channel

Channel[predicate\unknown]

Channels allow data to be shared between fibers.

close

channel.close: () => ()

Close a channel. Any fibers waiting to receive from this channel will receive none:.

is\closed

channel.is\closed: () => boolean

Return true: if a channel is closed, and false: otherwise.

Keep in mind that a channel may be closed by another fiber at any time - so the return value of this message may change unexpectedly.

is\full

channel.is\full: () => boolean

Return true: if a channel is occupied by a value, and false: otherwise.

Keep in mind that a channel may be closed by another fiber at any time - so the return value of this message may change unexpectedly.

is\empty

channel.is\empty: () => boolean

Return true: if a channel is not occupied by a value, and false: otherwise.

Keep in mind that a channel may be closed by another fiber at any time - so the return value of this message may change unexpectedly.

<!

channel.<!: value unknown => ()

Send a value into self. This is always a synchronization point - the sending fiber will not progress until the value has been received by another fiber.

In the case that the channel is closed before a receiver arrives, this message does nothing.

>!

channel.>!: value unknown => (some (status ok:, value unknown) | none none:)

Receive a value from self. This is always a synchronization point - the receiving fiber will not progress until it has taken a value from another sending fiber.

In the case that the channel is closed while waiting for a sending fiber, this message returns none:.
