Crate async_channel
source ·Expand description
An asynchronous channel for Inter-Task Communication (ITC) with an internal queue for buffering messages.
This crate offers an asynchronous channel that allows multiple tasks
to exchange messages through the use of a bounded-capacity intermediate buffer.
Unlike the rendezvous
channel, the sender and receiver do not need to rendezvous to send or receive data.
Only Send
types can be sent or received through the channel.
This is not a zero-copy channel;
to avoid copying large messages, use a reference (layer of indirection) like Box
.
Structs
Enums
Indicates whether channel is Connected or Disconnected
Error type for tracking different type of errors sender and receiver
can encounter.
Functions
Create a new channel that allows senders and receivers to
asynchronously exchange messages via an internal intermediary buffer.
