# Function futures::sync::oneshot::channel [−] [src]

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

Creates a new futures-aware, one-shot channel.

This function is similar to Rust's channels found in the standard library. Two halves are returned, the first of which is a `Sender` handle, used to signal the end of a computation and provide its value. The second half is a `Receiver` which implements the `Future` trait, resolving to the value that was given to the `Sender` handle.

Each half can be separately owned and sent across threads/tasks.

# Examples

    use std::thread;
    use futures::sync::oneshot;
    use futures::*;

    let (p, c) = oneshot::channel::<i32>();

    thread::spawn(|| {
        c.map(|i| {
            println!("got: {}", i);
        }).wait();
    });

    p.send(3).unwrap();

## 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`)
