Struct tokio::sync::mpsc::UnboundedSender

pub struct UnboundedSender<T> { /* fields omitted */ }

Send values to the associated UnboundedReceiver.

Instances are created by the unbounded_channel function.

Implementations

impl<T> UnboundedSender<T>

pub fn send(&self, message: T) -> Result<(), SendError<T>>

Attempts to send a message on this UnboundedSender without blocking.

This method is not marked async because sending a message to an unbounded channel never requires any form of waiting. Because of this, the send method can be used in both synchronous and asynchronous code without problems.

If the receive half of the channel is closed, either due to close being called or the UnboundedReceiver having been dropped, this function returns an error. The error includes the value passed to send.

pub async fn closed(&self)

Completes when the receiver has dropped.

This allows the producers to get notified when interest in the produced values is canceled and immediately stop doing work.

Cancel safety

This method is cancel safe. Once the channel is closed, it stays closed forever and all future calls to closed will return immediately.

Examples

use tokio::sync::mpsc;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (tx1, rx) = mpsc::unbounded_channel::<()>();
    let tx2 = tx1.clone();
    let tx3 = tx1.clone();
    let tx4 = tx1.clone();
    let tx5 = tx1.clone();
    tokio::spawn(async move {
        drop(rx);
    });

    futures::join!(
        tx1.closed(),
        tx2.closed(),
        tx3.closed(),
        tx4.closed(),
        tx5.closed()
    );
}

pub fn is_closed(&self) -> bool

Checks if the channel has been closed. This happens when the UnboundedReceiver is dropped, or when the UnboundedReceiver::close method is called.

let (tx, rx) = tokio::sync::mpsc::unbounded_channel::<()>();
assert!(!tx.is_closed());

let tx2 = tx.clone();
assert!(!tx2.is_closed());

drop(rx);
assert!(tx.is_closed());
assert!(tx2.is_closed());

pub fn same_channel(&self, other: &Self) -> bool

Returns true if senders belong to the same channel.

Examples

let (tx, rx) = tokio::sync::mpsc::unbounded_channel::<()>();
let  tx2 = tx.clone();
assert!(tx.same_channel(&tx2));

let (tx3, rx3) = tokio::sync::mpsc::unbounded_channel::<()>();
assert!(!tx3.same_channel(&tx2));
