clojure.core.async — cnuernber/depsviz 0.7

Facilities for async programming and communication.

go blocks are dispatched over an internal thread pool, which defaults to 8 threads. The size of this pool can be modified using the Java system property clojure.core.async.pool-size.

<! clj

(<! port)

takes a val from port. Must be called inside a (go ...) block. Will return nil if closed. Will park if nothing is available.

<!! clj

(<!! port)

takes a val from port. Will return nil if closed. Will block if nothing is available.

>! clj

(>! port val)

puts a val into port. nil values are not allowed. Must be called inside a (go ...) block. Will park if no buffer space is available. Returns true unless port is already closed.

>!! clj

(>!! port val)

puts a val into port. nil values are not allowed. Will block if no buffer space is available. Returns true unless port is already closed.

admix clj

(admix mix ch)

Adds ch as an input to the mix

alt! clj macro

(alt! & clauses)

Makes a single choice between one of several channel operations, as if by alts!, returning the value of the result expr corresponding to the operation completed. Must be called inside a (go ...) block.

Each clause takes the form of:

channel-op[s] result-expr

where channel-ops is one of:

take-port - a single port to take [take-port | [put-port put-val] ...] - a vector of ports as per alts! :default | :priority - an option for alts!

and result-expr is either a list beginning with a vector, whereupon that vector will be treated as a binding for the [val port] return of the operation, else any other expression.

(alt! [c t] ([val ch] (foo ch val)) x ([v] v) [[out val]] :wrote :default 42)

Each option may appear at most once. The choice and parking characteristics are those of alts!.

alt!! clj macro

(alt!! & clauses)

Like alt!, except as if by alts!!, will block until completed, and not intended for use in (go ...) blocks.

alts! clj

(alts! ports & {:as opts})

Completes at most one of several channel operations. Must be called inside a (go ...) block. ports is a vector of channel endpoints, which can be either a channel to take from or a vector of [channel-to-put-to val-to-put], in any combination. Takes will be made as if by <!, and puts will be made as if by >!. Unless the :priority option is true, if more than one port operation is ready a non-deterministic choice will be made. If no operation is ready and a :default value is supplied, [default-val :default] will be returned, otherwise alts! will park until the first operation to become ready completes. Returns [val port] of the completed operation, where val is the value taken for takes, and a boolean (true unless already closed, as per put!) for puts.

opts are passed as :key val ... Supported options:

:default val - the value to use if none of the operations are immediately ready :priority true - (default nil) when true, the operations will be tried in order.

Note: there is no guarantee that the port exps or val exprs will be used, nor in what order should they be, so they should not be depended upon for side effects.

alts!! clj

(alts!! ports & {:as opts})

Like alts!, except takes will be made as if by <!!, and puts will be made as if by >!!, will block until completed, and not intended for use in (go ...) blocks.

buffer clj

(buffer n)

Returns a fixed buffer of size n. When full, puts will block/park.

chan clj

(chan)

(chan buf-or-n)

(chan buf-or-n xform)

(chan buf-or-n xform ex-handler)

Creates a channel with an optional buffer, an optional transducer (like (map f), (filter p) etc or a composition thereof), and an optional exception-handler. If buf-or-n is a number, will create and use a fixed buffer of that size. If a transducer is supplied a buffer must be specified. ex-handler must be a fn of one argument - if an exception occurs during transformation it will be called with the Throwable as an argument, and any non-nil return value will be placed in the channel.

close! clj

(close! chan)

Closes a channel. The channel will no longer accept any puts (they will be ignored). Data in the channel remains available for taking, until exhausted, after which takes will return nil. If there are any pending takes, they will be dispatched with nil. Closing a closed channel is a no-op. Returns nil.

