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", "golang.org: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.

On Unix the pure Go resolver is preferred over the cgo resolver, 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.

On all systems (except Plan 9), when the cgo resolver is being used this package applies a concurrent cgo lookup limit to prevent the system from running out of system threads. Currently, it is limited to 500 concurrent lookups.

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 native resolver (cgo, win32)

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.

The Go resolver will send an EDNS0 additional header with a DNS request, to signal a willingness to accept a larger DNS packet size. This can reportedly cause sporadic failures with the DNS server run by some modems and routers. Setting GODEBUG=netedns0=0 will disable sending the additional header.

On macOS, if Go code that uses the net package is built with -buildmode=c-archive, linking the resulting archive into a C program requires passing -lresolv when linking the C code.

On Plan 9, the resolver always accesses /net/cs and /net/dns.

On Windows, in Go 1.18.x and earlier, the resolver always used C library functions, such as GetAddrInfo and DnsQuery.

Well-known IPv6 addresses

View Source 
var DefaultResolver = &Resolver{}

DefaultResolver is the resolver used by the package-level Lookup functions and by Dialers without a specified Resolver.

View Source 
var ErrClosed error = errClosed

ErrClosed is the error returned by an I/O call on a network connection that has already been closed, or that is closed by another goroutine before the I/O is completed. This may be wrapped in another error, and should normally be tested using errors.Is(err, net.ErrClosed).

Functions

func JoinHostPort 

func JoinHostPort(host, port string) string

JoinHostPort combines host and port into a network address of the form "host:port". If host contains a colon, as found in literal IPv6 addresses, then JoinHostPort returns "[host]:port".

See func Dial for a description of the host and port parameters.

func LookupAddr 

func LookupAddr(addr string) (names []string, err error)

LookupAddr performs a reverse lookup for the given address, returning a list of names mapping to that address.

The returned names are validated to be properly formatted presentation-format domain names. If the response contains invalid names, those records are filtered out and an error will be returned alongside the remaining results, if any.

When using the host C library resolver, at most one result will be returned. To bypass the host resolver, use a custom Resolver.

LookupAddr uses context.Background internally; to specify the context, use Resolver.LookupAddr.

func LookupCNAME 

func LookupCNAME(host string) (cname string, err error)

LookupCNAME returns the canonical name for the given host. 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.

A canonical name is the final name after following zero or more CNAME records. LookupCNAME does not return an error if host does not contain DNS "CNAME" records, as long as host resolves to address records.

The returned canonical name is validated to be a properly formatted presentation-format domain name.

LookupCNAME uses context.Background internally; to specify the context, use Resolver.LookupCNAME.

func LookupHost 

func LookupHost(host string) (addrs []string, err error)

LookupHost looks up the given host using the local resolver. It returns a slice of that host's addresses.

LookupHost uses context.Background internally; to specify the context, use Resolver.LookupHost.

func LookupPort 

func LookupPort(network, service string) (port int, err error)

LookupPort looks up the port for the given network and service.

LookupPort uses context.Background internally; to specify the context, use Resolver.LookupPort.

func LookupTXT 

func LookupTXT(name string) ([]string, error)

LookupTXT returns the DNS TXT records for the given domain name.

LookupTXT uses context.Background internally; to specify the context, use Resolver.LookupTXT.

func ParseCIDR 

func ParseCIDR(s string) (IP, *IPNet, error)

ParseCIDR parses s as a CIDR notation IP address and prefix length, like "192.0.2.0/24" or "2001:db8::/32", as defined in RFC 4632 and RFC 4291.

It returns the IP address and the network implied by the IP and prefix length. For example, ParseCIDR("192.0.2.1/24") returns the IP address 192.0.2.1 and the network 192.0.2.0/24.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"net"
)

func main() {
	ipv4Addr, ipv4Net, err := net.ParseCIDR("192.0.2.1/24")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(ipv4Addr)
	fmt.Println(ipv4Net)

	ipv6Addr, ipv6Net, err := net.ParseCIDR("2001:db8:a0b:12f0::1/32")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(ipv6Addr)
	fmt.Println(ipv6Net)

}

Output:

192.0.2.1
192.0.2.0/24
2001:db8:a0b:12f0::1
2001:db8::/32

func Pipe 

func Pipe() (Conn, Conn)

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 

func SplitHostPort(hostport string) (host, port string, err error)

SplitHostPort splits a network address of the form "host:port", "host%zone:port", "[host]:port" or "[host%zone]:port" into host or host%zone and port.

