Flow.Subscription

public static interface Flow.Subscription

java.util.concurrent.Flow.Subscription


Message control linking a Publisher and Subscriber. Subscribers receive items only when requested, and may cancel at any time. The methods in this interface are intended to be invoked only by their Subscribers; usages in other contexts have undefined effects.

Summary

Public methods

abstract void cancel()

Causes the Subscriber to (eventually) stop receiving messages.

abstract void request(long n)

Adds the given number n of items to the current unfulfilled demand for this subscription.

Public methods

cancel

public abstract void cancel ()

Causes the Subscriber to (eventually) stop receiving messages. Implementation is best-effort -- additional messages may be received after invoking this method. A cancelled subscription need not ever receive an onComplete or onError signal.

request

public abstract void request (long n)

Adds the given number n of items to the current unfulfilled demand for this subscription. If n is less than or equal to zero, the Subscriber will receive an onError signal with an IllegalArgumentException argument. Otherwise, the Subscriber will receive up to n additional onNext invocations (or fewer if terminated).

Parameters
n long: the increment of demand; a value of Long.MAX_VALUE may be considered as effectively unbounded
