(** Channels.
The channels have bounded size. Push/pop return futures or can use effects
to provide an [await]-friendly version.
The channels became bounded since @0.7 .
*)
type 'a t
(** Channel carrying values of type ['a]. *)
val create : max_size:int -> unit -> 'a t
(** Create a channel. *)
exception Closed
val try_push : 'a t -> 'a -> bool
(** [try_push chan x] pushes [x] into [chan]. This does not block. Returns
[true] if it succeeded in pushing.
@raise Closed if the channel is closed. *)
val try_pop : 'a t -> 'a option
(** [try_pop chan] pops and return an element if one is available immediately.
Otherwise it returns [None].
@raise Closed if the channel is closed and empty. *)
val close : _ t -> unit
(** Close the channel. Further push and pop calls will fail. This is idempotent.
*)
val push : 'a t -> 'a -> unit
(** Push the value into the channel, suspending the current task if the channel
is currently full.
@raise Closed if the channel is closed
@since 0.7 *)
val pop : 'a t -> 'a
(** Pop an element. This might suspend the current task if the channel is
currently empty.
@raise Closed if the channel is empty and closed.
@since 0.7 *)
(*
val pop_block_exn : 'a t -> 'a
(** Like [pop], but blocks if an element is not available immediately.
The precautions around blocking from inside a thread pool
are the same as explained in {!Fut.wait_block}. *)