A literal IPv6 address in hostport must be enclosed in square brackets, as in "[::1]:80", "[::1%lo0]:80".

See func Dial for a description of the hostport parameter, and host and port results.

Types

type Addr 

type Addr interface {
	Network() string // name of the network (for example, "tcp", "udp")
	String() string  // string form of address (for example, "192.0.2.1:25", "[2001:db8::1]:80")
}

Addr represents a network end point address.

The two methods [Addr.Network] and [Addr.String] conventionally return strings that can be passed as the arguments to Dial, but the exact form and meaning of the strings is up to the implementation.

func InterfaceAddrs 

func InterfaceAddrs() ([]Addr, error)

InterfaceAddrs returns a list of the system's unicast interface addresses.

The returned list does not identify the associated interface; use Interfaces and Interface.Addrs for more detail.

type AddrError 

type AddrError struct {
	Err  string
	Addr string
}

func (*AddrError) Error 

func (e *AddrError) Error() string

func (*AddrError) Temporary 

func (e *AddrError) Temporary() bool

func (*AddrError) Timeout 

func (e *AddrError) Timeout() bool

type Buffers added in go1.8 

type Buffers [][]byte

Buffers contains zero or more runs of bytes to write.

On certain machines, for certain types of connections, this is optimized into an OS-specific batch write operation (such as "writev").

func (*Buffers) Read added in go1.8 

func (v *Buffers) Read(p []byte) (n int, err error)

Read from the buffers.

Read implements io.Reader for Buffers.

Read modifies the slice v as well as v[i] for 0 <= i < len(v), but does not modify v[i][j] for any i, j.

func (*Buffers) WriteTo added in go1.8 

func (v *Buffers) WriteTo(w io.Writer) (n int64, err error)

WriteTo writes contents of the buffers to w.

WriteTo implements io.WriterTo for Buffers.

WriteTo modifies the slice v as well as v[i] for 0 <= i < len(v), but does not modify v[i][j] for any i, j.

type Conn 

type Conn interface {
	// Read reads data from the connection.
	// Read can be made to time out and return an error 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 an error 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, if known.
	LocalAddr() Addr

	// RemoteAddr returns the remote network address, if known.
	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 instead of blocking. The deadline applies to all future
	// and pending I/O, not just the immediately following call to
	// Read or Write. After a deadline has been exceeded, the
	// connection can be refreshed by setting a deadline in the future.
	//
	// If the deadline is exceeded a call to Read or Write or to other
	// I/O methods will return an error that wraps os.ErrDeadlineExceeded.
	// This can be tested using errors.Is(err, os.ErrDeadlineExceeded).
	// The error's Timeout method will return true, but note that there
	// are other possible errors for which the Timeout method will
	// return true even if the deadline has not been exceeded.
	//
	// 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
	// and any currently-blocked Read call.
	// A zero value for t means Read will not time out.
	SetReadDeadline(t time.Time) error

	// SetWriteDeadline sets the deadline for future Write calls
	// and any currently-blocked Write call.
	// 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 

func Dial(network, address string) (Conn, error)

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, the address has the form "host:port". The host must be a literal IP address, or a host name that can be resolved to IP addresses. The port must be a literal port number or a service name. If the host is a literal IPv6 address it must be enclosed in square brackets, as in "[2001:db8::1]:80" or "[fe80::1%zone]:80". The zone specifies the scope of the literal IPv6 address as defined in RFC 4007. The functions JoinHostPort and SplitHostPort manipulate a pair of host and port in this form. When using TCP, and the host resolves to multiple IP addresses, Dial will try each IP address in order until one succeeds.

