        Command::Retr(file) => self = await!(self.retr(file))?,
        // …
    }
}

Here is the start of the retr() function:

use std::fs::File; use std::io::Read; use error::Error; #[async] fn retr(mut self, path: PathBuf) -> Result<Self> { if self.data_writer.is_some() { let path = self.cwd.join(path); let (new_self, res) = self.complete_path(path.clone()); self = new_self; if let Ok(path) = res { if path.is_file() { self = await!(self.send(Answer::new(ResultCode::DataConnectionAlreadyOpen, ...