Logically closing happens after all puts have been delivered. Therefore, any blocked or parked puts will remain blocked/parked until a taker releases them.

do-alt clj

(do-alt alts clauses)

do-alts clj

(do-alts fret ports opts)

returns derefable [val port] if immediate, nil if enqueued

dropping-buffer clj

(dropping-buffer n)

Returns a buffer of size n. When full, puts will complete but val will be dropped (no transfer).

filter< clj deprecated

(filter< p ch)

(filter< p ch buf-or-n)

Deprecated - this function will be removed. Use transducer instead

filter> clj deprecated

(filter> p ch)

Deprecated - this function will be removed. Use transducer instead

fn-handler clj

(fn-handler f)

(fn-handler f blockable)

go clj macro

(go & body)

Asynchronously executes the body, returning immediately to the calling thread. Additionally, any visible calls to <!, >! and alt!/alts! channel operations within the body will block (if necessary) by 'parking' the calling thread rather than tying up an OS thread (or the only JS thread when in ClojureScript). Upon completion of the operation, the body will be resumed.

Returns a channel which will receive the result of the body when completed

go-loop clj macro

(go-loop bindings & body)

Like (go (loop ...))

into clj

(into coll ch)

Returns a channel containing the single (collection) result of the items taken from the channel conjoined to the supplied collection. ch must close before into produces a result.

ioc-alts! clj

(ioc-alts! state cont-block ports & {:as opts})

map clj

(map f chs)

(map f chs buf-or-n)

Takes a function and a collection of source channels, and returns a channel which contains the values produced by applying f to the set of first items taken from each source channel, followed by applying f to the set of second items from each channel, until any one of the channels is closed, at which point the output channel will be closed. The returned channel will be unbuffered by default, or a buf-or-n can be supplied

map< clj deprecated

(map< f ch)

Deprecated - this function will be removed. Use transducer instead

map> clj deprecated

(map> f ch)

Deprecated - this function will be removed. Use transducer instead

mapcat< clj deprecated

(mapcat< f in)

(mapcat< f in buf-or-n)

Deprecated - this function will be removed. Use transducer instead

mapcat> clj deprecated

(mapcat> f out)

(mapcat> f out buf-or-n)

Deprecated - this function will be removed. Use transducer instead

merge clj

(merge chs)

(merge chs buf-or-n)

Takes a collection of source channels and returns a channel which contains all values taken from them. The returned channel will be unbuffered by default, or a buf-or-n can be supplied. The channel will close after all the source channels have closed.

Mix clj protocol

admix* clj

(admix* m ch)

solo-mode* clj

(solo-mode* m mode)

toggle* clj

(toggle* m state-map)

unmix* clj

(unmix* m ch)

unmix-all* clj

(unmix-all* m)

mix clj

(mix out)

Creates and returns a mix of one or more input channels which will be put on the supplied out channel. Input sources can be added to the mix with 'admix', and removed with 'unmix'. A mix supports soloing, muting and pausing multiple inputs atomically using 'toggle', and can solo using either muting or pausing as determined by 'solo-mode'.

Each channel can have zero or more boolean modes set via 'toggle':

:solo - when true, only this (ond other soloed) channel(s) will appear in the mix output channel. :mute and :pause states of soloed channels are ignored. If solo-mode is :mute, non-soloed channels are muted, if :pause, non-soloed channels are paused.

:mute - muted channels will have their contents consumed but not included in the mix :pause - paused channels will not have their contents consumed (and thus also not included in the mix)

Mult clj protocol

tap* clj

(tap* m ch close?)

untap* clj

(untap* m ch)

untap-all* clj

(untap-all* m)

mult clj

(mult ch)

Creates and returns a mult(iple) of the supplied channel. Channels containing copies of the channel can be created with 'tap', and detached with 'untap'.

Each item is distributed to all taps in parallel and synchronously, i.e. each tap must accept before the next item is distributed. Use buffering/windowing to prevent slow taps from holding up the mult.

Items received when there are no taps get dropped.

If a tap puts to a closed channel, it will be removed from the mult.

Mux clj protocol

muxch* clj

(muxch* _)

offer! clj

(offer! port val)

Puts a val into port if it's possible to do so immediately. nil values are not allowed. Never blocks. Returns true if offer succeeds.

onto-chan clj

(onto-chan ch coll)

(onto-chan ch coll close?)

Puts the contents of coll into the supplied channel.

By default the channel will be closed after the items are copied, but can be determined by the close? parameter.

Returns a channel which will close after the items are copied.

partition clj deprecated

(partition n ch)

(partition n ch buf-or-n)

Deprecated - this function will be removed. Use transducer instead

partition-by clj deprecated

(partition-by f ch)

(partition-by f ch buf-or-n)

Deprecated - this function will be removed. Use transducer instead

pipe clj

(pipe from to)

(pipe from to close?)

Takes elements from the from channel and supplies them to the to channel. By default, the to channel will be closed when the from channel closes, but can be determined by the close? parameter. Will stop consuming the from channel if the to channel closes

pipeline clj

(pipeline n to xf from)

(pipeline n to xf from close?)

(pipeline n to xf from close? ex-handler)

Takes elements from the from channel and supplies them to the to channel, subject to the transducer xf, with parallelism n. Because it is parallel, the transducer will be applied independently to each element, not across elements, and may produce zero or more outputs per input. Outputs will be returned in order relative to the inputs. By default, the to channel will be closed when the from channel closes, but can be determined by the close? parameter. Will stop consuming the from channel if the to channel closes. Note this should be used for computational parallelism. If you have multiple blocking operations to put in flight, use pipeline-blocking instead, If you have multiple asynchronous operations to put in flight, use pipeline-async instead.

pipeline-async clj

(pipeline-async n to af from)

(pipeline-async n to af from close?)

Takes elements from the from channel and supplies them to the to channel, subject to the async function af, with parallelism n. af must be a function of two arguments, the first an input value and the second a channel on which to place the result(s). af must close! the channel before returning. The presumption is that af will return immediately, having launched some asynchronous operation (i.e. in another thread) whose completion/callback will manipulate the result channel. Outputs will be returned in order relative to the inputs. By default, the to channel will be closed when the from channel closes, but can be determined by the close? parameter. Will stop consuming the from channel if the to channel closes. See also pipeline, pipeline-blocking.

pipeline-blocking clj

(pipeline-blocking n to xf from)

(pipeline-blocking n to xf from close?)

(pipeline-blocking n to xf from close? ex-handler)

Like pipeline, for blocking operations.

poll! clj

(poll! port)

Takes a val from port if it's possible to do so immediately. Never blocks. Returns value if successful, nil otherwise.

promise-chan clj

(promise-chan)

(promise-chan xform)

(promise-chan xform ex-handler)

Creates a promise channel with an optional transducer, and an optional exception-handler. A promise channel can take exactly one value that consumers will receive. Once full, puts complete but val is dropped (no transfer). Consumers will block until either a value is placed in the channel or the channel is closed. See chan for the semantics of xform and ex-handler.

Pub clj protocol

sub* clj

(sub* p v ch close?)

unsub* clj

(unsub* p v ch)

unsub-all* clj

(unsub-all* p)

(unsub-all* p v)

pub clj

(pub ch topic-fn)

(pub ch topic-fn buf-fn)

Creates and returns a pub(lication) of the supplied channel, partitioned into topics by the topic-fn. topic-fn will be applied to each value on the channel and the result will determine the 'topic' on which that value will be put. Channels can be subscribed to receive copies of topics using 'sub', and unsubscribed using 'unsub'. Each topic will be handled by an internal mult on a dedicated channel. By default these internal channels are unbuffered, but a buf-fn can be supplied which, given a topic, creates a buffer with desired properties.

Each item is distributed to all subs in parallel and synchronously, i.e. each sub must accept before the next item is distributed. Use buffering/windowing to prevent slow subs from holding up the pub.

Items received when there are no matching subs get dropped.

Note that if buf-fns are used then each topic is handled asynchronously, i.e. if a channel is subscribed to more than one topic it should not expect them to be interleaved identically with the source.

put! clj

(put! port val)

(put! port val fn1)

(put! port val fn1 on-caller?)

Asynchronously puts a val into port, calling fn1 (if supplied) when complete, passing false iff port is already closed. nil values are not allowed. If on-caller? (default true) is true, and the put is immediately accepted, will call fn1 on calling thread. Returns true unless port is already closed.

reduce clj

(reduce f init ch)

f should be a function of 2 arguments. Returns a channel containing the single result of applying f to init and the first item from the channel, then applying f to that result and the 2nd item, etc. If the channel closes without yielding items, returns init and f is not called. ch must close before reduce produces a result.

remove< clj deprecated

(remove< p ch)

(remove< p ch buf-or-n)

Deprecated - this function will be removed. Use transducer instead

remove> clj deprecated

(remove> p ch)

Deprecated - this function will be removed. Use transducer instead

sliding-buffer clj

(sliding-buffer n)

Returns a buffer of size n. When full, puts will complete, and be buffered, but oldest elements in buffer will be dropped (not transferred).

solo-mode clj

(solo-mode mix mode)

Sets the solo mode of the mix. mode must be one of :mute or :pause

split clj

(split p ch)

(split p ch t-buf-or-n f-buf-or-n)

Takes a predicate and a source channel and returns a vector of two channels, the first of which will contain the values for which the predicate returned true, the second those for which it returned false.

The out channels will be unbuffered by default, or two buf-or-ns can be supplied. The channels will close after the source channel has closed.

sub clj

(sub p topic ch)

(sub p topic ch close?)

Subscribes a channel to a topic of a pub.

By default the channel will be closed when the source closes, but can be determined by the close? parameter.

take clj

(take n ch)

(take n ch buf-or-n)

Returns a channel that will return, at most, n items from ch. After n items have been returned, or ch has been closed, the return channel will close.

The output channel is unbuffered by default, unless buf-or-n is given.

take! clj

(take! port fn1)

(take! port fn1 on-caller?)

Asynchronously takes a val from port, passing to fn1. Will pass nil if closed. If on-caller? (default true) is true, and value is immediately available, will call fn1 on calling thread. Returns nil.

tap clj

(tap mult ch)

(tap mult ch close?)

Copies the mult source onto the supplied channel.

By default the channel will be closed when the source closes, but can be determined by the close? parameter.

thread clj macro

(thread & body)

Executes the body in another thread, returning immediately to the calling thread. Returns a channel which will receive the result of the body when completed, then close.

thread-call clj

(thread-call f)

Executes f in another thread, returning immediately to the calling thread. Returns a channel which will receive the result of calling f when completed, then close.

timeout clj

(timeout msecs)

Returns a channel that will close after msecs

to-chan clj

(to-chan coll)

Creates and returns a channel which contains the contents of coll, closing when exhausted.

toggle clj

(toggle mix state-map)

Atomically sets the state(s) of one or more channels in a mix. The state map is a map of channels -> channel-state-map. A channel-state-map is a map of attrs -> boolean, where attr is one or more of :mute, :pause or :solo. Any states supplied are merged with the current state.

Note that channels can be added to a mix via toggle, which can be used to add channels in a particular (e.g. paused) state.

transduce clj

(transduce xform f init ch)

async/reduces a channel with a transformation (xform f). Returns a channel containing the result. ch must close before transduce produces a result.

unblocking-buffer? clj

(unblocking-buffer? buff)

Returns true if a channel created with buff will never block. That is to say, puts into this buffer will never cause the buffer to be full.

unique clj deprecated

(unique ch)

(unique ch buf-or-n)

Deprecated - this function will be removed. Use transducer instead

unmix clj

(unmix mix ch)

Removes ch as an input to the mix

unmix-all clj

(unmix-all mix)

removes all inputs from the mix

unsub clj

(unsub p topic ch)

Unsubscribes a channel from a topic of a pub

unsub-all clj

(unsub-all p)

(unsub-all p topic)

Unsubscribes all channels from a pub, or a topic of a pub

untap clj

(untap mult ch)

Disconnects a target channel from a mult

untap-all clj

(untap-all mult)

Disconnects all target channels from a mult
