Functions

func Dial

func Dial(network, address string, header byte) (net.Conn, error)

Dial connects to a remote mux listener with a given header byte.

Types

type Mux

type Mux struct {

	// The amount of time to wait for the first header byte.
	Timeout time.Duration

	// Out-of-band error logger
	Logger *log.Logger
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Mux multiplexes a network connection.

func NewMux

func NewMux() *Mux

NewMux returns a new instance of Mux.

func (*Mux) DefaultListener

func (mux *Mux) DefaultListener() net.Listener

DefaultListener will return a net.Listener that will pass-through any connections with non-registered values for the first byte of the connection. The connections returned from this listener's Accept() method will replay the first byte of the connection as a short first Read().

This can be used to pass to an HTTP server, so long as there are no conflicts with registered listener bytes and the first character of the HTTP request: 71 ('G') for GET, etc.

func (*Mux) Listen

func (mux *Mux) Listen(header byte) net.Listener

Listen returns a listener identified by header. Any connection accepted by mux is multiplexed based on the initial header byte.

func (*Mux) Serve

func (mux *Mux) Serve(ln net.Listener) error

Serve handles connections from ln and multiplexes then across registered listeners.
