 # Communication over channels.
 
-Channels can be used to communicate data between running *software* tasks. The channel is essentially a wait queue, allowing tasks with multiple producers and a single receiver. A channel is constructed in the `init` task and backed by statically allocated memory. Send and receive endpoints are distributed to *software* tasks:

 ## Try API
 
-In cases you wish the sender to proceed even in case the channel is full. To that end, a `try_send` API is provided.
+Using the Try API, you can send or receive data from or to a channel without requiring that the operation succeeds, and in non-`async` contexts.
+
+This API is exposed through `Receiver::try_recv` and `Sender::try_send`.
