A reference to the IOManagerActor that performs the actual IO. It communicates with other actors using subclasses of IOMessage.

IOManager contains a reference to the IOManagerActor for an ActorSystem.
This is the recommended entry point to creating sockets for performing IO.
Use the companion object to retrieve the instance of this class for an ActorSystem.
val ioManager = IOManager(context.system) val socket = ioManager.connect("127.0.0.1")An IOManager does not need to be manually stopped when not in use as it will automatically enter an idle state when it has no channels to manage.
