurrent_channel` alias template. For example: 

  void send_loop(int i, steady_timer& timer,
      concurrent_channel<void(error_code, int)>& ch)
  {
    if (i < 10)
    {
      timer.expires_after(chrono::seconds(1));
      timer.async_wait(
          [i, &timer, &ch](error_code error)
          {
            if (!error)
            {
              ch.async_send(error_code(), i,
                  [i, &timer, &ch](error_code error)
                  {
                    if (!error)
                    {
                      send_loop(i + 1, timer, ch);
                    }
                  });
            }
          });
    }
    else
    {
      ch.close();
    }
  }

  void receive_loop(concurent_channel<void(error_code, int)>& ch)
  {
    ch.async_receive(
        [&ch](error_code error, int i)
        {
          if (!error)
          {
            std::cout << "Received " << i << "\n";
            receive_loop(ch);
          }
        });
  } 





[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Safe.

The [link boost_asio.reference.experimental__basic_concurrent_channel `experimental::basic_concurrent_channel`] class template is thread-safe, and would typically be used for passing messages between application code that run on different threads. Consider using [link boost_asio.reference.experimental__basic_channel `experimental::basic_channel`], and its alias template `experimental::channel`, to pass messages between code running in a single thread or on the same strand.

The `use_coro_t` class, with its value `use_coro`, is used to represent an operation that can be awaited by the current resumable coroutine. This completion token may be passed as a handler to an asynchronous operation. For example:



  coro<void> my_coroutine(tcp::socket my_socket)
  {
    std::size_t n = co_await my_socket.async_read_some(buffer, use_coro);
    ...
  } 




When used with co\_await, the initiating function (`async_read_some` in the above example) suspends the current coroutine. The coroutine is resumed when the asynchronous operation completes, and the result of the operation is returned.

Note that this token is not the most efficient (use the default completion token `boost::asio::deferred` for that) but does provide type erasure, as it will always return a `coro`.

The `use_coro_t` class, with its value `use_coro`, is used to represent an operation that can be awaited by the current resumable coroutine. This completion token may be passed as a handler to an asynchronous operation. For example:



  coro<void> my_coroutine(tcp::socket my_socket)
  {
    std::size_t n = co_await my_socket.async_read_some(buffer, use_coro);
    ...
  } 




When used with co\_await, the initiating function (`async_read_some` in the above example) suspends the current coroutine. The coroutine is resumed when the asynchronous operation completes, and the result of the operation is returned.

Note that this token is not the most efficient (use the default completion token `boost::asio::deferred` for that) but does provide type erasure, as it will always return a `coro`.

[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `send`, `send_to`, `receive`, `receive_from`, `connect`, and `shutdown` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.

['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `send`, `send_to`, `receive`, `receive_from`, `connect`, and `shutdown` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.

['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `send`, `receive`, `connect`, and `shutdown` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.

[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `send`, `receive`, `connect`, and `shutdown` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.

]

The [link boost_asio.reference.basic_waitable_timer `basic_waitable_timer`] class template provides the ability to perform a blocking or asynchronous wait for a timer to expire.

A waitable timer is always in one of two states: "expired" or "not expired". If the `wait()` or `async_wait()` function is called on an expired timer, the wait operation will complete immediately.

Most applications will use one of the [link boost_asio.reference.steady_timer `steady_timer`], [link boost_asio.reference.system_timer `system_timer`] or [link boost_asio.reference.high_resolution_timer `high_resolution_timer`] typedefs.


[heading Remarks]
      
This waitable timer functionality is for use with the C++11 standard library's `<chrono>` facility, or with the Boost.Chrono library.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.


[heading Examples]
  
Performing a blocking wait (C++11): 

  // Construct a timer without setting an expiry time.
  boost::asio::steady_timer timer(my_context);

  // Set an expiry time relative to now.
  timer.expires_after(std::chrono::seconds(5));

  // Wait for the timer to expire.
  timer.wait();





Performing an asynchronous wait (C++11): 

  void handler(const boost::system::error_code& error)
  {
    if (!error)
    {
      // Timer expired.
    }
  }

  ...

  // Construct a timer with an absolute expiry time.
  boost::asio::steady_timer timer(my_context,
      std::chrono::steady_clock::now() + std::chrono::seconds(60));

  // Start an asynchronous wait.
  timer.async_wait(handler);





[heading Changing an active waitable timer's expiry time]
  


Changing the expiry time of a timer while there are pending asynchronous waits causes those wait operations to be cancelled. To ensure that the action associated with the timer is performed only once, use something like this: used:



  void on_some_event()
  {
    if (my_timer.expires_after(seconds(5)) > 0)
    {
      // We managed to cancel the timer. Start new asynchronous wait.
      my_timer.async_wait(on_timeout);
    }
    else
    {
      // Too late, timer has already expired!
    }
  }

  void on_timeout(const boost::system::error_code& e)
  {
    if (e != boost::asio::error::operation_aborted)
    {
      // Timer was not cancelled, take necessary action.
    }

* The `boost::asio::basic_waitable_timer::expires_after()` function cancels any pending asynchronous waits, and returns the number of asynchronous waits that were cancelled. If it returns 0 then you were too late and the wait handler has already been executed, or will soon be executed. If it returns 1 then the wait handler was successfully cancelled.


* If a wait handler is cancelled, the boost::system::error\_code passed to it contains the value `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted`. 




This typedef uses the C++11 `<chrono>` standard library facility, if available. Otherwise, it may use the Boost.Chrono library. To explicitly utilise Boost.Chrono, use the [link boost_asio.reference.basic_waitable_timer `basic_waitable_timer`] template directly: 

  typedef basic_waitable_timer<boost::chrono::high_resolution_clock> timer;

The `notify_fork()` function should not be called while any [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] function, or any function on an I/O object that is associated with the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`], is being called in another thread.



[heading Synchronous and asynchronous operations]
  


Synchronous operations on I/O objects implicitly run the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] object for an individual operation. The [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] functions `run()`, `run_one()`, `run_for()`, `run_until()`, `poll()` or `poll_one()` must be called for the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] to perform asynchronous operations on behalf of a C++ program. Notification that an asynchronous operation has completed is delivered by invocation of the associated handler. Handlers are invoked only by a thread that is currently calling any overload of `run()`, `run_one()`, `run_for()`, `run_until()`, `poll()` or `poll_one()` for the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`].


[heading Effect of exceptions thrown from handlers]
  


If an exception is thrown from a handler, the exception is allowed to propagate through the throwing thread's invocation of `run()`, `run_one()`, `run_for()`, `run_until()`, `poll()` or `poll_one()`. No other threads that are calling any of these functions are affected. It is then the responsibility of the application to catch the exception.

After the exception has been caught, the `run()`, `run_one()`, `run_for()`, `run_until()`, `poll()` or `poll_one()` call may be restarted ['without] the need for an intervening call to `restart()`. This allows the thread to rejoin the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] object's thread pool without impacting any other threads in the pool.

For example:



  boost::asio::io_context io_context;
  ...
  for (;;)
  {
    try
    {
      io_context.run();
      break; // run() exited normally
    }
    catch (my_exception& e)
    {
      // Deal with exception as appropriate.
    }
  }





[heading Submitting arbitrary tasks to the io_context]
  


To submit functions to the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`], use the [link boost_asio.reference.dispatch `dispatch`], [link boost_asio.reference.post `post`] or [link boost_asio.reference.defer `defer`] free functions.

For example:



  void my_task()
  {
    ...
  }

  ...

  boost::asio::io_context io_context;

  // Submit a function to the io_context.
  boost::asio::post(io_context, my_task);

  // Submit a lambda object to the io_context.
  boost::asio::post(io_context,
      []()
      {
        ...
      });

  // Run the io_context until it runs out of work.
  io_context.run(); 





[heading Stopping the io_context from running out of work]
  


Some applications may need to prevent an [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] object's `run()` call from returning when there is no more work to do. For example, the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] may be being run in a background thread that is launched prior to the application's asynchronous operations. The `run()` call may be kept running by using the [link boost_asio.reference.make_work_guard `make_work_guard`] function to create an object of type boost::asio::executor\_work\_guard<io\_context::executor\_type>:



  boost::asio::io_context io_context;
  boost::asio::executor_work_guard<boost::asio::io_context::executor_type>
    = boost::asio::make_work_guard(io_context);
  ... 




