Fixes: #6865
Motivation
I would like to use an API like
recv_many
, but from a blocking context.Solution
Use crate::future::block_on in a similar fashion to how blocking_recv does it to call the async
recv_many
function.What's missing
Tests and docs. I'll complete them once it's clear if this entire change makes sense. Do you think referring to
blocking_recv
andrecv_many
from the docs is fine or should there be more specific docs?
