Struct Channel 

pub struct Channel { /* private fields */ }

A channel descriptor — holds the key, derived ID, and display name.

Not bound to any node. Create via Channel::named (key derived from name) or Channel::private (key independent of name).

Implementations

impl Channel

pub fn named(name: &str) -> Self

Create a named channel whose key is derived from the name.

Uses the same derivation as the MAC layer’s add_named_channel.

pub fn private(key: ChannelKey, name: &str) -> Self

Create a private channel with an explicit key.

The name is for display only — it does not affect the key.

pub fn name(&self) -> &str

The channel’s display name.

pub fn channel_id(&self) -> &ChannelId

The derived 2-byte channel ID (used for routing/filtering).

pub fn key(&self) -> &ChannelKey

The full symmetric channel key.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Channel

fn clone(&self) -> Channel

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Channel

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for Channel

fn eq(&self, other: &Self) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