To effect a shutdown, the application will then need to call the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] object's `stop()` member function. This will cause the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] `run()` call to return as soon as possible, abandoning unfinished operations and without permitting ready handlers to be dispatched.

Alternatively, if the application requires that all operations and handlers be allowed to finish normally, the work object may be explicitly reset.



  boost::asio::io_context io_context;
  boost::asio::executor_work_guard<boost::asio::io_context::executor_type>
    = boost::asio::make_work_guard(io_context);
  ...
  work.reset(); // Allow run() to exit.

[section:notify_fork io_context::notify_fork]


['Inherited from execution_context.]

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.io_context.notify_fork..notify_fork..io_context] 
Notify the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] of a fork-related event. 


  void notify_fork(
      fork_event event);


This function is used to inform the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] that the process is about to fork, or has just forked. This allows the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`], and the services it contains, to perform any necessary housekeeping to ensure correct operation following a fork.

This function must not be called while any other [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] function, or any function associated with the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`]'s derived class, is being called in another thread. It is, however, safe to call this function from within a completion handler, provided no other thread is accessing the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] or its derived class.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[event][A fork-related event.]]

]


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure. If the notification fails the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] object should no longer be used and should be destroyed.]]

]


[heading Example]
  
The following code illustrates how to incorporate the `notify_fork()` function: 

  my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_prepare);
  if (fork() == 0)
  {
    // This is the child process.
    my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_child);
  }
  else
  {
    // This is the parent process.
    my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_parent);
  } 





[heading Remarks]
      
For each service object `svc` in the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] set, performs `svc->notify_fork();`. When processing the fork\_prepare event, services are visited in reverse order of the beginning of service object lifetime. Otherwise, services are visited in order of the beginning of service object lifetime.

Run the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] object's event processing loop to execute ready handlers. 


  count_type poll();


The `poll()` function runs handlers that are ready to run, without blocking, until the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] has been stopped or there are no more ready handlers.

[section:restart io_context::restart]

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.io_context.restart..restart..io_context] 
Restart the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] in preparation for a subsequent `run()` invocation. 


  void restart();


This function must be called prior to any second or later set of invocations of the `run()`, `run_one()`, `poll()` or `poll_one()` functions when a previous invocation of these functions returned due to the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] being stopped or running out of work. After a call to `restart()`, the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] object's `stopped()` function will return `false`.

This function must not be called while there are any unfinished calls to the `run()`, `run_one()`, `poll()` or `poll_one()` functions. 


[endsect]



[section:run io_context::run]

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.io_context.run..run..io_context] 
Run the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] object's event processing loop. 


  count_type run();


The `run()` function blocks until all work has finished and there are no more handlers to be dispatched, or until the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] has been stopped.

Multiple threads may call the `run()` function to set up a pool of threads from which the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] may execute handlers. All threads that are waiting in the pool are equivalent and the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] may choose any one of them to invoke a handler.

A normal exit from the `run()` function implies that the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] object is stopped (the `stopped()` function returns `true`). Subsequent calls to `run()`, `run_one()`, `poll()` or `poll_one()` will return immediately unless there is a prior call to `restart()`.


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of handlers that were executed.


[heading Remarks]
      
Calling the `run()` function from a thread that is currently calling one of `run()`, `run_one()`, `run_for()`, `run_until()`, `poll()` or `poll_one()` on the same [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] object may introduce the potential for deadlock. It is the caller's responsibility to avoid this.

The `poll()` function may also be used to dispatch ready handlers, but without blocking.

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.io_context.run_one..run_one..io_context] 
Run the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] object's event processing loop to execute at most one handler. 


  count_type run_one();


The `run_one()` function blocks until one handler has been dispatched, or until the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] has been stopped.


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of handlers that were executed. A zero return value implies that the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] object is stopped (the `stopped()` function returns `true`). Subsequent calls to `run()`, `run_one()`, `poll()` or `poll_one()` will return immediately unless there is a prior call to `restart()`.


[heading Remarks]
      
Calling the `run_one()` function from a thread that is currently calling one of `run()`, `run_one()`, `run_for()`, `run_until()`, `poll()` or `poll_one()` on the same [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] object may introduce the potential for deadlock.

  void stop();


This function does not block, but instead simply signals the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] to stop. All invocations of its `run()` or `run_one()` member functions should return as soon as possible. Subsequent calls to `run()`, `run_one()`, `poll()` or `poll_one()` will return immediately until `restart()` is called.

[section:stopped io_context::stopped]

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.io_context.stopped..stopped..io_context] 
Determine whether the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] object has been stopped. 


  bool stopped() const;


This function is used to determine whether an [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] object has been stopped, either through an explicit call to `stop()`, or due to running out of work. When an [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] object is stopped, calls to `run()`, `run_one()`, `poll()` or `poll_one()` will return immediately without invoking any handlers.


[heading Return Value]
      
`true` if the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] object is stopped, otherwise `false`.

[section:wrap io_context::wrap]

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.io_context.wrap..wrap..io_context] 
(Deprecated: Use [link boost_asio.reference.bind_executor `bind_executor`].) Create a new handler that automatically dispatches the wrapped handler on the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`]. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.Handler Handler]``>
  unspecified wrap(
      Handler handler);


This function is used to create a new handler function object that, when invoked, will automatically pass the wrapped handler to the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] object's dispatch function.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[handler][The handler to be wrapped. The [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] will make a copy of the handler object as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
  void handler(A1 a1, ... An an); 
``
]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
A function object that, when invoked, passes the wrapped handler to the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] object's dispatch function. Given a function object with the signature: 

  R f(A1 a1, ... An an); 


If this function object is passed to the wrap function like so: 

  io_context.wrap(f); 


then the return value is a function object with the signature 

  void g(A1 a1, ... An an); 


that, when invoked, executes code equivalent to: 

  boost::asio::dispatch(io_context,
     boost::bind(f, a1, ... an));

[section:_io_context io_context::~io_context]

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.io_context._io_context..~io_context..io_context] 
Destructor. 


  ~io_context();


On destruction, the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] performs the following sequence of operations:


* For each service object `svc` in the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] set, in reverse order of the beginning of service object lifetime, performs `svc->shutdown()`.


* Uninvoked handler objects that were scheduled for deferred invocation on the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`], or any associated strand, are destroyed.


* For each service object `svc` in the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] set, in reverse order of the beginning of service object lifetime, performs `delete static_cast<io_context::service*>(svc)`.


[heading Remarks]
      
The destruction sequence described above permits programs to simplify their resource management by using `shared_ptr<>`. Where an object's lifetime is tied to the lifetime of a connection (or some other sequence of asynchronous operations), a `shared_ptr` to the object would be bound into the handlers for all asynchronous operations associated with it. This works as follows:


* When a single connection ends, all associated asynchronous operations complete. The corresponding handler objects are destroyed, and all `shared_ptr` references to the objects are destroyed.


* To shut down the whole program, the [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] function `stop()` is called to terminate any `run()` calls as soon as possible. The [link boost_asio.reference.io_context `io_context`] destructor defined above destroys all handlers, causing all `shared_ptr` references to all connection objects to be destroyed.

The [link boost_asio.reference.io_context__strand `io_context::strand`] class provides the ability to post and dispatch handlers with the guarantee that none of those handlers will execute concurrently.


[heading Order of handler invocation]
  
Given:


* a strand object `s` 


* an object `a` meeting completion handler requirements


* an object `a1` which is an arbitrary copy of `a` made by the implementation


* an object `b` meeting completion handler requirements


* an object `b1` which is an arbitrary copy of `b` made by the implementation

if any of the following conditions are true:


* `s.post(a)` happens-before `s.post(b)` 


* `s.post(a)` happens-before `s.dispatch(b)`, where the latter is performed outside the strand


* `s.dispatch(a)` happens-before `s.post(b)`, where the former is performed outside the strand


* `s.dispatch(a)` happens-before `s.dispatch(b)`, where both are performed outside the strand

then `a()` happens-before `b()` 

Note that in the following case: 

  async_op_1(..., s.wrap(a));
  async_op_2(..., s.wrap(b)); 


the completion of the first async operation will perform `s.dispatch(a)`, and the second will perform `s.dispatch(b)`, but the order in which those are performed is unspecified. That is, you cannot state whether one happens-before the other. Therefore none of the above conditions are met and no ordering guarantee is made.


