Overview ¶
Package net provides a portable interface for network I/O, including TCP/IP, UDP, domain name resolution, and Unix domain sockets.
Although the package provides access to low-level networking primitives, most clients will need only the basic interface provided by the Dial, Listen, and Accept functions and the associated Conn and Listener interfaces. The crypto/tls package uses the same interfaces and similar Dial and Listen functions.
The Dial function connects to a server:
conn, err := net.Dial("tcp", "google.com:80") if err != nil { // handle error } fmt.Fprintf(conn, "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n") status, err := bufio.NewReader(conn).ReadString('\n') // ...
The Listen function creates servers:
ln, err := net.Listen("tcp", ":8080") if err != nil { // handle error } for { conn, err := ln.Accept() if err != nil { // handle error } go handleConnection(conn) }
Name Resolution ¶
The method for resolving domain names, whether indirectly with functions like Dial or directly with functions like LookupHost and LookupAddr, varies by operating system.
On Unix systems, the resolver has two options for resolving names. It can use a pure Go resolver that sends DNS requests directly to the servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf, or it can use a cgo-based resolver that calls C library routines such as getaddrinfo and getnameinfo.
By default the pure Go resolver is used, because a blocked DNS request consumes only a goroutine, while a blocked C call consumes an operating system thread. When cgo is available, the cgo-based resolver is used instead under a variety of conditions: on systems that do not let programs make direct DNS requests (OS X), when the LOCALDOMAIN environment variable is present (even if empty), when the RES_OPTIONS or HOSTALIASES environment variable is non-empty, when the ASR_CONFIG environment variable is non-empty (OpenBSD only), when /etc/resolv.conf or /etc/nsswitch.conf specify the use of features that the Go resolver does not implement, and when the name being looked up ends in .local or is an mDNS name.
The resolver decision can be overridden by setting the netdns value of the GODEBUG environment variable (see package runtime) to go or cgo, as in:
export GODEBUG=netdns=go # force pure Go resolver export GODEBUG=netdns=cgo # force cgo resolver
The decision can also be forced while building the Go source tree by setting the netgo or netcgo build tag.
A numeric netdns setting, as in GODEBUG=netdns=1, causes the resolver to print debugging information about its decisions. To force a particular resolver while also printing debugging information, join the two settings by a plus sign, as in GODEBUG=netdns=go+1.
On Plan 9, the resolver always accesses /net/cs and /net/dns.
On Windows, the resolver always uses C library functions, such as GetAddrInfo and DnsQuery.

Functions ¶
func JoinHostPort ¶
JoinHostPort combines host and port into a network address of the form "host:port" or, if host contains a colon or a percent sign, "[host]:port".
func LookupAddr ¶
LookupAddr performs a reverse lookup for the given address, returning a list of names mapping to that address.
func LookupCNAME ¶
LookupCNAME returns the canonical DNS host for the given name. Callers that do not care about the canonical name can call LookupHost or LookupIP directly; both take care of resolving the canonical name as part of the lookup.
func LookupHost ¶
LookupHost looks up the given host using the local resolver. It returns an array of that host's addresses.
func LookupPort ¶
LookupPort looks up the port for the given network and service.
func ParseCIDR ¶
ParseCIDR parses s as a CIDR notation IP address and mask, like "192.168.100.1/24" or "2001:DB8::/48", as defined in RFC 4632 and RFC 4291.
It returns the IP address and the network implied by the IP and mask. For example, ParseCIDR("192.168.100.1/16") returns the IP address 192.168.100.1 and the network 192.168.0.0/16.
func Pipe ¶
Pipe creates a synchronous, in-memory, full duplex network connection; both ends implement the Conn interface. Reads on one end are matched with writes on the other, copying data directly between the two; there is no internal buffering.
func SplitHostPort ¶
SplitHostPort splits a network address of the form "host:port", "[host]:port" or "[ipv6-host%zone]:port" into host or ipv6-host%zone and port. A literal address or host name for IPv6 must be enclosed in square brackets, as in "[::1]:80", "[ipv6-host]:http" or "[ipv6-host%zone]:80".
