Everything about Channel (programming)

Model for inter-thread communication and synchronization via message passing

In computing, a channel is a model for inter-thread communication and synchronization via message passing. A message may be sent over a channel, and another process or thread is able to receive messages sent over a channel it has a reference to, as a stream. Different implementations of channels may be buffered or not, and either synchronous or asynchronous. Wikipedia →
