 # uni-channel
 
-Encapsulating async-channel, port-channel and place-channel. 
\ No newline at end of file
+`uni-channel` provides a uniform facade over `async-channel`, `place-channel` and `port-channel`.
+
+The package does not vendor `port-channel`; install `port-channel` from the Racket package index first.
+
+```sh
+raco pkg install --auto port-channel
+raco pkg install --auto ./uni-channel
+raco test -x -p uni-channel
+raco setup --pkgs uni-channel
+```
+
+Main API:
+
+```racket
+make-uni-channel
+make-uni-async-channel
+make-uni-async-channel-pair
+make-uni-place-channel
+make-uni-place-channel-pair
+make-uni-port-channel

+@defmodule[uni-channel]
+
+The @racketmodname[uni-channel] module provides a small uniform facade over
+three channel-like transports: @racketmodname[racket/async-channel]
+asynchronous channels, @racketmodname[racket/place] place channels, and
+@racketmodname[port-channel] port channels.
+
+The purpose is not to hide transport semantics completely. A place channel still
+uses place-channel message constraints and a port channel still serializes values
+with @racketmodname[racket/serialize]. The purpose is to make code that only
+needs send, receive, event synchronization and close operations independent from
+the concrete channel implementation.
+
+@section{Model}
+
+A uni-channel has a kind, a direction, a name and an underlying backend
+object. The kind is one of @racket['async], @racket['place] or @racket['port].
+The direction is one of @racket['input], @racket['output] or
+@racket['bidirectional]. Receiving is supported for input and bidirectional
+channels. Sending is supported for output and bidirectional channels.
+
+A uni-channel that supports receiving is itself a synchronizable event:
+
+@racketblock[(sync ch)]
+
+For output-only channels, synchronizing on the uni-channel uses
+@racket[never-evt].

+Wraps an existing backend channel. With @racket['auto], the kind is inferred from

+
+For a @racket[port-channel?] backend, the direction is read from
+@racket[port-channel-direction]. A single port-channel endpoint is therefore
+input-only or output-only. Use @racket[make-uni-port-channel] when one uni

+Creates two bidirectional uni-channel endpoints backed by two asynchronous channels.
+A value sent on the first endpoint is received on the second endpoint, and the

+         uni-channel?]{
+Creates a uni-channel backed by one or two @racketmodname[port-channel]
+endpoints. At least one of @racket[#:input] or @racket[#:output] must be
+provided. With both, the result is bidirectional: receives come from the input
+port-channel and sends go to the output port-channel.}
+
+@section{Predicates and accessors}
+
+@defproc[(uni-channel? [v any/c]) boolean?]{Returns true when @racket[v] is a uni-channel.}
+@defproc[(uni-channel-kind [ch uni-channel?]) (or/c 'async 'place 'port)]{Returns the backend kind.}
+@defproc[(uni-channel-direction [ch uni-channel?]) (or/c 'input 'output 'bidirectional)]{Returns the channel direction.}
+@defproc[(uni-channel-name [ch uni-channel?]) any/c]{Returns the diagnostic name supplied when the uni-channel was created.}
+@defproc[(uni-channel-impl [ch uni-channel?]) any/c]{Returns the underlying backend object.}
+
+@section{Sending and receiving}
+
+@defproc[(uni-channel-put [ch uni-channel?] [v any/c]) void?]{
+Sends @racket[v] on @racket[ch]. The channel must be output-capable. For
+@racket['port] channels, the value must be serializable by @racket[serialize].
+For @racket['place] channels, the value must be allowed as a place message.}
+
+@defproc[(uni-channel-send [ch uni-channel?] [v any/c]) void?]{Alias for @racket[uni-channel-put].}
+@defproc[(uni-channel-get [ch uni-channel?]) any/c]{Receives the next value from @racket[ch].}
+@defproc[(uni-channel-recv [ch uni-channel?]) any/c]{Alias for @racket[uni-channel-get].}
+@defproc[(uni-channel-try-get [ch uni-channel?]) any/c]{Attempts to receive a value without blocking. Returns @racket[#f] when no value is currently available.}
+@defproc[(uni-channel-get-evt [ch uni-channel?]) evt?]{Returns a synchronizable receive event.}
+@defproc[(uni-channel-put-evt [ch uni-channel?] [v any/c]) evt?]{Returns an event that sends @racket[v] when selected.}
+
+@section{Closing}
+
+@defproc[(uni-channel-close [ch uni-channel?]) void?]{
+Closes @racket[ch]. For async-channel and place-channel backends this marks the
+uni-channel wrapper as closed; Racket does not provide a native close operation for
+those channel types. For port-channel backends this delegates to
+@racket[close-port-channel]. For a bidirectional port channel only the output
+side is closed, so already queued values can still be received from the input
+side until end-of-file.}
+
+@defproc[(uni-channel-closed? [ch uni-channel?]) boolean?]{Returns true when @racket[uni-channel-close] has been called on the wrapper.}
+
+@section{Port-channel errors}
+
+@defproc[(uni-channel-error-get [ch uni-channel?]) any/c]{Blocks until a backend error is available. This is meaningful for @racket['port] channels and raises an exception for backends that do not have an error channel.}
+@defproc[(uni-channel-error-try-get [ch uni-channel?]) any/c]{Attempts to get a backend error without blocking. Returns @racket[#f] when no error is available.}
+@defproc[(uni-channel-error-evt [ch uni-channel?]) evt?]{Returns a synchronizable backend-error event. For non-port backends this is @racket[never-evt].}