Types ¶
type Addr ¶
type Addr interface { Network() string // name of the network String() string // string form of address }
Addr represents a network end point address.
func InterfaceAddrs ¶
InterfaceAddrs returns a list of the system's network interface addresses.
type Conn ¶
type Conn interface { // Read reads data from the connection. // Read can be made to time out and return a Error with Timeout() == true // after a fixed time limit; see SetDeadline and SetReadDeadline. Read(b []byte) (n int, err error) // Write writes data to the connection. // Write can be made to time out and return a Error with Timeout() == true // after a fixed time limit; see SetDeadline and SetWriteDeadline. Write(b []byte) (n int, err error) // Close closes the connection. // Any blocked Read or Write operations will be unblocked and return errors. Close() error // LocalAddr returns the local network address. LocalAddr() Addr // RemoteAddr returns the remote network address. RemoteAddr() Addr // SetDeadline sets the read and write deadlines associated // with the connection. It is equivalent to calling both // SetReadDeadline and SetWriteDeadline. // // A deadline is an absolute time after which I/O operations // fail with a timeout (see type Error) instead of // blocking. The deadline applies to all future I/O, not just // the immediately following call to Read or Write. // // An idle timeout can be implemented by repeatedly extending // the deadline after successful Read or Write calls. // // A zero value for t means I/O operations will not time out. SetDeadline(t time.Time) error // SetReadDeadline sets the deadline for future Read calls. // A zero value for t means Read will not time out. SetReadDeadline(t time.Time) error // SetWriteDeadline sets the deadline for future Write calls. // Even if write times out, it may return n > 0, indicating that // some of the data was successfully written. // A zero value for t means Write will not time out. SetWriteDeadline(t time.Time) error }
Conn is a generic stream-oriented network connection.
Multiple goroutines may invoke methods on a Conn simultaneously.
func Dial ¶
Dial connects to the address on the named network.
Known networks are "tcp", "tcp4" (IPv4-only), "tcp6" (IPv6-only), "udp", "udp4" (IPv4-only), "udp6" (IPv6-only), "ip", "ip4" (IPv4-only), "ip6" (IPv6-only), "unix", "unixgram" and "unixpacket".
For TCP and UDP networks, addresses have the form host:port. If host is a literal IPv6 address it must be enclosed in square brackets as in "[::1]:80" or "[ipv6-host%zone]:80". The functions JoinHostPort and SplitHostPort manipulate addresses in this form. If the host is empty, as in ":80", the local system is assumed.
Examples:
Dial("tcp", "12.34.56.78:80") Dial("tcp", "google.com:http") Dial("tcp", "[2001:db8::1]:http") Dial("tcp", "[fe80::1%lo0]:80") Dial("tcp", ":80")
For IP networks, the network must be "ip", "ip4" or "ip6" followed by a colon and a protocol number or name and the addr must be a literal IP address.
Examples:
Dial("ip4:1", "127.0.0.1") Dial("ip6:ospf", "::1")
For Unix networks, the address must be a file system path.
func DialTimeout ¶
DialTimeout acts like Dial but takes a timeout. The timeout includes name resolution, if required.
type DNSConfigError ¶
type DNSConfigError struct {
Err error
}
DNSConfigError represents an error reading the machine's DNS configuration. (No longer used; kept for compatibility.)
func (*DNSConfigError) Error ¶
func (e *DNSConfigError) Error() string
func (*DNSConfigError) Temporary ¶
func (e *DNSConfigError) Temporary() bool
func (*DNSConfigError) Timeout ¶
func (e *DNSConfigError) Timeout() bool
type DNSError ¶
type DNSError struct { Err string // description of the error Name string // name looked for Server string // server used IsTimeout bool // if true, timed out; not all timeouts set this IsTemporary bool // if true, error is temporary; not all errors set this }
DNSError represents a DNS lookup error.
type Dialer ¶
type Dialer struct { // Timeout is the maximum amount of time a dial will wait for // a connect to complete. If Deadline is also set, it may fail // earlier. // // The default is no timeout. // // When dialing a name with multiple IP addresses, the timeout // may be divided between them. // // With or without a timeout, the operating system may impose // its own earlier timeout. For instance, TCP timeouts are // often around 3 minutes. Timeout time.Duration // Deadline is the absolute point in time after which dials // will fail. If Timeout is set, it may fail earlier. // Zero means no deadline, or dependent on the operating system // as with the Timeout option. Deadline time.Time // LocalAddr is the local address to use when dialing an // address. The address must be of a compatible type for the // network being dialed. // If nil, a local address is automatically chosen. LocalAddr Addr // DualStack enables RFC 6555-compliant "Happy Eyeballs" dialing // when the network is "tcp" and the destination is a host name // with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. This allows a client to // tolerate networks where one address family is silently broken. DualStack bool // FallbackDelay specifies the length of time to wait before // spawning a fallback connection, when DualStack is enabled. // If zero, a default delay of 300ms is used. FallbackDelay time.Duration // KeepAlive specifies the keep-alive period for an active // network connection. // If zero, keep-alives are not enabled. Network protocols // that do not support keep-alives ignore this field. KeepAlive time.Duration // Cancel is an optional channel whose closure indicates that // the dial should be canceled. Not all types of dials support // cancelation. Cancel <-chan struct{} }
A Dialer contains options for connecting to an address.
