Module futures::channel [] [src]

Cross-task communication.

Like threads, concurrent tasks sometimes need to communicate with each other. This module contains two basic abstractions for doing so:

  • oneshot, a way of sending a single value from one task to another.

  • mpsc, a multi-producer, single-consumer channel for sending values between tasks, analogous to the similarly-named structure in the standard library.
