Subscription
interface Subscription
| java.util.concurrent.Flow.Subscription |

Public methods
cancel
abstract fun cancel(): Unit
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
abstract fun request(n: Long): Unit
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).

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