|
| Synopsis |
|
|
|
|
| TChans
|
|
| data TChan a |
| TChan is an abstract type representing an unbounded FIFO channel.
|
|
|
| newTChan :: STM (TChan a) |
| Build and returns a new instance of TChan
|
|
| newTChanIO :: IO (TChan a) |
| IO version of newTChan. This is useful for creating top-level
TChans using unsafePerformIO, because using
atomically inside unsafePerformIO isn't
possible.
|
|
| readTChan :: TChan a -> STM a |
| Read the next value from the TChan.
|
|
| writeTChan :: TChan a -> a -> STM () |
| Write a value to a TChan.
|
|
| dupTChan :: TChan a -> STM (TChan a) |
| Duplicate a TChan: the duplicate channel begins empty, but data written to
either channel from then on will be available from both. Hence this creates
a kind of broadcast channel, where data written by anyone is seen by
everyone else.
|
|
| unGetTChan :: TChan a -> a -> STM () |
| Put a data item back onto a channel, where it will be the next item read.
|
|
| isEmptyTChan :: TChan a -> STM Bool |
| Returns True if the supplied TChan is empty.
