basic.cancel vs channel.close

[Rac Lst]

Hello,

The doc (http://www.rabbitmq.com/amqp-0-9-1-quickref.html) says that basic.cancel will "end a queue consumer". But does channel.close do the same? For example, when I want to end a consumer and no longer need the channel, is there a reason to call basic.cancel followed by channel.close instead of just calling channel.close?

Thanks,

Rac

Well, channel.close does that and more.

No, you can just close the channel, it will take consumers with it.