[heading Remarks]
      
The implementation makes no guarantee that handlers posted or dispatched through different `strand` objects will be invoked concurrently.

This function is used to resolve host and service names into a list of endpoint entries.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[host][A string identifying a location. May be a descriptive name or a numeric address string. If an empty string and the passive flag has been specified, the resolved endpoints are suitable for local service binding. If an empty string and passive is not specified, the resolved endpoints will use the loopback address.]]

[[service][A string identifying the requested service. This may be a descriptive name or a numeric string corresponding to a port number. May be an empty string, in which case all resolved endpoints will have a port number of 0.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the resolve completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    const boost::system::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
    resolver::results_type results // Resolved endpoints as a range.
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

]

A successful resolve operation is guaranteed to pass a non-empty range to the handler.

      boost::system::error_code & ec);


This function is used to resolve host and service names into a list of endpoint entries.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[protocol][A protocol object, normally representing either the IPv4 or IPv6 version of an internet protocol.]]

[[host][A string identifying a location. May be a descriptive name or a numeric address string. If an empty string and the passive flag has been specified, the resolved endpoints are suitable for local service binding. If an empty string and passive is not specified, the resolved endpoints will use the loopback address.]]

[[service][A string identifying the requested service. This may be a descriptive name or a numeric string corresponding to a port number. May be an empty string, in which case all resolved endpoints will have a port number of 0.]]

[[resolve_flags][A set of flags that determine how name resolution should be performed. The default flags are suitable for communication with remote hosts. See the [link boost_asio.reference.ip__resolver_base `ip::resolver_base`] documentation for the set of available flags.]]

[[ec][Set to indicate what error occurred, if any.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
A range object representing the list of endpoint entries. An empty range is returned if an error occurs. A successful call to this function is guaranteed to return a non-empty range.


[heading Remarks]
      
On POSIX systems, host names may be locally defined in the file `/etc/hosts`. On Windows, host names may be defined in the file `c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts`. Remote host name resolution is performed using DNS. Operating systems may use additional locations when resolving host names (such as NETBIOS names on Windows).

On POSIX systems, service names are typically defined in the file `/etc/services`. On Windows, service names may be found in the file `c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\services`. Operating systems may use additional locations when resolving service names.

['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `send`, `send_to`, `receive`, `receive_from`, `connect`, and `shutdown` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.

[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `accept` operations are thread safe, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to synchronous `accept` operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.


[heading Example]
  
Opening a socket acceptor with the SO\_REUSEADDR option enabled: 

  boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(my_context);
  boost::asio::ip::tcp::endpoint endpoint(boost::asio::ip::tcp::v4(), port);
  acceptor.open(endpoint.protocol());
  acceptor.set_option(boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor::reuse_address(true));
  acceptor.bind(endpoint);
  acceptor.listen();

['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `send`, `receive`, `connect`, and `shutdown` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.

[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `send`, `send_to`, `receive`, `receive_from`, `connect`, and `shutdown` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.

[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `send`, `send_to`, `receive`, `receive_from`, `connect`, and `shutdown` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.

Synchronous `accept` operations are thread safe, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to synchronous `accept` operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.


[heading Example]
  
Opening a socket acceptor with the SO\_REUSEADDR option enabled: 

  boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(my_context);
  boost::asio::ip::tcp::endpoint endpoint(boost::asio::ip::tcp::v4(), port);
  acceptor.open(endpoint.protocol());
  acceptor.set_option(boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor::reuse_address(true));

['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `send`, `receive`, `connect`, and `shutdown` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.

[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `accept` operations are thread safe, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to synchronous `accept` operations on a single socket object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.


[heading Example]
  
Opening a socket acceptor with the SO\_REUSEADDR option enabled: 

  boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(my_context);
  boost::asio::ip::tcp::endpoint endpoint(boost::asio::ip::tcp::v4(), port);
  acceptor.open(endpoint.protocol());
  acceptor.set_option(boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor::reuse_address(true));
  acceptor.bind(endpoint);
  acceptor.listen();

  ]
  
]

The [link boost_asio.reference.mutable_buffer `mutable_buffer`] class provides a safe representation of a buffer that can be modified. It does not own the underlying data, and so is cheap to copy or assign.


[heading Accessing Buffer Contents]
  


The contents of a buffer may be accessed using the `data()` and `size()` member functions:



  boost::asio::mutable_buffer b1 = ...;
  std::size_t s1 = b1.size();
  unsigned char* p1 = static_cast<unsigned char*>(b1.data());




The `data()` member function permits violations of type safety, so uses of it in application code should be carefully considered.

    [Create a new modifiable buffer that is offset from the start of another. ]

]

The [link boost_asio.reference.mutable_buffer `mutable_buffer`] class provides a safe representation of a buffer that can be modified. It does not own the underlying data, and so is cheap to copy or assign.


[heading Accessing Buffer Contents]
  


The contents of a buffer may be accessed using the `data()` and `size()` member functions:



  boost::asio::mutable_buffer b1 = ...;
  std::size_t s1 = b1.size();
  unsigned char* p1 = static_cast<unsigned char*>(b1.data());




The `data()` member function permits violations of type safety, so uses of it in application code should be carefully considered.

This function is used to perform an asynchronous wait for a descriptor to enter a ready to read, write or error condition state. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[w][Specifies the desired descriptor state.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the wait completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    const boost::system::error_code& error // Result of operation.
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `read_some` and `write_some` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single descriptor object. Other synchronous operations, such as `close`, are not thread safe.

This function is used to asynchronously read data from the stream descriptor. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the read completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature.

    std::size_t bytes_transferred // Number of bytes read.
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function.

]


[heading Completion Signature]
  


  void(boost::system::error_code, std::size_t) 





[heading Remarks]
      
The read operation may not read all of the requested number of bytes. Consider using the [link boost_asio.reference.async_read `async_read`] function if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is read before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows:

['Inherited from posix::basic_descriptor.]


Gets the non-blocking mode of the native descriptor implementation. 


  bool native_non_blocking() const;


This function is used to retrieve the non-blocking mode of the underlying native descriptor. This mode has no effect on the behaviour of the descriptor object's synchronous operations.


[heading Return Value]
      
`true` if the underlying descriptor is in non-blocking mode and direct system calls may fail with `boost::asio::error::would_block` (or the equivalent system error).


[heading Remarks]
      
The current non-blocking mode is cached by the descriptor object. Consequently, the return value may be incorrect if the non-blocking mode was set directly on the native descriptor.

[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `read_some` and `write_some` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single descriptor object. Other synchronous operations, such as `close`, are not thread safe.

This function submits an object for execution using the object's associated executor. The function object is queued for execution, and is never called from the current thread prior to returning from `post()`.

The use of `post()`, rather than [link boost_asio.reference.defer `defer`], indicates the caller's preference that the function object be eagerly queued for execution.

The function call operator of `Init:` 


* Obtains the handler's associated executor object `ex1` of type `Ex1` by performing 

  auto ex1 = get_associated_executor(handler, ex); 





* Obtains the handler's associated allocator object `alloc` by performing 

  auto alloc = get_associated_allocator(handler); 





* If `execution::is_executor<Ex1>::value` is true, constructs a function object `f` with a member `executor_` that is initialised with `prefer(ex1, execution::outstanding_work.tracked)`, a member `handler_` that is a decay-copy of `completion_handler`, and a function call operator that performs: 

  auto a = get_associated_allocator(handler_);
  prefer(executor_, execution::allocator(a)).execute(std::move(handler_));





* If `execution::is_executor<Ex1>::value` is false, constructs a function object `f` with a member `work_` that is initialised with `make_work_guard(ex1)`, a member `handler_` that is a decay-copy of `completion_handler`, and a function call operator that performs:

The name `prefer` denotes a customisation point object. The expression `boost::asio::prefer(E, P0, Pn...)` for some subexpressions `E` and `P0`, and where `Pn...` represents `N` subexpressions (where `N` is 0 or more, and with types `T = decay_t<decltype(E)>` and `Prop0 = decay_t<decltype(P0)>`) is expression-equivalent to:


* If `is_applicable_property_v<T, Prop0> && Prop0::is_preferable` is not a well-formed constant expression with value `true`, `boost::asio::prefer(E, P0, Pn...)` is ill-formed.


