(** Data queues similar to the [Pipe] module in Jane Street's [Async]
    library. They are implemented with [Queue]s, limited in size, and
    use lwt primitives for concurrent access. *)

type 'a t
(** Type of queues holding values of type ['a]. *)

val create : ?size:(int * ('a -> int)) -> unit -> 'a t
(** [create ~size:(max_size, compute_size)] is an empty queue that can
    hold max [size] bytes of data, using [compute_size] to compute the
    size of a datum. *)

val push : 'a t -> 'a -> unit Lwt.t
(** [push q v] is a thread that blocks while [q] contains more
    than [size] elements, then adds [v] at the end of [q]. *)

val pop : 'a t -> 'a Lwt.t
(** [pop q] is a thread that blocks while [q] is empty, then
    removes and returns the first element in [q]. *)

val peek : 'a t -> 'a Lwt.t
(** [peek] is like [pop] except it does not removes the first
    element. *)

val values_available : 'a t -> unit Lwt.t
(** [values_available] is like [peek] but it ignores the value
    returned. *)

val push_now : 'a t -> 'a -> bool
(** [push_now q v] adds [v] at the ends of [q] immediately and returns
    [false] if [q] is currently full, [true] otherwise. *)

exception Full

val push_now_exn : 'a t -> 'a -> unit
(** [push_now q v] adds [v] at the ends of [q] immediately or
    raise [Full] if [q] is currently full. *)

val pop_now : 'a t -> 'a option
(** [pop_now q] maybe removes and returns the first element in [q] if
    [q] contains at least one element. *)

exception Empty

val pop_now_exn : 'a t -> 'a
(** [pop_now_exn q] removes and returns the first element in [q] if
    [q] contains at least one element, or raise [Empty] otherwise. *)

val length : 'a t -> int
(** [length q] is the number of elements in [q]. *)

val is_empty : 'a t -> bool
(** [is_empty q] is [true] if [q] is empty, [false] otherwise. *)

val empty : 'a t -> unit Lwt.t
(** [empty q] returns when [q] becomes empty. *)

val iter : 'a t -> f:('a -> unit Lwt.t) -> unit Lwt.t
(** [iter q ~f] pops all elements of [q] and applies [f] on them. *)

exception Closed

val close : 'a t -> unit
(** [close q] the write end of [q]:

    * Future write attempts will fail with [Closed].
    * If there are reads blocked, they will unblock and fail with [Closed].
    * Future read attempts will drain the data until there is no data left.

    Thus, after a pipe has been closed, reads never block.
    Close is idempotent.