The zero value for each field is equivalent to dialing without that option. Dialing with the zero value of Dialer is therefore equivalent to just calling the Dial function.
type Error ¶
type Error interface { error Timeout() bool // Is the error a timeout? Temporary() bool // Is the error temporary? }
An Error represents a network error.
type HardwareAddr ¶
type HardwareAddr []byte
A HardwareAddr represents a physical hardware address.
func ParseMAC ¶
func ParseMAC(s string) (hw HardwareAddr, err error)
ParseMAC parses s as an IEEE 802 MAC-48, EUI-48, EUI-64, or a 20-octet IP over InfiniBand link-layer address using one of the following formats:
01:23:45:67:89:ab 01:23:45:67:89:ab:cd:ef 01:23:45:67:89:ab:cd:ef:00:00:01:23:45:67:89:ab:cd:ef:00:00 01-23-45-67-89-ab 01-23-45-67-89-ab-cd-ef 01-23-45-67-89-ab-cd-ef-00-00-01-23-45-67-89-ab-cd-ef-00-00 0123.4567.89ab 0123.4567.89ab.cdef 0123.4567.89ab.cdef.0000.0123.4567.89ab.cdef.0000
func (HardwareAddr) String ¶
func (a HardwareAddr) String() string
type IP ¶
type IP []byte
An IP is a single IP address, a slice of bytes. Functions in this package accept either 4-byte (IPv4) or 16-byte (IPv6) slices as input.
Note that in this documentation, referring to an IP address as an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address is a semantic property of the address, not just the length of the byte slice: a 16-byte slice can still be an IPv4 address.
func LookupIP ¶
LookupIP looks up host using the local resolver. It returns an array of that host's IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
func ParseIP ¶
ParseIP parses s as an IP address, returning the result. The string s can be in dotted decimal ("74.125.19.99") or IPv6 ("2001:4860:0:2001::68") form. If s is not a valid textual representation of an IP address, ParseIP returns nil.
func (IP) DefaultMask ¶
DefaultMask returns the default IP mask for the IP address ip. Only IPv4 addresses have default masks; DefaultMask returns nil if ip is not a valid IPv4 address.
func (IP) Equal ¶
Equal reports whether ip and x are the same IP address. An IPv4 address and that same address in IPv6 form are considered to be equal.
func (IP) IsGlobalUnicast ¶
IsGlobalUnicast reports whether ip is a global unicast address.
func (IP) IsInterfaceLocalMulticast ¶
IsInterfaceLocalMulticast reports whether ip is an interface-local multicast address.
func (IP) IsLinkLocalMulticast ¶

MarshalText implements the encoding.TextMarshaler interface. The encoding is the same as returned by String.
func (IP) String ¶
String returns the string form of the IP address ip. If the address is an IPv4 address, the string representation is dotted decimal ("74.125.19.99"). Otherwise the representation is IPv6 ("2001:4860:0:2001::68").
func (IP) To16 ¶
To16 converts the IP address ip to a 16-byte representation. If ip is not an IP address (it is the wrong length), To16 returns nil.
func (IP) To4 ¶
To4 converts the IPv4 address ip to a 4-byte representation. If ip is not an IPv4 address, To4 returns nil.
func (*IP) UnmarshalText ¶
UnmarshalText implements the encoding.TextUnmarshaler interface. The IP address is expected in a form accepted by ParseIP.
type IPAddr ¶
IPAddr represents the address of an IP end point.
func ResolveIPAddr ¶
ResolveIPAddr parses addr as an IP address of the form "host" or "ipv6-host%zone" and resolves the domain name on the network net, which must be "ip", "ip4" or "ip6".
type IPConn ¶
type IPConn struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
IPConn is the implementation of the Conn and PacketConn interfaces for IP network connections.
func DialIP ¶
DialIP connects to the remote address raddr on the network protocol netProto, which must be "ip", "ip4", or "ip6" followed by a colon and a protocol number or name.
func ListenIP ¶
ListenIP listens for incoming IP packets addressed to the local address laddr. The returned connection's ReadFrom and WriteTo methods can be used to receive and send IP packets with per-packet addressing.
func (*IPConn) File ¶
File sets the underlying os.File to blocking mode and returns a copy. It is the caller's responsibility to close f when finished. Closing c does not affect f, and closing f does not affect c.
