<p>Channels can be created using two functions:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><a href="fn.bounded.html"><code>bounded</code></a> creates a channel of bounded capacity, i.e. there is a limit to how many messages
it can hold at a time.</p>

<p><a href="fn.unbounded.html"><code>unbounded</code></a> creates a channel of unbounded capacity, i.e. it can hold any number of

<p>Both functions return a <a href="struct.Sender.html"><code>Sender</code></a> and a <a href="struct.Receiver.html"><code>Receiver</code></a>, which represent the two opposite sides

<h1 id="selection" class="section-header"><a href="#selection">Selection</a></h1>
<p>The <a href="macro.select.html"><code>select!</code></a> macro allows you to define a set of channel operations, wait until any one of
them becomes ready, and finally execute it. If multiple operations are ready at the same time,
a random one among them is selected.</p>
<p>It is also possible to define a <code>default</code> case that gets executed if none of the operations are
ready, either right away or for a certain duration of time.</p>
<p>An operation is considered to be ready if it doesn't have to block. Note that it is ready even
when it will simply return an error because the channel is disconnected.</p>

<li><a href="fn.after.html"><code>after</code></a> creates a channel that delivers a single message after a certain duration of time.</li>
<li><a href="fn.tick.html"><code>tick</code></a> creates a channel that delivers messages periodically.</li>
<li><a href="fn.never.html"><code>never</code></a> creates a channel that never delivers messages.</li>
</ul>
<p>These channels are very efficient because messages get lazily generated on receive operations.</p>
