Traits, helpers, and type definitions for core I/O functionality.

## Macros§

const_errorExperimental
  Creates a new I/O error from a known kind of error and a string literal.

## Structs§

BorrowedBufExperimental
  A borrowed buffer of initially uninitialized elements, which is incrementally filled.
BorrowedCursorExperimental
  A writeable view of the unfilled portion of a `BorrowedBuf`.
ChainExperimental
  Adapter to chain together two readers.
CursorExperimental
  A `Cursor` wraps an in-memory buffer and provides it with a `Seek` implementation.
EmptyExperimental
  `Empty` ignores any data written via `Write`, and will always be empty (returning zero bytes) when read via `Read`.
ErrorExperimental
  The error type for I/O operations of the `Read`, `Write`, `Seek`, and associated traits.
IoSliceExperimental
  A buffer type used with `Write::write_vectored`.
IoSliceMutExperimental
  A buffer type used with `Read::read_vectored`.
RepeatExperimental
  A reader which yields one byte over and over and over and over and over and…
SinkExperimental
  A writer which will move data into the void.
TakeExperimental
  Reader adapter which limits the bytes read from an underlying reader.

## Enums§

ErrorKindExperimental
  A list specifying general categories of I/O error.

## Functions§

emptyExperimental
  Creates a value that is always at EOF for reads, and ignores all data written.
repeatExperimental
  Creates an instance of a reader that infinitely repeats one byte.
sinkExperimental
  Creates an instance of a writer which will successfully consume all data.

## Type Aliases§

RawOsErrorExperimental
  The type of raw OS error codes.
ResultExperimental
  A specialized `Result` type for I/O operations.
