  * `:codec` - a default codec for this channel
  * `:adapter_payload` - payload the adapter uses

# `t`

```elixir
@type t() :: %GRPC.Channel{
  accepted_compressors: [module()],
  adapter: atom(),
  adapter_payload: any(),
  codec: module(),
  compressor: module(),
  cred: GRPC.Credential.t(),
  headers: list(),
  host: String.t(),
  interceptors: [],
  port: non_neg_integer(),
  ref: reference() | nil,