The returned os.File's file descriptor is different from the connection's. Attempting to change properties of the original using this duplicate may or may not have the desired effect.
func (*IPConn) LocalAddr ¶
func (c *IPConn) LocalAddr() Addr
LocalAddr returns the local network address. The Addr returned is shared by all invocations of LocalAddr, so do not modify it.
func (*IPConn) ReadFromIP ¶
ReadFromIP reads an IP packet from c, copying the payload into b. It returns the number of bytes copied into b and the return address that was on the packet.
ReadFromIP can be made to time out and return an error with Timeout() == true after a fixed time limit; see SetDeadline and SetReadDeadline.
func (*IPConn) ReadMsgIP ¶
ReadMsgIP reads a packet from c, copying the payload into b and the associated out-of-band data into oob. It returns the number of bytes copied into b, the number of bytes copied into oob, the flags that were set on the packet and the source address of the packet.
func (*IPConn) RemoteAddr ¶
func (c *IPConn) RemoteAddr() Addr
RemoteAddr returns the remote network address. The Addr returned is shared by all invocations of RemoteAddr, so do not modify it.
func (*IPConn) SetDeadline ¶
SetDeadline implements the Conn SetDeadline method.
func (*IPConn) SetReadBuffer ¶
SetReadBuffer sets the size of the operating system's receive buffer associated with the connection.
func (*IPConn) SetReadDeadline ¶
SetReadDeadline implements the Conn SetReadDeadline method.
func (*IPConn) SetWriteBuffer ¶
SetWriteBuffer sets the size of the operating system's transmit buffer associated with the connection.
func (*IPConn) SetWriteDeadline ¶
SetWriteDeadline implements the Conn SetWriteDeadline method.
func (*IPConn) WriteMsgIP ¶
WriteMsgIP writes a packet to addr via c, copying the payload from b and the associated out-of-band data from oob. It returns the number of payload and out-of-band bytes written.
type IPMask ¶
type IPMask []byte
An IP mask is an IP address.
func CIDRMask ¶
CIDRMask returns an IPMask consisting of `ones' 1 bits followed by 0s up to a total length of `bits' bits. For a mask of this form, CIDRMask is the inverse of IPMask.Size.
type IPNet ¶
An IPNet represents an IP network.
func (*IPNet) String ¶
String returns the CIDR notation of n like "192.168.100.1/24" or "2001:DB8::/48" as defined in RFC 4632 and RFC 4291. If the mask is not in the canonical form, it returns the string which consists of an IP address, followed by a slash character and a mask expressed as hexadecimal form with no punctuation like "192.168.100.1/c000ff00".
type Interface ¶
type Interface struct { Index int // positive integer that starts at one, zero is never used MTU int // maximum transmission unit Name string // e.g., "en0", "lo0", "eth0.100" HardwareAddr HardwareAddr // IEEE MAC-48, EUI-48 and EUI-64 form Flags Flags // e.g., FlagUp, FlagLoopback, FlagMulticast }
Interface represents a mapping between network interface name and index. It also represents network interface facility information.
func InterfaceByIndex ¶
InterfaceByIndex returns the interface specified by index.
func InterfaceByName ¶
InterfaceByName returns the interface specified by name.
func Interfaces ¶
Interfaces returns a list of the system's network interfaces.
func (*Interface) MulticastAddrs ¶

type InvalidAddrError ¶
type InvalidAddrError string
func (InvalidAddrError) Error ¶
func (e InvalidAddrError) Error() string
func (InvalidAddrError) Temporary ¶
func (e InvalidAddrError) Temporary() bool
func (InvalidAddrError) Timeout ¶
func (e InvalidAddrError) Timeout() bool
type Listener ¶
type Listener interface { // Accept waits for and returns the next connection to the listener. Accept() (Conn, error) // Close closes the listener. // Any blocked Accept operations will be unblocked and return errors. Close() error // Addr returns the listener's network address. Addr() Addr }
A Listener is a generic network listener for stream-oriented protocols.