Examples: 

Dial("tcp", "golang.org:http")
Dial("tcp", "192.0.2.1:http")
Dial("tcp", "198.51.100.1:80")
Dial("udp", "[2001:db8::1]:domain")
Dial("udp", "[fe80::1%lo0]:53")
Dial("tcp", ":80")

For IP networks, the network must be "ip", "ip4" or "ip6" followed by a colon and a literal protocol number or a protocol name, and the address has the form "host". The host must be a literal IP address or a literal IPv6 address with zone. It depends on each operating system how the operating system behaves with a non-well known protocol number such as "0" or "255".

Examples: 

Dial("ip4:1", "192.0.2.1")
Dial("ip6:ipv6-icmp", "2001:db8::1")
Dial("ip6:58", "fe80::1%lo0")

For TCP, UDP and IP networks, if the host is empty or a literal unspecified IP address, as in ":80", "0.0.0.0:80" or "[::]:80" for TCP and UDP, "", "0.0.0.0" or "::" for IP, the local system is assumed.

For Unix networks, the address must be a file system path.

func DialTimeout 

func DialTimeout(network, address string, timeout time.Duration) (Conn, error)

DialTimeout acts like Dial but takes a timeout.

The timeout includes name resolution, if required. When using TCP, and the host in the address parameter resolves to multiple IP addresses, the timeout is spread over each consecutive dial, such that each is given an appropriate fraction of the time to connect.

See func Dial for a description of the network and address parameters.

func FileConn 

func FileConn(f *os.File) (c Conn, err error)

FileConn returns a copy of the network connection corresponding to the open file f. It is the caller's responsibility to close f when finished. Closing c does not affect f, and closing f does not affect c.

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

func (*DNSConfigError) Unwrap added in go1.13 

func (e *DNSConfigError) Unwrap() error

type DNSError 

type DNSError struct {
	UnwrapErr   error  // error returned by the [DNSError.Unwrap] method, might be nil
	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

	// IsNotFound is set to true when the requested name does not
	// contain any records of the requested type (data not found),
	// or the name itself was not found (NXDOMAIN).
	IsNotFound bool
}

DNSError represents a DNS lookup error.

func (*DNSError) Error 

func (e *DNSError) Error() string

func (*DNSError) Temporary 

func (e *DNSError) Temporary() bool

Temporary reports whether the DNS error is known to be temporary. This is not always known; a DNS lookup may fail due to a temporary error and return a DNSError for which Temporary returns false.

func (*DNSError) Timeout 

func (e *DNSError) Timeout() bool

Timeout reports whether the DNS lookup is known to have timed out. This is not always known; a DNS lookup may fail due to a timeout and return a DNSError for which Timeout returns false.

func (*DNSError) Unwrap added in go1.23.0 

func (e *DNSError) Unwrap() error

Unwrap returns e.UnwrapErr.

type Dialer added in go1.1 

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 using TCP and dialing a host 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 previously enabled RFC 6555 Fast Fallback
	// support, also known as "Happy Eyeballs", in which IPv4 is
	// tried soon if IPv6 appears to be misconfigured and
	// hanging.
	//
	// Deprecated: Fast Fallback is enabled by default. To
	// disable, set FallbackDelay to a negative value.
	DualStack bool

	// FallbackDelay specifies the length of time to wait before
	// spawning a RFC 6555 Fast Fallback connection. That is, this
	// is the amount of time to wait for IPv6 to succeed before
	// assuming that IPv6 is misconfigured and falling back to
	// IPv4.
	//
	// If zero, a default delay of 300ms is used.
	// A negative value disables Fast Fallback support.
	FallbackDelay time.Duration

	// KeepAlive specifies the interval between keep-alive
	// probes for an active network connection.
	//
	// KeepAlive is ignored if KeepAliveConfig.Enable is true.
	//
	// If zero, keep-alive probes are sent with a default value
	// (currently 15 seconds), if supported by the protocol and operating
	// system. Network protocols or operating systems that do
	// not support keep-alive ignore this field.
	// If negative, keep-alive probes are disabled.
	KeepAlive time.Duration