* Otherwise, `E` if `N == 0` and the expression `Prop0::template static_query_v<T> == Prop0::value()` is a well-formed constant expression with value `true`.


* Otherwise, `(E).require(P0)` if `N == 0` and the expression `(E).require(P0)` is a valid expression.


* Otherwise, `require(E, P0)` if `N == 0` and the expression `require(E, P0)` is a valid expression with overload resolution performed in a context that does not include the declaration of the `require` customization point object.


* Otherwise, `(E).prefer(P0)` if `N == 0` and the expression `(E).prefer(P0)` is a valid expression.


* Otherwise, `prefer(E, P0)` if `N == 0` and the expression `prefer(E, P0)` is a valid expression with overload resolution performed in a context that does not include the declaration of the `prefer` customization point object.


* Otherwise, `E` if `N == 0`.


* Otherwise, `boost::asio::prefer(boost::asio::prefer(E, P0), Pn...)` if `N > 0` and the expression `boost::asio::prefer(boost::asio::prefer(E, P0), Pn...)` is a valid expression.

[section:query query]

[indexterm1 boost_asio.indexterm.query..query]

A customisation point that queries the value of a property. 


  constexpr unspecified query = unspecified;


The name `query` denotes a customization point object. The expression `boost::asio::query(E, P)` for some subexpressions `E` and `P` (with types `T = decay_t<decltype(E)>` and `Prop = decay_t<decltype(P)>`) is expression-equivalent to:


* If `is_applicable_property_v<T, Prop>` is not a well-formed constant expression with value `true`, `boost::asio::query(E,
  P)` is ill-formed.


* Otherwise, `Prop::template static_query_v<T>` if the expression `Prop::template static_query_v<T>` is a well-formed constant expression.


* Otherwise, `(E).query(P)` if the expression `(E).query(P)` is well-formed.


* Otherwise, `query(E, P)` if the expression `query(E, P)` is a valid expression with overload resolution performed in a context that does not include the declaration of the `query` customization point object.


* Otherwise, `boost::asio::query(E, P)` is ill-formed.

[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.

Synchronous `read_some_at` and `write_some_at` operations are thread safe with respect to each other, if the underlying operating system calls are also thread safe. This means that it is permitted to perform concurrent calls to these synchronous operations on a single file object. Other synchronous operations, such as `open` or `close`, are not thread safe.

[section:overload1 read (1 of 16 overloads)]


Attempt to read a certain amount of data from a stream before returning. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.SyncReadStream SyncReadStream]``,
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.MutableBufferSequence MutableBufferSequence]``>

      SyncReadStream & s,
      const MutableBufferSequence & buffers,
      constraint_t< is_mutable_buffer_sequence< MutableBufferSequence >::value >  = 0);


This function is used to read a certain number of bytes of data from a stream. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:


* The supplied buffers are full. That is, the bytes transferred is equal to the sum of the buffer sizes.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's read\_some function.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the SyncReadStream concept.]]

[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read. The sum of the buffer sizes indicates the maximum number of bytes to read from the stream.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes transferred.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  boost::asio::read(s, boost::asio::buffer(data, size)); 


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.


[heading Remarks]
      
This overload is equivalent to calling: 

  boost::asio::read(
     s, buffers,
     boost::asio::transfer_all());

[section:overload1 read_at (1 of 8 overloads)]


Attempt to read a certain amount of data at the specified offset before returning. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.SyncRandomAccessReadDevice SyncRandomAccessReadDevice]``,
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.MutableBufferSequence MutableBufferSequence]``>
  std::size_t read_at(
      SyncRandomAccessReadDevice & d,
      uint64_t offset,
      const MutableBufferSequence & buffers);


This function is used to read a certain number of bytes of data from a random access device at the specified offset. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:


* The supplied buffers are full. That is, the bytes transferred is equal to the sum of the buffer sizes.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the device's read\_some\_at function.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[d][The device from which the data is to be read. The type must support the SyncRandomAccessReadDevice concept.]]

[[offset][The offset at which the data will be read.]]

[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read. The sum of the buffer sizes indicates the maximum number of bytes to read from the device.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes transferred.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  boost::asio::read_at(d, 42, boost::asio::buffer(data, size)); 


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.


[heading Remarks]
      
This overload is equivalent to calling: 

  boost::asio::read_at(
     d, 42, buffers,
     boost::asio::transfer_all());

[section:overload1 read_until (1 of 24 overloads)]


Read data into a dynamic buffer sequence until it contains a specified delimiter. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.SyncReadStream SyncReadStream]``,
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.DynamicBuffer_v1 DynamicBuffer_v1]``>
  std::size_t read_until(
      SyncReadStream & s,
      DynamicBuffer_v1 && buffers,
      char delim,
      constraint_t< is_dynamic_buffer_v1< decay_t< DynamicBuffer_v1 > >::value >  = 0,
      constraint_t< !is_dynamic_buffer_v2< decay_t< DynamicBuffer_v1 > >::value >  = 0);


This function is used to read data into the specified dynamic buffer sequence until the dynamic buffer sequence's get area contains the specified delimiter. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:


* The get area of the dynamic buffer sequence contains the specified delimiter.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's read\_some function. If the dynamic buffer sequence's get area already contains the delimiter, the function returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the SyncReadStream concept.]]

[[buffers][The dynamic buffer sequence into which the data will be read.]]

[[delim][The delimiter character.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes in the dynamic buffer sequence's get area up to and including the delimiter.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
After a successful read\_until operation, the dynamic buffer sequence may contain additional data beyond the delimiter. An application will typically leave that data in the dynamic buffer sequence for a subsequent read\_until operation to examine.


[heading Example]
  
To read data into a `std::string` until a newline is encountered: 

  std::string data;
  std::size_t n = boost::asio::read_until(s,
      boost::asio::dynamic_buffer(data), '\n');
  std::string line = data.substr(0, n);
  data.erase(0, n); 


After the `read_until` operation completes successfully, the string `data` contains the delimiter: 

  { 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\n', 'd', 'e', ... } 


The call to `substr` then extracts the data up to and including the delimiter, so that the string `line` contains: 

  { 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\n' } 


After the call to `erase`, the remaining data is left in the buffer `b` as follows: 

  { 'd', 'e', ... } 


This data may be the start of a new line, to be extracted by a subsequent `read_until` operation.

[heading Remarks]
      
The default implementation of the `is_match_condition` type trait evaluates to true for function pointers and function objects with a `result_type` typedef. It must be specialised for other user-defined function objects.


[heading Examples]
  
To read data into a dynamic buffer sequence until whitespace is encountered: 

  typedef boost::asio::buffers_iterator<
      boost::asio::const_buffer> iterator;

  std::pair<iterator, bool>
  match_whitespace(iterator begin, iterator end)

  }
  ...
  std::string data;
  boost::asio::read_until(s, data, match_whitespace);




To read data into a `std::string` until a matching character is found:

      constraint_t< !is_dynamic_buffer_v2< decay_t< DynamicBuffer_v1 > >::value >  = 0);


This function is used to read data into the specified dynamic buffer sequence until a user-defined match condition function object, when applied to the data contained in the dynamic buffer sequence, indicates a successful match. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:


* The match condition function object returns a std::pair where the second element evaluates to true.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's read\_some function. If the match condition function object already indicates a match, the function returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the SyncReadStream concept.]]

[[buffers][A dynamic buffer sequence into which the data will be read.]]

