The type of channels

val make_bounded : int -> 'a t

make_bounded n makes a bounded channel with a buffer of size n. Raises * Invalid_argument "Chan.make_bounded" if the buffer size is less than 0. * * With a buffer size of 0, the send operation becomes synchronous. With a * buffer size of 1, you get the familiar MVar structure. The channel may be * shared between many sending and receiving domains.

val make_unbounded : unit -> 'a t

Returns an unbounded channel

val send : 'a t -> 'a -> unit

send c v sends the values v over the channel c. If the channel buffer * is full then the sending domain blocks until space becomes available.

val send_poll : 'a t -> 'a -> bool

send_poll c v attempts to send the value v over the channel c. If the * channel buffer is not full, the message is sent and returns true. Otherwise, * returns false.

val recv : 'a t -> 'a

recv c returns a value v received over the channel. If the channel * buffer is empty then the domain blocks until a message is sent on the * channel.

val recv_poll : 'a t -> 'a option

recv_poll c attempts to receive a message on the channel c. If a * message v is available on the channel then Some v is returned. * Otherwise, returns None.
