pub fn channel<T>(buffer: usize) -> (Sender<T>, Receiver<T>)Expand description
Creates a bounded mpsc channel for communicating between asynchronous tasks.
Being bounded, this channel provides backpressure to ensure that the sender
outpaces the receiver by only a limited amount. The channel’s capacity is
equal to buffer + num-senders. In other words, each sender gets a
guaranteed slot in the channel capacity, and on top of that there are
buffer “first come, first serve” slots available to all senders.
The Receiver returned implements the [Stream] trait, while Sender
implements Sink.
