use crate::task::{self, JoinHandle};
/// Spawns a blocking task.
///
/// The task will be spawned onto a thread pool specifically dedicated to blocking tasks. This
/// is useful to prevent long-running synchronous operations from blocking the main futures
/// executor.
///
/// See also: [`task::block_on`], [`task::spawn`].
///
/// [`task::block_on`]: fn.block_on.html
/// [`task::spawn`]: fn.spawn.html
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Basic usage:
///
/// ```
/// # async_std::task::block_on(async {
/// #
/// use async_std::task;
///
/// task::spawn_blocking(|| {
/// println!("long-running task here");
/// })
/// .await;
/// #
/// # })
/// ```
