This method does not block if the value is not ready. Instead, /// the current task is scheduled to be woken up when it's possible to make /// further progress by `poll`ing again. The wake up is performed using /// the `waker` argument of the `poll()` method, which is a handle for waking /// up the current task. /// /// When using a future, you generally won't call `poll` directly, but instead /// `await!` the value. #[doc(spotlight)] #[must_use = "futures do nothing unless polled"] pub trait Future { /// The type of value produced on completion. type Output; /// Attempt to resolve the future to a final value, registering /// the current task for wakeup if the value is not yet available. /// /// # Return value /// /// This function returns: /// /// - [`Poll::Pending`] if the future is not ready yet /// - [`Poll::Ready(val)`] with the result `val` of this future if it /// finished successfully. /// /// Once a future has finished, clients should not `poll` it again. /// /// When a future is not ready yet, `poll` returns `Poll::Pending` and /// stores a clone of the [`Waker`] to be woken once the future can /// make progress.
