Expand description
An async multi-producer multi-consumer channel.
There are two kinds of channels:
A channel has the Sender
and Receiver
side. Both sides are cloneable and can be shared
among multiple threads.
When all Sender
s or all Receiver
s are dropped, the channel becomes closed. When a
channel is closed, no more messages can be sent, but remaining messages can still be received.
The channel can also be closed manually by calling Sender::close()
or
Receiver::close()
.
Examples
let (s, r) = async_channel::unbounded();
assert_eq!(s.send("Hello").await, Ok(()));
assert_eq!(r.recv().await, Ok("Hello"));
