Async networking primitives for TCP/UDP/Unix communication.

This crate is an async version of [`std::net`] and [`std::os::unix::net`].

[`std::net`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/net/index.html
[`std::os::unix::net`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/os/unix/net/index.html

## Implementation

This crate uses [`async-io`] for async I/O and [`blocking`] for DNS lookups.

[`async-io`]: https://docs.rs/async-io
[`blocking`]: https://docs.rs/blocking

## Examples

A simple UDP server that echoes messages back to the sender:

```rust
use async_net::UdpSocket;

let socket = UdpSocket::bind("127.0.0.1:8080").await?;
let mut buf = vec![0u8; 1024];

loop {
    let (n, addr) = socket.recv_from(&mut buf).await?;
    socket.send_to(&buf[..n], &addr).await?;
}
```
