# Struct actix_web::actix::actix::dev::System[−]

    pub struct System { /* fields omitted */ }

System is an actor which manages runtime.

Before starting any actix's actors, `System` actor has to be created and started with `System::run()` call. This method creates new `Arbiter` in current thread and starts `System` actor.

# Examples

    extern crate actix;

    use actix::prelude::*;
    use std::time::Duration;

    struct Timer {
        dur: Duration,
    }

    impl Actor for Timer {
        type Context = Context<Self>;

        // stop system after `self.dur` seconds
        fn started(&mut self, ctx: &mut Context<Self>) {
            ctx.run_later(self.dur, |act, ctx| {
                // Stop current running system.
                System::current().stop();
            });
        }
    }

    fn main() {
        // initialize system and run it.
        // This function blocks current thread
        let code = System::run(|| {
            // Start `Timer` actor
            Timer {
                dur: Duration::new(0, 1),
            }.start();
        });

        std::process::exit(code);
    }

## Methods

###

`impl System`

####

`pub fn new<T>(name: T) -> SystemRunner where T: Into<String>,` |

Create new system.

This method panics if it can not create tokio runtime

####

`pub fn current() -> System` |

Get current running system.

####

`pub fn with_current<F, R>(f: F) -> R where F: FnOnce(&System) -> R,` |

Execute function with system reference.

####

`pub fn stop(&self)` |

Stop the system

####

`pub fn arbiter(&self) -> &Addr<Arbiter>` |

System arbiter

####

`pub fn registry(&self) -> &SystemRegistry` |

Get current system registry.

####

`pub fn run<F>(f: F) -> i32 where F: FnOnce() + 'static,` |

This function will start tokio runtime and will finish once the `System::stop()` message get called. Function `f` get called within tokio runtime context.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g. `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
