Function tokio_core::channel::channel

pub fn channel<T>(handle: &Handle) -> Result<(Sender<T>, Receiver<T>)> where T: Send + 'static

Deprecated since 0.1.1

: use futures::sync::mpsc instead

Creates a new in-memory channel used for sending data across Send + 'static boundaries, frequently threads.

This type can be used to conveniently send messages between futures. Unlike the futures crate channel method and types, the returned tx/rx pair is a multi-producer single-consumer (mpsc) channel with no backpressure. Currently it's left up to the application to implement a mechanism, if necessary, to avoid messages piling up.

The returned Sender can be used to send messages that are processed by the returned Receiver. The Sender can be cloned to send messages from multiple sources simultaneously.