[[match_condition][The function object to be called to determine whether a match exists. The signature of the function object must be: 
``
  pair<iterator, bool> match_condition(iterator begin, iterator end);
``
where `iterator` represents the type: 
``
  buffers_iterator<DynamicBuffer_v1::const_buffers_type>
``
The iterator parameters `begin` and `end` define the range of bytes to be scanned to determine whether there is a match. The `first` member of the return value is an iterator marking one-past-the-end of the bytes that have been consumed by the match function. This iterator is used to calculate the `begin` parameter for any subsequent invocation of the match condition. The `second` member of the return value is true if a match has been found, false otherwise.]]

[[ec][Set to indicate what error occurred, if any.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes in the dynamic buffer sequence's get area that have been fully consumed by the match function. Returns 0 if an error occurred.


[heading Remarks]
      
After a successful read\_until operation, the dynamic buffer sequence may contain additional data beyond that which matched the function object. An application will typically leave that data in the dynamic buffer sequence for a subsequent read\_until operation to examine.

[section:overload19 read_until (19 of 24 overloads)]


Read data into a dynamic buffer sequence until it contains a specified delimiter. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.SyncReadStream SyncReadStream]``,
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.DynamicBuffer_v2 DynamicBuffer_v2]``>
  std::size_t read_until(

      DynamicBuffer_v2 buffers,
      string_view delim,
      constraint_t< is_dynamic_buffer_v2< DynamicBuffer_v2 >::value >  = 0);


This function is used to read data into the specified dynamic buffer sequence until the dynamic buffer sequence's get area contains the specified delimiter. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:


* The get area of the dynamic buffer sequence contains the specified delimiter.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's read\_some function. If the dynamic buffer sequence's get area already contains the delimiter, the function returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the SyncReadStream concept.]]

[[buffers][The dynamic buffer sequence into which the data will be read.]]

[[delim][The delimiter string.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes in the dynamic buffer sequence's get area up to and including the delimiter.


[heading Remarks]
      
After a successful read\_until operation, the dynamic buffer sequence may contain additional data beyond the delimiter. An application will typically leave that data in the dynamic buffer sequence for a subsequent read\_until operation to examine.


[heading Example]
  
To read data into a `std::string` until a CR-LF sequence is encountered: 

  std::string data;
  std::size_t n = boost::asio::read_until(s,
      boost::asio::dynamic_buffer(data), "\r\n");
  std::string line = data.substr(0, n);
  data.erase(0, n); 


After the `read_until` operation completes successfully, the string `data` contains the delimiter: 

  { 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\r', '\n', 'd', 'e', ... } 


The call to `substr` then extracts the data up to and including the delimiter, so that the string `line` contains: 

  { 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\r', '\n' } 


After the call to `erase`, the remaining data is left in the buffer `b` as follows: 

  { 'd', 'e', ... } 


This data may be the start of a new line, to be extracted by a subsequent `read_until` operation.

      constraint_t< is_match_condition< MatchCondition >::value >  = 0,
      constraint_t< is_dynamic_buffer_v2< DynamicBuffer_v2 >::value >  = 0);


This function is used to read data into the specified dynamic buffer sequence until a user-defined match condition function object, when applied to the data contained in the dynamic buffer sequence, indicates a successful match. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:


* The match condition function object returns a std::pair where the second element evaluates to true.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's read\_some function. If the match condition function object already indicates a match, the function returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the SyncReadStream concept.]]

[[buffers][A dynamic buffer sequence into which the data will be read.]]

[[match_condition][The function object to be called to determine whether a match exists. The signature of the function object must be: 
``

``
where `iterator` represents the type: 
``
  buffers_iterator<typename DynamicBuffer_v2::const_buffers_type>
``
The iterator parameters `begin` and `end` define the range of bytes to be scanned to determine whether there is a match. The `first` member of the return value is an iterator marking one-past-the-end of the bytes that have been consumed by the match function. This iterator is used to calculate the `begin` parameter for any subsequent invocation of the match condition. The `second` member of the return value is true if a match has been found, false otherwise.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes in the dynamic\_buffer's get area that have been fully consumed by the match function.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
After a successful read\_until operation, the dynamic buffer sequence may contain additional data beyond that which matched the function object. An application will typically leave that data in the dynamic buffer sequence for a subsequent read\_until operation to examine.


[heading Remarks]
      
The default implementation of the `is_match_condition` type trait evaluates to true for function pointers and function objects with a `result_type` typedef. It must be specialised for other user-defined function objects.


[heading Examples]
  
To read data into a dynamic buffer sequence until whitespace is encountered: 

  typedef boost::asio::buffers_iterator<
      boost::asio::const_buffer> iterator;

  std::pair<iterator, bool>
  match_whitespace(iterator begin, iterator end)
  {
    iterator i = begin;
    while (i != end)
      if (std::isspace(*i++))
        return std::make_pair(i, true);
    return std::make_pair(i, false);
  }
  ...
  std::string data;
  boost::asio::read_until(s, data, match_whitespace);




To read data into a `std::string` until a matching character is found: 

  class match_char
  {
  public:
    explicit match_char(char c) : c_(c) {}

    template <typename Iterator>
    std::pair<Iterator, bool> operator()(
        Iterator begin, Iterator end) const
    {
      Iterator i = begin;
      while (i != end)
        if (c_ == *i++)
          return std::make_pair(i, true);
      return std::make_pair(i, false);
    }

  private:
    char c_;
  };

  namespace asio {

[section:require require]

[indexterm1 boost_asio.indexterm.require..require]

A customisation point that applies a concept-preserving property to an object. 


  constexpr unspecified require = unspecified;


The name `require` denotes a customisation point object. The expression `boost::asio::require(E, P0, Pn...)` for some subexpressions `E` and `P0`, and where `Pn...` represents `N` subexpressions (where `N` is 0 or more, and with types `T = decay_t<decltype(E)>` and `Prop0 = decay_t<decltype(P0)>`) is expression-equivalent to:


* If `is_applicable_property_v<T, Prop0> && Prop0::is_requirable` is not a well-formed constant expression with value `true`, `boost::asio::require(E, P0, Pn...)` is ill-formed.


* Otherwise, `E` if `N == 0` and the expression `Prop0::template static_query_v<T> == Prop0::value()` is a well-formed constant expression with value `true`.


* Otherwise, `(E).require(P0)` if `N == 0` and the expression `(E).require(P0)` is a valid expression.


* Otherwise, `require(E, P0)` if `N == 0` and the expression `require(E, P0)` is a valid expression with overload resolution performed in a context that does not include the declaration of the `require` customization point object.


* Otherwise, `boost::asio::require(boost::asio::require(E, P0), Pn...)` if `N > 0` and the expression `boost::asio::require(boost::asio::require(E, P0), Pn...)` is a valid expression.


* Otherwise, `boost::asio::require(E, P0, Pn...)` is ill-formed.

A customisation point that applies a concept-enforcing property to an object.

* If `is_applicable_property_v<T, Prop> && Prop::is_requirable_concept` is not a well-formed constant expression with value `true`, `boost::asio::require_concept(E, P)` is ill-formed.


* Otherwise, `E` if the expression `Prop::template static_query_v<T> == Prop::value()` is a well-formed constant expression with value `true`.


* Otherwise, `(E).require_concept(P)` if the expression `(E).require_concept(P)` is well-formed.


* Otherwise, `require_concept(E, P)` if the expression `require_concept(E, P)` is a valid expression with overload resolution performed in a context that does not include the declaration of the `require_concept` customization point object.

The [link boost_asio.reference.basic_signal_set `basic_signal_set`] class provides the ability to perform an asynchronous wait for one or more signals to occur.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.


[heading Example]
  
Performing an asynchronous wait: 

  void handler(
      const boost::system::error_code& error,
      int signal_number)
  {
    if (!error)
    {
      // A signal occurred.
    }
  }

  ...

  // Construct a signal set registered for process termination.
  boost::asio::signal_set signals(my_context, SIGINT, SIGTERM);

  // Start an asynchronous wait for one of the signals to occur.
  signals.async_wait(handler);





[heading Queueing of signal notifications]
  


If a signal is registered with a signal\_set, and the signal occurs when there are no waiting handlers, then the signal notification is queued. The next async\_wait operation on that signal\_set will dequeue the notification. If multiple notifications are queued, subsequent async\_wait operations dequeue them one at a time. Signal notifications are dequeued in order of ascending signal number.