	// KeepAliveConfig specifies the keep-alive probe configuration
	// for an active network connection, when supported by the
	// protocol and operating system.
	//
	// If KeepAliveConfig.Enable is true, keep-alive probes are enabled.
	// If KeepAliveConfig.Enable is false and KeepAlive is negative,
	// keep-alive probes are disabled.
	KeepAliveConfig KeepAliveConfig

	// Resolver optionally specifies an alternate resolver to use.
	Resolver *Resolver

	// Cancel is an optional channel whose closure indicates that
	// the dial should be canceled. Not all types of dials support
	// cancellation.
	//
	// Deprecated: Use DialContext instead.
	Cancel <-chan struct{}

	// If Control is not nil, it is called after creating the network
	// connection but before actually dialing.
	//
	// Network and address parameters passed to Control function are not
	// necessarily the ones passed to Dial. For example, passing "tcp" to Dial
	// will cause the Control function to be called with "tcp4" or "tcp6".
	//
	// Control is ignored if ControlContext is not nil.
	Control func(network, address string, c syscall.RawConn) error

	// If ControlContext is not nil, it is called after creating the network
	// connection but before actually dialing.
	//
	// Network and address parameters passed to ControlContext function are not
	// necessarily the ones passed to Dial. For example, passing "tcp" to Dial
	// will cause the ControlContext function to be called with "tcp4" or "tcp6".
	//
	// If ControlContext is not nil, Control is ignored.
	ControlContext func(ctx context.Context, network, address string, c syscall.RawConn) error
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

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.

It is safe to call Dialer's methods concurrently.

Example 
package main

import (
	"context"
	"log"
	"net"
	"time"
)

func main() {
	var d net.Dialer
	ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), time.Minute)
	defer cancel()

	conn, err := d.DialContext(ctx, "tcp", "localhost:12345")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Failed to dial: %v", err)
	}
	defer conn.Close()

	if _, err := conn.Write([]byte("Hello, World!")); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}

Output:
Example (Unix) 
package main

import (
	"context"
	"log"
	"net"
	"time"
)

func main() {
	// DialUnix does not take a context.Context parameter. This example shows
	// how to dial a Unix socket with a Context. Note that the Context only
	// applies to the dial operation; it does not apply to the connection once
	// it has been established.
	var d net.Dialer
	ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), time.Minute)
	defer cancel()

	d.LocalAddr = nil // if you have a local addr, add it here
	raddr := net.UnixAddr{Name: "/path/to/unix.sock", Net: "unix"}
	conn, err := d.DialContext(ctx, "unix", raddr.String())
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Failed to dial: %v", err)
	}
	defer conn.Close()
	if _, err := conn.Write([]byte("Hello, socket!")); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}

Output:

func (*Dialer) Dial added in go1.1 

func (d *Dialer) Dial(network, address string) (Conn, error)

Dial connects to the address on the named network.

See func Dial for a description of the network and address parameters.

Dial uses context.Background internally; to specify the context, use Dialer.DialContext.

func (*Dialer) DialContext added in go1.7 

func (d *Dialer) DialContext(ctx context.Context, network, address string) (Conn, error)

DialContext connects to the address on the named network using the provided context.

The provided Context must be non-nil. If the context expires before the connection is complete, an error is returned. Once successfully connected, any expiration of the context will not affect the connection.

When using TCP, and the host in the address parameter resolves to multiple network addresses, any dial timeout (from d.Timeout or ctx) is spread over each consecutive dial, such that each is given an appropriate fraction of the time to connect. For example, if a host has 4 IP addresses and the timeout is 1 minute, the connect to each single address will be given 15 seconds to complete before trying the next one.

See func Dial for a description of the network and address parameters.

func (*Dialer) MultipathTCP added in go1.21.0 

func (d *Dialer) MultipathTCP() bool

MultipathTCP reports whether MPTCP will be used.

