* arti-client: use PreferredRuntime by default, doc cleanupseta2022-02-281-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes using the `PreferredRuntime` the first-class option inside `arti-client`, freeing users who don't want to think about runtimes from having to do so. `TorClient::create_unbootstrapped` and `builder` now automatically use this runtime, leaving only `builder_custom` for users who wish to manually specify a runtime. This lets us clean up the docs a lot: mentions of using custom runtimes are now relegated to nearer the end of the crate-level documentation, and we mostly just link to `tor_rtcompat`'s docs to explain more there. Instead, we take some more time to explain how you use the builder API to create clients synchronously. Other doc cleanups included getting rid of the explanation of `TorAddr` in the main crate-level doc; this is already well-documented elsewhere, and is something users should discover organically later. fixes arti#326
* Allow creating unbootstrapped `TorClient`s (and `DirMgr`s)eta2022-02-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit changes how the `TorClient` type works, enabling it to be constructed synchronously without initiating the bootstrapping process. Daemon tasks are still started on construction (although some of them won't do anything if the client isn't bootstrapped). The old bootstrap() methods are now reimplemented in terms of the new create_unbootstrapped() and bootstrap_existing() methods. This required refactoring how the `DirMgr` works to enable the same sort of thing there. closes #293

* | Change sane_defaults() and with_directories()Nick Mathewson2021-11-291-2/+2
|/ | | | | | | | The sane_defaults() call is now the same as you get from a default builder: by convention, we just call that method Default::default(). The with_directories() constructor makes more sense as a constructor for the TorClientConfigBuilder than for TorClientConfig.
* Improve top-level arti-client documentation, add example codeeta2021-10-281-0/+46
This overhauls the top-level `arti-client` documentation significantly: - the "Using arti-client" section walks the user through all of the necessary steps to initiate a Torified TCP connection, and then provides a code example - this example is also available as `examples/readme.rs`; it's not run as a doctest, since it involves connecting to Tor - a "More advanced usage" subheading provides information about stream isolation (and can potentially be used for other interesting features once we get them). - a new "Multiple runtime support" section was added to explain the purpose and usage of the `tor-rtcompat` crate - the section on design and privacy considerations was removed; this is probably okay to keep in a README, but users of the crate aren't going to be interested in this (at least I don't think) (also, the doc comment for `arti_client::Error` was fixed to make actual sense)
