Constructor Summary
	`def` this

Val Summary
	`val` waitingForNone : scala.Function1[Msg, scala.Boolean]

Var Summary
	`var` isSuspended : scala.Boolean
	`var` receiver : scala.actors.Actor
	`var` waitingFor : scala.Function1[Msg, scala.Boolean]
	`var` waitingForSender : scala.actors.Actor

Def Summary
	`def` ! (msg: Msg) : scala.Unit Sends `msg` to this `Channel`.
	`def` !? (msg: Msg) : scala.Any Sends `msg` to this `Channel` and awaits reply.
	`def` ? : Msg
	`def` forward (msg: Msg) : scala.Unit Forwards `msg` to `this` keeping the last sender as sender instead of `self`.
	`def` poll : scala.Option[Msg]
	`def` react (f: scala.PartialFunction[scala.Any, scala.Unit]) : scala.Nothing `receive` for reactors.
	`def` reactWithin (msec: scala.Long)(f: scala.PartialFunction[scala.Any, scala.Unit]) : scala.Nothing `receiveWithin` for reactors.
	`def` receive [R] (f: scala.PartialFunction[Msg, R]) : R Receives a message from this `Channel`.
	`def` receiveFrom [R] (r: scala.actors.Actor)(f: scala.PartialFunction[Msg, R]) : R
	`def` receiveWithin [R] (msec: scala.Long)(f: scala.PartialFunction[scala.Any, R]) : R Receives a message from this `Channel`. If no message could be received before `msec` milliseconds elapsed, the `TIMEOUT` action is executed if specified.

Def Detail

def ! (msg: Msg): scala.Unit

Sends msg to this Channel.

def !? (msg: Msg): scala.Any

Sends msg to this Channel and awaits reply.

def ? : Msg

def forward (msg: Msg): scala.Unit

Forwards msg to this keeping the last sender as sender instead of self.

def poll : scala.Option[Msg]

def react (f: scala.PartialFunction[scala.Any, scala.Unit]): scala.Nothing

receive for reactors.

def reactWithin (msec: scala.Long)(f: scala.PartialFunction[scala.Any, scala.Unit]): scala.Nothing

receiveWithin for reactors.

def receive [R](f: scala.PartialFunction[Msg, R]): R

Receives a message from this Channel.

def receiveFrom [R](r: scala.actors.Actor)(f: scala.PartialFunction[Msg, R]): R

def receiveWithin [R](msec: scala.Long)(f: scala.PartialFunction[scala.Any, R]): R

Receives a message from this Channel. If no message could be received before msec milliseconds elapsed, the TIMEOUT action is executed if specified.
