/// Ports are how code running on the Erlang virtual machine interacts with

/// the outside world. Bytes of data can be sent to and read from ports,

/// providing a form of message passing to an external program or resource.

///

/// For more information on ports see the [Erlang ports documentation][1].

/// [1]: https://erlang.org/doc/reference_manual/ports.html

pub type Port



/// Checks to see whether a `Dynamic` value is a port, and return the port if

/// it is.

///

/// ## Examples

///

///    > import gleam/dynamic

///    > from_dynamic(dynamic.from(process.self()))

///    Ok(process.self())

///

///    > from_dynamic(dynamic.from(123))

///    Error([DecodeError(expected: "Port", found: "Int", path: [])])