If a signal number is removed from a signal\_set (using the `remove` or `erase` member functions) then any queued notifications for that signal are discarded.


[heading Multiple registration of signals]
  


The same signal number may be registered with different signal\_set objects. When the signal occurs, one handler is called for each signal\_set object.

Note that multiple registration only works for signals that are registered using Asio. The application must not also register a signal handler using functions such as `signal()` or `sigaction()`.


[heading Signal masking on POSIX platforms]
  


POSIX allows signals to be blocked using functions such as `sigprocmask()` and `pthread_sigmask()`. For signals to be delivered, programs must ensure that any signals registered using signal\_set objects are unblocked in at least one thread.

The [link boost_asio.reference.spawn `spawn`] function is a high-level wrapper over the Boost.Coroutine library. This function enables programs to implement asynchronous logic in a synchronous manner, as illustrated by the following example:



  boost::asio::spawn(my_strand, do_echo, boost::asio::detached);

  // ...

  void do_echo(boost::asio::yield_context yield)
  {
    try
    {
      char data[128];
      for (;;)
      {
        std::size_t length =
          my_socket.async_read_some(
            boost::asio::buffer(data), yield);

        boost::asio::async_write(my_socket,
            boost::asio::buffer(data, length), yield);
      }
    }
    catch (std::exception& e)
    {
      // ...
    }
  }

This function is used to asynchronously perform an SSL handshake on the stream. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[type][The type of handshaking to be performed, i.e. as a client or as a server.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the handshake completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    const boost::system::error_code& error // Result of operation.
  );

The thread pool class is an execution context where functions are permitted to run on one of a fixed number of threads.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Safe, with the specific exceptions of the `join()` `wait()` and `notify_fork()` functions. The `join()` and `wait()` functions must not be called at the same time as other calls to `join()` or `wait()` on the same pool. The `notify_fork()` function should not be called while any [link boost_asio.reference.thread_pool `thread_pool`] function, or any function on an I/O object that is associated with the [link boost_asio.reference.thread_pool `thread_pool`], is being called in another thread. (In effect, this means that `notify_fork()` is safe only on a thread pool that has no internal or attached threads at the time.)


[heading Submitting tasks to the pool]
  


To submit functions to the thread pool, use the [link boost_asio.reference.dispatch `dispatch`], [link boost_asio.reference.post `post`] or [link boost_asio.reference.defer `defer`] free functions.

For example:



  void my_task()
  {
    ...
  }

  ...

  // Launch the pool with four threads.
  boost::asio::thread_pool pool(4);

  // Submit a function to the pool.
  boost::asio::post(pool, my_task);

  // Submit a lambda object to the pool.
  boost::asio::post(pool,
      []()
      {

]

The [link boost_asio.reference.basic_waitable_timer `basic_waitable_timer`] class template provides the ability to perform a blocking or asynchronous wait for a timer to expire.

A waitable timer is always in one of two states: "expired" or "not expired". If the `wait()` or `async_wait()` function is called on an expired timer, the wait operation will complete immediately.

Most applications will use one of the [link boost_asio.reference.steady_timer `steady_timer`], [link boost_asio.reference.system_timer `system_timer`] or [link boost_asio.reference.high_resolution_timer `high_resolution_timer`] typedefs.


[heading Remarks]
      
This waitable timer functionality is for use with the C++11 standard library's `<chrono>` facility, or with the Boost.Chrono library.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.


[heading Examples]
  
Performing a blocking wait (C++11): 

  // Construct a timer without setting an expiry time.
  boost::asio::steady_timer timer(my_context);

  // Set an expiry time relative to now.
  timer.expires_after(std::chrono::seconds(5));

  // Wait for the timer to expire.
  timer.wait();





Performing an asynchronous wait (C++11): 

  void handler(const boost::system::error_code& error)
  {
    if (!error)
    {
      // Timer expired.
    }
  }

  ...

  // Construct a timer with an absolute expiry time.
  boost::asio::steady_timer timer(my_context,
      std::chrono::steady_clock::now() + std::chrono::seconds(60));

  // Start an asynchronous wait.
  timer.async_wait(handler);





[heading Changing an active waitable timer's expiry time]
  


Changing the expiry time of a timer while there are pending asynchronous waits causes those wait operations to be cancelled. To ensure that the action associated with the timer is performed only once, use something like this: used:



  void on_some_event()
  {
    if (my_timer.expires_after(seconds(5)) > 0)
    {
      // We managed to cancel the timer. Start new asynchronous wait.
      my_timer.async_wait(on_timeout);
    }
    else
    {
      // Too late, timer has already expired!
    }
  }

  void on_timeout(const boost::system::error_code& e)
  {
    if (e != boost::asio::error::operation_aborted)
    {
      // Timer was not cancelled, take necessary action.
    }
  }





* The `boost::asio::basic_waitable_timer::expires_after()` function cancels any pending asynchronous waits, and returns the number of asynchronous waits that were cancelled. If it returns 0 then you were too late and the wait handler has already been executed, or will soon be executed. If it returns 1 then the wait handler was successfully cancelled.


* If a wait handler is cancelled, the boost::system::error\_code passed to it contains the value `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted`. 




This typedef uses the C++11 `<chrono>` standard library facility, if available. Otherwise, it may use the Boost.Chrono library. To explicitly utilise Boost.Chrono, use the [link boost_asio.reference.basic_waitable_timer `basic_waitable_timer`] template directly: 

  typedef basic_waitable_timer<boost::chrono::steady_clock> timer;

The `basic_streambuf` class is derived from `std::streambuf` to associate the streambuf's input and output sequences with one or more character arrays. These character arrays are internal to the `basic_streambuf` object, but direct access to the array elements is provided to permit them to be used efficiently with I/O operations. Characters written to the output sequence of a `basic_streambuf` object are appended to the input sequence of the same object.

The `basic_streambuf` class's public interface is intended to permit the following implementation strategies:


* A single contiguous character array, which is reallocated as necessary to accommodate changes in the size of the character sequence. This is the implementation approach currently used in Asio.


* A sequence of one or more character arrays, where each array is of the same size. Additional character array objects are appended to the sequence to accommodate changes in the size of the character sequence.


* A sequence of one or more character arrays of varying sizes. Additional character array objects are appended to the sequence to accommodate changes in the size of the character sequence.

The constructor for [link boost_asio.reference.basic_streambuf `basic_streambuf`] accepts a `size_t` argument specifying the maximum of the sum of the sizes of the input sequence and output sequence. During the lifetime of the `basic_streambuf` object, the following invariant holds: 

  size() <= max_size()


Any member function that would, if successful, cause the invariant to be violated shall throw an exception of class `std::length_error`.

The constructor for `basic_streambuf` takes an Allocator argument. A copy of this argument is used for any memory allocation performed, by the constructor and by all member functions, during the lifetime of each `basic_streambuf` object.


[heading Examples]
  
Writing directly from an streambuf to a socket: 

  boost::asio::streambuf b;
  std::ostream os(&b);
  os << "Hello, World!\n";

  // try sending some data in input sequence
  size_t n = sock.send(b.data());

  b.consume(n); // sent data is removed from input sequence




Reading from a socket directly into a streambuf: 

  boost::asio::streambuf b;

  // reserve 512 bytes in output sequence
  boost::asio::streambuf::mutable_buffers_type bufs = b.prepare(512);

  size_t n = sock.receive(bufs);

  // received data is "committed" from output sequence to input sequence
  b.commit(n);

  std::istream is(&b);
  std::string s;
  is >> s;

Notify the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] of a fork-related event. 


  void notify_fork(
      fork_event event);


This function is used to inform the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] that the process is about to fork, or has just forked. This allows the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`], and the services it contains, to perform any necessary housekeeping to ensure correct operation following a fork.

This function must not be called while any other [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] function, or any function associated with the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`]'s derived class, is being called in another thread. It is, however, safe to call this function from within a completion handler, provided no other thread is accessing the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] or its derived class.

