AsyncReadAsyncWrite

AsyncReadAsyncWrite is a trait in the Rust programming language that defines a set of asynchronous operations for reading from and writing to a data source. It is part of the Rust standard library's asynchronous I/O facilities. This trait is designed to work with the `async`/`await` syntax, allowing for non-blocking I/O operations.

The core of AsyncReadAsyncWrite lies in its two associated traits: AsyncRead and AsyncWrite. AsyncRead provides methods for reading data asynchronously, such as `poll_read`. AsyncWrite provides methods for writing data asynchronously, such as `poll_write` and `poll_flush`. These methods are designed to be polled by an asynchronous runtime.

The primary purpose of AsyncReadAsyncWrite is to abstract over different types of asynchronous I/O, such as network sockets, files, or in-memory buffers. By implementing these traits, a type can be treated uniformly by asynchronous code that needs to perform I/O operations. This promotes code reuse and makes it easier to build complex asynchronous applications.

When an `poll_read` or `poll_write` operation is called, it does not immediately complete. Instead, it returns a `Poll` enum. If the operation is not ready, it returns `Poll::Pending` and registers the current task to be woken up when the I/O is ready. If the operation has completed, it returns `Poll::Ready` with the result. This is the fundamental mechanism by which asynchronous I/O achieves non-blocking behavior.

Many standard library types, as well as types from popular crates like `tokio` and `async-std`, implement AsyncReadAsyncWrite, making it a cornerstone of asynchronous programming in Rust.
