(** A 'dropbox' with a single element. *)
type 'a t
(** Type of dropbox holding a value of type ['a] *)
val create: unit -> 'a t
(** Create an empty dropbox. *)
val put: 'a t -> 'a -> unit
(** Put an element inside the dropbox. If the dropbox was already
containing an element, the old element is replaced by the new one.
The function might return [Closed] if the dropbox has been closed
with [close]. *)
val take: 'a t -> 'a Lwt.t
(** Wait until the dropbox contains an element, then returns the elements.
The elements is removed from the dropbox. The function might return
[Closed] if the dropbox is empty and closed. *)
val take_with_timeout: unit Lwt.t -> 'a t -> 'a option Lwt.t
(** Like [take] except that it returns [None] after [timeout seconds]
if the dropbox is still empty. *)
val peek: 'a t -> 'a option
(** Read the current element of the dropbox without removing it. It
immediatly returns [None] if the dropbox is empty. *)
exception Closed
(** The exception returned when trying to access a 'closed' dropbox. *)
val close: 'a t -> unit
(** Close the dropox. It terminates all the waiting reader with the
exception [Closed]. All further read or write will also immediatly
fail with [Closed], except if the dropbox is not empty when
[close] is called. In that can, a single (and last) [take] will
succeed. *)
