# Publishing to a Channel

The streaming client library can provide a method for publishing synchronously. These publish methods block until the ACK is returned by the server. An error or exception is used to indicate a timeout or other error.

```go
err := sc.Publish("foo", []byte("Hello World"))
```

Streaming libraries can also provide a way to publish asynchronously. An ACK callback of some kind is required. The library will publish the message and notify the callback on ACK or timeout. The global id associated with the message being sent is returned from publish so that the application can identify it on callback.

```go
ackHandler := func(ackedNuid string, err error){ ... }

nuid, err := sc.PublishAsync("foo", []byte("Hello World"), ackHandler)
```

Even in this mode, the call will still block if the library has a number of published messages without having received an ACK from the server. The default can be changed when creating the connection.

```go
sc, err := sc.Connect(clusterID, clientName, stan.MaxPubAcksInflight(1000))
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.natsclub.cn/cn/yi-chan/stan/streaming/publishing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
