# Function futures::unsync::mpsc::channel [−] [src]

    pub fn channel<T>(buffer: usize) -> (Sender<T>, Receiver<T>)

Creates a bounded in-memory channel with buffered storage.

This method creates concrete implementations of the `Stream` and `Sink` traits which can be used to communicate a stream of values between tasks with backpressure. The channel capacity is exactly `buffer`. On average, sending a message through this channel performs no dynamic allocation.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
