A channel is server-wide and shared by everything on it, including programs running in panes. Nothing creates or destroys one: a name either has a signal remembered against it or does not.
tmux's own {@code wait-for} has two traps, and this exists to close both. It exits successfully when the server dies under the waiter, which is indistinguishable from a real signal, so the server is checked afterwards rather than believed. And a signal sent when nobody is waiting is remembered, satisfying the next wait whenever that happens — possibly in a later run of a different program — so {@link #drain()} is how a caller starts from a known state on a channel whose history is not its own. ## Members - `Channel` (method) - `name` (method) — The name this channel is known by on its server. - `signal` (method) — Signals the channel, waking one waiter, or being remembered until something waits. - `await` (method) — Waits for something to signal the channel. - `awaitReservingCapacity` (method) — Waits while preserving process capacity for a call through this server that signals it. - `drain` (method) — Consumes a signal already waiting, so a stale one cannot satisfy a later wait. - `toString` (method)