Multiple goroutines may invoke methods on a Listener simultaneously.
Example ¶
package main import ( "io" "log" "net" ) func main() { // Listen on TCP port 2000 on all interfaces. l, err := net.Listen("tcp", ":2000") if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } defer l.Close() for { // Wait for a connection. conn, err := l.Accept() if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } // Handle the connection in a new goroutine. // The loop then returns to accepting, so that // multiple connections may be served concurrently. go func(c net.Conn) { // Echo all incoming data. io.Copy(c, c) // Shut down the connection. c.Close() }(conn) } }
Output:
func FileListener ¶
FileListener returns a copy of the network listener corresponding to the open file f. It is the caller's responsibility to close ln when finished. Closing ln does not affect f, and closing f does not affect ln.
func Listen ¶
Listen announces on the local network address laddr. The network net must be a stream-oriented network: "tcp", "tcp4", "tcp6", "unix" or "unixpacket". For TCP and UDP, the syntax of laddr is "host:port", like "127.0.0.1:8080". If host is omitted, as in ":8080", Listen listens on all available interfaces instead of just the interface with the given host address. See Dial for more details about address syntax.
type OpError ¶
type OpError struct { // Op is the operation which caused the error, such as // "read" or "write". Op string // Net is the network type on which this error occurred, // such as "tcp" or "udp6". Net string // For operations involving a remote network connection, like // Dial, Read, or Write, Source is the corresponding local // network address. Source Addr // Addr is the network address for which this error occurred. // For local operations, like Listen or SetDeadline, Addr is // the address of the local endpoint being manipulated. // For operations involving a remote network connection, like // Dial, Read, or Write, Addr is the remote address of that // connection. Addr Addr // Err is the error that occurred during the operation. Err error }
OpError is the error type usually returned by functions in the net package. It describes the operation, network type, and address of an error.
type PacketConn ¶
type PacketConn interface { // ReadFrom reads a packet from the connection, // copying the payload into b. It returns the number of // bytes copied into b and the return address that // was on the packet. // ReadFrom can be made to time out and return // an error with Timeout() == true after a fixed time limit; // see SetDeadline and SetReadDeadline. ReadFrom(b []byte) (n int, addr Addr, err error) // WriteTo writes a packet with payload b to addr. // WriteTo can be made to time out and return // an error with Timeout() == true after a fixed time limit; // see SetDeadline and SetWriteDeadline. // On packet-oriented connections, write timeouts are rare. WriteTo(b []byte, addr Addr) (n int, err error) // Close closes the connection. // Any blocked ReadFrom or WriteTo operations will be unblocked and return errors. Close() error // LocalAddr returns the local network address. LocalAddr() Addr // SetDeadline sets the read and write deadlines associated // with the connection. SetDeadline(t time.Time) error // SetReadDeadline sets the deadline for future Read calls. // If the deadline is reached, Read will fail with a timeout // (see type Error) instead of blocking. // A zero value for t means Read will not time out. SetReadDeadline(t time.Time) error // SetWriteDeadline sets the deadline for future Write calls. // If the deadline is reached, Write will fail with a timeout // (see type Error) instead of blocking. // A zero value for t means Write will not time out. // Even if write times out, it may return n > 0, indicating that // some of the data was successfully written. SetWriteDeadline(t time.Time) error }

For TCP and UDP, the syntax of laddr is "host:port", like "127.0.0.1:8080". If host is omitted, as in ":8080", ListenPacket listens on all available interfaces instead of just the interface with the given host address. See Dial for the syntax of laddr.

Notes ¶
Bugs ¶
On every POSIX platform, reads from the "ip4" network using the ReadFrom or ReadFromIP method might not return a complete IPv4 packet, including its header, even if there is space available. This can occur even in cases where Read or ReadMsgIP could return a complete packet. For this reason, it is recommended that you do not uses these methods if it is important to receive a full packet.
The Go 1 compatibility guidelines make it impossible for us to change the behavior of these methods; use Read or ReadMsgIP instead.
On DragonFly BSD and OpenBSD, listening on the "tcp" and "udp" networks does not listen for both IPv4 and IPv6 connections. This is due to the fact that IPv4 traffic will not be routed to an IPv6 socket - two separate sockets are required if both address families are to be supported. See inet6(4) for details.
