Expand description

This trait defines the interface that will be used to send and receive messages over IPC. It is up to the platform to implement this trait and any necessary thread synchronization and broadcasting.

Required Methods§

Source

fn send( &self, message: OutgoingMessage, ) -> impl Future<Output = Result<(), Self::SendError>>

Send a message to the destination specified in the message. This function may be called from any thread at any time. The implementation will handle any necessary synchronization.

Source

fn receive( &self, ) -> impl Future<Output = Result<IncomingMessage, Self::ReceiveError>>

Receive a message. This function will block asynchronously until a message is received. Multiple calls to this function may be made from different threads, in which case all threads will receive the same message.
