:help channel
fails for me with E149: Sorry, no help for channel
(NVIM v0.2.0, installed through Homebrew).

Sorry for causing confusion. If you’re running Vim 8, you can look up the documentation on job control by running :help channel
. If you’re running Neovim, the equivalent page in the documentation can be located using :help job-control
.
Both Vim 8 and Neovim have similar async capabilities, but sadly their APIs differ The good news is that minpac works in both Vim 8 and Neovim (thanks in part to the async.vim library, which normalizes the job control APIs).
