Module channel

One-way, multi-process, typed communication channels. These are used to send messages between mailboxes residing in different processes.

Modules

sim

Local simulated channel implementation.

Structs

ChannelRx

Universal channel receiver.

ChannelTx

Universal channel transmitter.

SendError

An error that occurred during send. Returns the message that failed to send.

Enums

ChannelAddr

The type of a channel address, used to multiplex different underlying channel implementations. ChannelAddrs also have a concrete syntax: the address type (e.g., “tcp” or “local”), followed by “:”, and an address parseable to that type. For example:

ChannelError

The type of error that can occur on channel operations.

ChannelTransport

Types of channel transports.

TlsMode

The hostname to use for TLS connections.

TxStatus

The possible states of a Tx.

Traits

Rx

The receive end of an M-typed channel.

Tx

The transmit end of an M-typed channel.

Functions

dial

Dial the provided address, returning the corresponding Tx, or error if the channel cannot be established. The underlying connection is dropped whenever the returned Tx is dropped.

serve

Serve on the provided channel address. The server is turned down when the returned Rx is dropped.

serve_local

Serve on the local address. The server is turned down when the returned Rx is dropped.

Type Aliases

Hostname

The type of (TCP) hostnames.

Port

The type of (TCP) ports.