[heading Example]
  
The following code illustrates how to incorporate the `notify_fork()` function: 

  my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_prepare);
  if (fork() == 0)
  {
    // This is the child process.
    my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_child);
  }
  else
  {
    // This is the parent process.
    my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_parent);
  } 





[heading Remarks]
      
For each service object `svc` in the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] set, performs `svc->notify_fork();`.

The [link boost_asio.reference.basic_waitable_timer `basic_waitable_timer`] class template provides the ability to perform a blocking or asynchronous wait for a timer to expire.

A waitable timer is always in one of two states: "expired" or "not expired". If the `wait()` or `async_wait()` function is called on an expired timer, the wait operation will complete immediately.

Most applications will use one of the [link boost_asio.reference.steady_timer `steady_timer`], [link boost_asio.reference.system_timer `system_timer`] or [link boost_asio.reference.high_resolution_timer `high_resolution_timer`] typedefs.


[heading Remarks]
      
This waitable timer functionality is for use with the C++11 standard library's `<chrono>` facility, or with the Boost.Chrono library.

[heading Examples]
  
Performing a blocking wait (C++11): 

  // Construct a timer without setting an expiry time.
  boost::asio::steady_timer timer(my_context);

  // Set an expiry time relative to now.
  timer.expires_after(std::chrono::seconds(5));

  // Wait for the timer to expire.
  timer.wait();





Performing an asynchronous wait (C++11): 

  void handler(const boost::system::error_code& error)
  {
    if (!error)
    {
      // Timer expired.
    }
  }

  ...

  // Construct a timer with an absolute expiry time.
  boost::asio::steady_timer timer(my_context,
      std::chrono::steady_clock::now() + std::chrono::seconds(60));

  // Start an asynchronous wait.
  timer.async_wait(handler);





[heading Changing an active waitable timer's expiry time]
  


Changing the expiry time of a timer while there are pending asynchronous waits causes those wait operations to be cancelled. To ensure that the action associated with the timer is performed only once, use something like this: used:



  void on_some_event()
  {
    if (my_timer.expires_after(seconds(5)) > 0)
    {
      // We managed to cancel the timer. Start new asynchronous wait.
      my_timer.async_wait(on_timeout);
    }
    else
    {
      // Too late, timer has already expired!
    }
  }

  void on_timeout(const boost::system::error_code& e)
  {
    if (e != boost::asio::error::operation_aborted)
    {
      // Timer was not cancelled, take necessary action.
    }
  }





* The `boost::asio::basic_waitable_timer::expires_after()` function cancels any pending asynchronous waits, and returns the number of asynchronous waits that were cancelled. If it returns 0 then you were too late and the wait handler has already been executed, or will soon be executed. If it returns 1 then the wait handler was successfully cancelled.


* If a wait handler is cancelled, the boost::system::error\_code passed to it contains the value `boost::asio::error::operation_aborted`. 




This typedef uses the C++11 `<chrono>` standard library facility, if available. Otherwise, it may use the Boost.Chrono library. To explicitly utilise Boost.Chrono, use the [link boost_asio.reference.basic_waitable_timer `basic_waitable_timer`] template directly: 

  typedef basic_waitable_timer<boost::chrono::system_clock> timer;

The thread pool class is an execution context where functions are permitted to run on one of a fixed number of threads.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Safe, with the specific exceptions of the `join()` `wait()` and `notify_fork()` functions. The `join()` and `wait()` functions must not be called at the same time as other calls to `join()` or `wait()` on the same pool. The `notify_fork()` function should not be called while any [link boost_asio.reference.thread_pool `thread_pool`] function, or any function on an I/O object that is associated with the [link boost_asio.reference.thread_pool `thread_pool`], is being called in another thread. (In effect, this means that `notify_fork()` is safe only on a thread pool that has no internal or attached threads at the time.)


[heading Submitting tasks to the pool]
  


To submit functions to the thread pool, use the [link boost_asio.reference.dispatch `dispatch`], [link boost_asio.reference.post `post`] or [link boost_asio.reference.defer `defer`] free functions.

For example:



  void my_task()
  {
    ...
  }

  ...

  // Launch the pool with four threads.
  boost::asio::thread_pool pool(4);

  // Submit a function to the pool.
  boost::asio::post(pool, my_task);

  // Submit a lambda object to the pool.
  boost::asio::post(pool,
      []()
      {
        ...
      });

  // Wait for all tasks in the pool to complete.
  pool.join();

[section:notify_fork thread_pool::notify_fork]


['Inherited from execution_context.]

Notify the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] of a fork-related event. 


  void notify_fork(
      fork_event event);


This function is used to inform the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] that the process is about to fork, or has just forked. This allows the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`], and the services it contains, to perform any necessary housekeeping to ensure correct operation following a fork.

This function must not be called while any other [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] function, or any function associated with the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`]'s derived class, is being called in another thread. It is, however, safe to call this function from within a completion handler, provided no other thread is accessing the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] or its derived class.

[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure. If the notification fails the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] object should no longer be used and should be destroyed.]]

]


[heading Example]
  
The following code illustrates how to incorporate the `notify_fork()` function: 

  my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_prepare);
  if (fork() == 0)
  {
    // This is the child process.
    my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_child);
  }
  else
  {
    // This is the parent process.
    my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_parent);
  } 





[heading Remarks]
      
For each service object `svc` in the [link boost_asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] set, performs `svc->notify_fork();`. When processing the fork\_prepare event, services are visited in reverse order of the beginning of service object lifetime. Otherwise, services are visited in order of the beginning of service object lifetime.

The `use_awaitable_t` class, with its value `use_awaitable`, is used to represent the currently executing coroutine. This completion token may be passed as a handler to an asynchronous operation. For example:



  awaitable<void> my_coroutine()
  {
    std::size_t n = co_await my_socket.async_read_some(buffer, use_awaitable);
    ...
  } 




When used with co\_await, the initiating function (`async_read_some` in the above example) suspends the current coroutine. The coroutine is resumed when the asynchronous operation completes, and the result of the operation is returned.

The `use_awaitable_t` class, with its value `use_awaitable`, is used to represent the currently executing coroutine. This completion token may be passed as a handler to an asynchronous operation. For example:



  awaitable<void> my_coroutine()
  {
    std::size_t n = co_await my_socket.async_read_some(buffer, use_awaitable);
    ...
  } 




When used with co\_await, the initiating function (`async_read_some` in the above example) suspends the current coroutine. The coroutine is resumed when the asynchronous operation completes, and the result of the operation is returned.

The [link boost_asio.reference.use_future_t `use_future_t`] class is a completion token type that is used to indicate that an asynchronous operation should return a std::future object. A [link boost_asio.reference.use_future_t `use_future_t`] object may be passed as a completion token to an asynchronous operation, typically using the special value `boost::asio::use_future`. For example:



  std::future<std::size_t> my_future
   = my_socket.async_read_some(my_buffer, boost::asio::use_future); 




The initiating function (async\_read\_some in the above example) returns a future that will receive the result of the operation. If the operation completes with an error\_code indicating failure, it is converted into a system\_error and passed back to the caller via the future.

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.windows__basic_random_access_handle.async_read_some_at..async_read_some_at..windows::basic_random_access_handle] 
Start an asynchronous read at the specified offset. 


  template<

      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.ReadToken ReadToken]`` = default_completion_token_t<executor_type>>

      uint64_t offset,
      const MutableBufferSequence & buffers,
      ReadToken && token = default_completion_token_t< executor_type >());


This function is used to asynchronously read data from the random-access handle. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[offset][The offset at which the data will be read.]]

[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the read completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    const boost::system::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
    std::size_t bytes_transferred // Number of bytes read.
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

]


[heading Completion Signature]
  


  void(boost::system::error_code, std::size_t) 





[heading Remarks]
      
The read operation may not read all of the requested number of bytes. Consider using the [link boost_asio.reference.async_read_at `async_read_at`] function if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is read before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  handle.async_read_some_at(42, boost::asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.


