#![cfg_attr(not(feature = "sync"), allow(dead_code, unreachable_pub))] //! A multi-producer, single-consumer queue for sending values across //! asynchronous tasks. //! //! Similar to `std`, channel creation provides [`Receiver`] and [`Sender`] //! handles. [`Receiver`] implements `Stream` and allows a task to read values //! out of the channel. If there is no message to read, the current task will be //! notified when a new value is sent. [`Sender`] implements the `Sink` trait //! and allows sending messages into the channel. If the channel is at capacity, //! the send is rejected and the task will be notified when additional capacity //! is available. In other words, the channel provides backpressure. //! //! Unbounded channels are also available using the `unbounded_channel` //! constructor. //! //! # Disconnection //! //! When all [`Sender`] handles have been dropped, it is no longer //! possible to send values into the channel. This is considered the termination //! event of the stream. As such, `Receiver::poll` returns `Ok(Ready(None))`. //! //! If the [`Receiver`] handle is dropped, then messages can no longer //! be read out of the channel. In this case, all further attempts to send will //! result in an error. //! //! # Clean Shutdown //! //! When the [`Receiver`] is dropped, it is possible for unprocessed messages to //! remain in the channel. Instead, it is usually desirable to perform a "clean" //! shutdown. To do this, the receiver first calls `close`, which will prevent //! any further messages to be sent into the channel. Then, the receiver //! consumes the channel to completion, at which point the receiver can be //! dropped. //! //! [`Sender`]: crate::sync::mpsc::Sender //!
