Async support

Does this crate support async? If not, how would I go about using this in an async context? (e.g. for a file upload in an async web server)

It does not support async internally and probably won't in the near future.

One goal of this library is to have zero dependencies, and from a quick glance all the async io examples I see use other crates. I'm not saying it'll never happen, but it looks like it'll increase the complexity of the library quite a bit.

As for your file upload example I don't have any specific help to give you, but I do use this crate in an async context via Serenity with no issues. I don't do anything special, I just call it from inside an async function and the library handles execution.

I see. For anyone else looking for async support, this is the workaround I managed to come up with. file is a tokio::fs::File.

let std_file = file.try_clone().await?.into_std().await;
let imgsize = spawn_blocking(|| {
    imagesize::reader_size(std::io::BufReader::new(std_file))
})
.await
.expect("Panic occured while trying to infer image size")?;