[heading Per-Operation Cancellation]
  
This asynchronous operation supports cancellation for the following [link boost_asio.reference.cancellation_type `cancellation_type`] values:


* `cancellation_type::terminal` 


* `cancellation_type::partial` 


* `cancellation_type::total`

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.windows__basic_random_access_handle.async_write_some_at..async_write_some_at..windows::basic_random_access_handle] 
Start an asynchronous write at the specified offset. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.ConstBufferSequence ConstBufferSequence]``,
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.WriteToken WriteToken]`` = default_completion_token_t<executor_type>>

      uint64_t offset,
      const ConstBufferSequence & buffers,
      WriteToken && token = default_completion_token_t< executor_type >());


This function is used to asynchronously write data to the random-access handle. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[offset][The offset at which the data will be written.]]

[[buffers][One or more data buffers to be written to the handle. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the write completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``

    std::size_t bytes_transferred // Number of bytes written.
  ); 
``

]


[heading Completion Signature]
  


  void(boost::system::error_code, std::size_t) 





[heading Remarks]
      
The write operation may not transmit all of the data to the peer. Consider using the [link boost_asio.reference.async_write_at `async_write_at`] function if you need to ensure that all data is written before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To write a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  handle.async_write_some_at(42, boost::asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on writing multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

[section:async_read_some windows::basic_stream_handle::async_read_some]

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.windows__basic_stream_handle.async_read_some..async_read_some..windows::basic_stream_handle] 
Start an asynchronous read. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.MutableBufferSequence MutableBufferSequence]``,
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.ReadToken ReadToken]`` = default_completion_token_t<executor_type>>
  ``[link boost_asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.automatic_deduction_of_initiating_function_return_type ['DEDUCED]]`` async_read_some(
      const MutableBufferSequence & buffers,
      ReadToken && token = default_completion_token_t< executor_type >());


This function is used to asynchronously read data from the stream handle. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the read completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    const boost::system::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
    std::size_t bytes_transferred // Number of bytes read.
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

]


[heading Completion Signature]
  


  void(boost::system::error_code, std::size_t) 





[heading Remarks]
      
The read operation may not read all of the requested number of bytes. Consider using the [link boost_asio.reference.async_read `async_read`] function if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is read before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  handle.async_read_some(boost::asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.


[heading Per-Operation Cancellation]
  
This asynchronous operation supports cancellation for the following [link boost_asio.reference.cancellation_type `cancellation_type`] values:


* `cancellation_type::terminal` 


* `cancellation_type::partial` 


* `cancellation_type::total` 




[endsect]



[section:async_write_some windows::basic_stream_handle::async_write_some]

[indexterm2 boost_asio.indexterm.windows__basic_stream_handle.async_write_some..async_write_some..windows::basic_stream_handle] 
Start an asynchronous write. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.ConstBufferSequence ConstBufferSequence]``,
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.WriteToken WriteToken]`` = default_completion_token_t<executor_type>>
  ``[link boost_asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.automatic_deduction_of_initiating_function_return_type ['DEDUCED]]`` async_write_some(
      const ConstBufferSequence & buffers,
      WriteToken && token = default_completion_token_t< executor_type >());


This function is used to asynchronously write data to the stream handle. It is an initiating function for an [link boost_asio.overview.model.async_ops asynchronous operation], and always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more data buffers to be written to the handle. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called.]]

[[token][The [link boost_asio.overview.model.completion_tokens completion token] that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the write completes. Potential completion tokens include [link boost_asio.reference.use_future `use_future`], [link boost_asio.reference.use_awaitable `use_awaitable`], [link boost_asio.reference.yield_context `yield_context`], or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be: 
``
  void handler(
    const boost::system::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
    std::size_t bytes_transferred // Number of bytes written.
  ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using [link boost_asio.reference.async_immediate `async_immediate`].]]

]


[heading Completion Signature]
  


  void(boost::system::error_code, std::size_t) 





[heading Remarks]
      
The write operation may not transmit all of the data to the peer. Consider using the [link boost_asio.reference.async_write `async_write`] function if you need to ensure that all data is written before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To write a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  handle.async_write_some(boost::asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on writing multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.


[heading Per-Operation Cancellation]
  
This asynchronous operation supports cancellation for the following [link boost_asio.reference.cancellation_type `cancellation_type`] values:


* `cancellation_type::terminal` 


* `cancellation_type::partial` 


* `cancellation_type::total`

  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.MutableBufferSequence MutableBufferSequence]``>
  std::size_t read_some(
      const MutableBufferSequence & buffers);


This function is used to read data from the stream handle. The function call will block until one or more bytes of data has been read successfully, or until an error occurs.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes read.

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure. An error code of `boost::asio::error::eof` indicates that the connection was closed by the peer.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
The read\_some operation may not read all of the requested number of bytes. Consider using the [link boost_asio.reference.read `read`] function if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is read before the blocking operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  handle.read_some(boost::asio::buffer(data, size));


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

[section:overload1 write (1 of 16 overloads)]


Write all of the supplied data to a stream before returning. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.SyncWriteStream SyncWriteStream]``,
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.ConstBufferSequence ConstBufferSequence]``>
  std::size_t write(
      SyncWriteStream & s,
      const ConstBufferSequence & buffers,
      constraint_t< is_const_buffer_sequence< ConstBufferSequence >::value >  = 0);


This function is used to write a certain number of bytes of data to a stream. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:


* All of the data in the supplied buffers has been written. That is, the bytes transferred is equal to the sum of the buffer sizes.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's write\_some function.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream to which the data is to be written. The type must support the SyncWriteStream concept.]]

[[buffers][One or more buffers containing the data to be written. The sum of the buffer sizes indicates the maximum number of bytes to write to the stream.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes transferred.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[boost::system::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Example]
  
To write a single data buffer use the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] function as follows: 

  boost::asio::write(s, boost::asio::buffer(data, size)); 


See the [link boost_asio.reference.buffer `buffer`] documentation for information on writing multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.


[heading Remarks]
      
This overload is equivalent to calling: 

  boost::asio::write(
     s, buffers,
     boost::asio::transfer_all());

[section:overload8 write_at (8 of 8 overloads)]


Write a certain amount of data at a specified offset before returning. 


  template<
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.SyncRandomAccessWriteDevice SyncRandomAccessWriteDevice]``,
      typename Allocator,
      typename ``[link boost_asio.reference.CompletionCondition CompletionCondition]``>
  std::size_t write_at(
      SyncRandomAccessWriteDevice & d,
      uint64_t offset,
      basic_streambuf< Allocator > & b,
      CompletionCondition completion_condition,
      boost::system::error_code & ec,
      constraint_t< is_completion_condition< CompletionCondition >::value >  = 0);


This function is used to write a certain number of bytes of data to a random access device at a specified offset. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:


* All of the data in the supplied [link boost_asio.reference.basic_streambuf `basic_streambuf`] has been written.


* The completion\_condition function object returns 0.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the device's write\_some\_at function.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[d][The device to which the data is to be written. The type must support the SyncRandomAccessWriteDevice concept.]]

[[offset][The offset at which the data will be written.]]

[[b][The [link boost_asio.reference.basic_streambuf `basic_streambuf`] object from which data will be written.]]

[[completion_condition][The function object to be called to determine whether the write operation is complete. The signature of the function object must be: 
``
  std::size_t completion_condition(
    // Result of latest write_some_at operation.
    const boost::system::error_code& error,

    // Number of bytes transferred so far.
    std::size_t bytes_transferred
  ); 
``
A return value of 0 indicates that the write operation is complete. A non-zero return value indicates the maximum number of bytes to be written on the next call to the device's write\_some\_at function.]]

[[ec][Set to indicate what error occurred, if any.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes written. If an error occurs, returns the total number of bytes successfully transferred prior to the error.

The [link boost_asio.reference.basic_yield_context `basic_yield_context`] class is a completion token type that is used to represent the currently executing stackful coroutine. A [link boost_asio.reference.basic_yield_context `basic_yield_context`] object may be passed as a completion token to an asynchronous operation. For example:



  template <typename Executor>
  void my_coroutine(basic_yield_context<Executor> yield)
  {
    ...
    std::size_t n = my_socket.async_read_some(buffer, yield);
    ...
  } 




The initiating function (async\_read\_some in the above example) suspends the current coroutine. The coroutine is resumed when the asynchronous operation completes, and the result of the operation is returned.
