Help to clean tokio spawn future

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    // Allow passing an address to listen on as the first argument of this
    // program, but otherwise we'll just set up our TCP listener on
    // 127.0.0.1:8080 for connections.
    let addr = env::args()
        .nth(1)
        .unwrap_or_else(|| "127.0.0.1:8080".to_string());

    // Next up we create a TCP listener which will listen for incoming
    // connections. This TCP listener is bound to the address we determined
    // above and must be associated with an event loop.
    let listener = TcpListener::bind(&addr).await?;
    println!("Listening on: {}", addr);

    loop {
        // Asynchronously wait for an inbound socket.
        let (mut socket, _) = listener.accept().await?;

        // And this is where much of the magic of this server happens. We
        // crucially want all clients to make progress concurrently, rather than
        // blocking one on completion of another. To achieve this we use the
        // `tokio::spawn` function to execute the work in the background.
        //
        // Essentially here we're executing a new task to run concurrently,
        // which will allow all of our clients to be processed concurrently.

        tokio::spawn(async move {
            let mut buf = vec![0; 1024];

            // In a loop, read data from the socket and write the data back.
            loop {
                let n = socket
                    .read(&mut buf)
                    .await
                    .expect("failed to read data from socket");

                if n == 0 {
                    return;
                }

                socket
                    .write_all(&buf[0..n])
                    .await
                    .expect("failed to write data to socket");
            }
        });
    }
}

Here`s the example of tokio.
How to detect client has closed the connect?
I think the spawn future is blocking or alive when client connect closed.

If the client closes the connection, then the read call returns zero and your code correctly returns from the loop.

Yes. I thought the Err(e) should be matched when client closed.

Thanks a lot.
