# port-channel `port-channel` wraps a Racket input or output port as an asynchronous channel-like object. Input port-channels run a reader thread that reads serialized Racket values from the port, deserializes complete values and publishes them on an internal async channel. The `port-channel` itself is a synchronizable event, so `(sync pc)` returns the next complete value. Output port-channels expose `port-channel-put`, which queues a value immediately. A writer thread serializes and flushes queued values to the underlying output port. Values are encoded with `racket/serialize`. Custom structs must be declared with `serializable-struct`.
