+//! A multi-producer, single-consumer queue for sending values across
+//! asynchronous tasks.
+//!
+//! Similar to `std`, channel creation provides [`Receiver`] and [`Sender`]
+//! handles. [`Receiver`] implements `Stream` and allows a task to read values
+//! out of the channel. If there is no message to read, the current task will be
+//! notified when a new value is sent. [`Sender`] implements the `Sink` trait
+//! and allows sending messages into the channel. If the channel is at capacity,
+//! the send is rejected and the task will be notified when additional capacity
+//! is available. In other words, the channel provides backpressure.
+//!
+//! Unbounded channels are also available using the `unbounded_channel`
+//! constructor.
+//!
+//! # Disconnection
+//!
+//! When all [`Sender`] handles have been dropped, it is no longer
+//! possible to send values into the channel. This is considered the termination
+//! event of the stream. As such, `Receiver::poll` returns `Ok(Ready(None))`.
+//!
+//! If the [`Receiver`] handle is dropped, then messages can no longer
+//! be read out of the channel. In this case, all further attempts to send will
+//! result in an error.
+//!
+//! # Clean Shutdown
+//!
+//! When the [`Receiver`] is dropped, it is possible for unprocessed messages to
+//! remain in the channel. Instead, it is usually desirable to perform a "clean"
+//! shutdown. To do this, the receiver first calls `close`, which will prevent
+//! any further messages to be sent into the channel. Then, the receiver
+//! consumes the channel to completion, at which point the receiver can be
+//! dropped.
