<a href="task/struct.JoinHandle.html"><code>JoinHandle</code></a> for it.</p>
<p>Spawning a task enables the task to execute concurrently to other tasks. The
spawned task may execute on the current thread, or it may be sent to a
different thread to be executed. The specifics depend on the current
<a href="runtime/struct.Runtime.html"><code>Runtime</code></a> configuration.</p>
<p>There is no guarantee that a spawned task will execute to completion.
When a runtime is shutdown, all outstanding tasks are dropped,
regardless of the lifecycle of that task.</p>
<p>This function must be called from the context of a Tokio runtime. Tasks running on
the Tokio runtime are always inside its context, but you can also enter the context
using the <a href="runtime/struct.Runtime.html#method.enter"><code>Runtime::enter</code></a> method.</p>
<h2 id="examples" class="section-header"><a href="#examples">Examples</a></h2>
<p>In this example, a server is started and <code>spawn</code> is used to start a new task
that processes each received connection.</p>

<p>The task supplied to <code>spawn</code> must implement <code>Send</code>. However, it is
possible to <strong>use</strong> <code>!Send</code> values from the task as long as they only
exist between calls to <code>.await</code>.</p>
<p>For example, this will work:</p>

<p>This will <strong>not</strong> work:</p>
