I need deep help to deeply understand the code in simple language

Hey all, i just started learning rust and completed the basics of it. and also built some beginner friendly project in it with help of chatgpt and ai. Now i am building another project for learning and get hands dirty in rust.

Just look into below code.

// it is used to listen incoming TCP connections asynchronously.
// it is non-blocking and works with async/await
use tokio::net::TcpListener; 


// together these allow you to read from async stream line by line efficiently
// BufReader :- Wraps a reader and provide buffering
//              Helps reduce the number of .await I/O calls by buffering the input
// 
// AsyncBufReadExt :- A trait that adds methods like read_lines() and lines() 
use tokio::io::{AsyncBufReadExt, BufReader}; 
use std::error::Error;


#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    // Bind to connection on port 6379
    println!("Redis-lite server starting...");
    let listener = TcpListener::bind("127.0.0.1:6379").await?;
    println!("Redis-lite server listening on 6379...");
    
    loop {
        // Accept a new client connection
        let (socket, addr) = listener.accept().await?;
        println!("new client connected: {}", addr);
        
        // just spawn a task as of now.
        
        tokio::spawn(async move {
            let reader = BufReader::new(socket);
            let mut lines = reader.lines();
            
            while let Ok(Some(line)) = lines.next_line().await {
                println!("Received from {}: {}", addr, line);
            }
            
            println!("Client {} disconnected", addr);
        });
    }
}

can anyone help me and explain me what each things gonna work with appropriate example. I want deep explanation and understanding of the things in rust.

Your snippet looks like it is from the tokio tutorial (or maybe an older version of it). I highly recommend reading the tutorial if you want to understand asynchronous networking with the tokio runtime.

Actually that is given my ai buddy, actually i am learning with ai, step by step, but i a unable to understand it's working so i asked here. And where i can find the docs?

I've linked the tutorial above. As I said, I do believe it is a valuable learning resource, both for reading start to finish or looking up specific aspects of async Rust and networking with tokio. If you mean the tokio API docs—which do contain a lot of additional information and examples and explain how the runtime works in quite a bit of detail—you can find them here:
