#![cfg_attr(not(feature = "sync"), allow(dead_code, unreachable_pub))]

//! A single-producer, multi-consumer channel that only retains the *last* sent
//! value.
//!
//! This channel is useful for watching for changes to a value from multiple
//! points in the code base, for example, changes to configuration values.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! [`channel`] returns a [`Sender`] / [`Receiver`] pair. These are the producer
//! and sender halves of the channel. The channel is created with an initial
//! value. The **latest** value stored in the channel is accessed with
//! [`Receiver::borrow()`]. Awaiting [`Receiver::changed()`] waits for a new
//! value to sent by the [`Sender`] half.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```
//! use tokio::sync::watch;
//!
//! # async fn dox() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//!     let (tx, mut rx) = watch::channel("hello");
//!
//!     tokio::spawn(async move {
//!         while rx.changed().await.is_ok() {
//!             println!("received = {:?}", *rx.borrow());
//!         }
//!     });
//!
//!     tx.send("world")?;
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! # Closing
//!
//! [`Sender::is_closed`] and [`Sender::closed`] allow the producer to detect
//! when all [`Receiver`] handles have been dropped. This indicates that there
//! is no further interest in the values being produced and work can be stopped.
//!
//! # Thread safety
//!
//! Both [`Sender`] and [`Receiver`] are thread safe. They can be moved to other
//! threads and can be used in a concurrent environment. Clones of [`Receiver`]
//! handles may be moved to separate threads and also used concurrently.
//!
