Crate async_channel

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.