This method doesn't check if MPTCP is supported by the operating system or not.

func (*Dialer) SetMultipathTCP added in go1.21.0 

func (d *Dialer) SetMultipathTCP(use bool)

SetMultipathTCP directs the Dial methods to use, or not use, MPTCP, if supported by the operating system. This method overrides the system default and the GODEBUG=multipathtcp=... setting if any.

If MPTCP is not available on the host or not supported by the server, the Dial methods will fall back to TCP.

type Error 

type Error interface {
	error
	Timeout() bool // Is the error a timeout?

	// Deprecated: Temporary errors are not well-defined.
	// Most "temporary" errors are timeouts, and the few exceptions are surprising.
	// Do not use this method.
	Temporary() bool
}

An Error represents a network error.

type Flags 

type Flags uint
const (
	FlagUp           Flags = 1 << iota // interface is administratively up
	FlagBroadcast                      // interface supports broadcast access capability
	FlagLoopback                       // interface is a loopback interface

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.

Example (To4) 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net"
)

func main() {
	ipv6 := net.IP{0xfc, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}
	ipv4 := net.IPv4(10, 255, 0, 0)

	fmt.Println(ipv6.To4())
	fmt.Println(ipv4.To4())

}

Output:

<nil>
10.255.0.0

func IPv4 

func IPv4(a, b, c, d byte) IP

IPv4 returns the IP address (in 16-byte form) of the IPv4 address a.b.c.d.

Example 
package main

	fmt.Println(net.IPv4(8, 8, 8, 8))

}

Output:

8.8.8.8

func LookupIP

LookupIP looks up host using the local resolver. It returns a slice of that host's IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

func ParseIP 

func ParseIP(s string) IP

ParseIP parses s as an IP address, returning the result. The string s can be in IPv4 dotted decimal ("192.0.2.1"), IPv6 ("2001:db8::68"), or IPv4-mapped IPv6 ("::ffff:192.0.2.1") form. If s is not a valid textual representation of an IP address, ParseIP returns nil. The returned address is always 16 bytes, IPv4 addresses are returned in IPv4-mapped IPv6 form.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(net.ParseIP("192.0.2.1"))
	fmt.Println(net.ParseIP("2001:db8::68"))

type KeepAliveConfig added in go1.23.0 

type KeepAliveConfig struct {
	// If Enable is true, keep-alive probes are enabled.
	Enable bool

	// Idle is the time that the connection must be idle before
	// the first keep-alive probe is sent.
	// If zero, a default value of 15 seconds is used.
	Idle time.Duration

	// Interval is the time between keep-alive probes.
	// If zero, a default value of 15 seconds is used.
	Interval time.Duration

	// Count is the maximum number of keep-alive probes that
	// can go unanswered before dropping a connection.
	// If zero, a default value of 9 is used.
	Count int
}

KeepAliveConfig contains TCP keep-alive options.

If the Idle, Interval, or Count fields are zero, a default value is chosen. If a field is negative, the corresponding socket-level option will be left unchanged.

Note that prior to Windows 10 version 1709, neither setting Idle and Interval separately nor changing Count (which is usually 10) is supported. Therefore, it's recommended to set both Idle and Interval to non-negative values in conjunction with a -1 for Count on those old Windows if you intend to customize the TCP keep-alive settings. By contrast, if only one of Idle and Interval is set to a non-negative value, the other will be set to the system default value, and ultimately, set both Idle and Interval to negative values if you want to leave them unchanged.

Note that Solaris and its derivatives do not support setting Interval to a non-negative value and Count to a negative value, or vice-versa.

type ListenConfig added in go1.11 

type ListenConfig struct {
	// If Control is not nil, it is called after creating the network
	// connection but before binding it to the operating system.

}

ListenConfig contains options for listening to an address.

func (*ListenConfig) Listen added in go1.11 

func (lc *ListenConfig) Listen(ctx context.Context, network, address string) (Listener, error)

Listen announces on the local network address.

See func Listen for a description of the network and address parameters.

See func ListenPacket for a description of the network and address parameters.

func (*ListenConfig) MultipathTCP added in go1.21.0 

func (lc *ListenConfig) MultipathTCP() bool

MultipathTCP reports whether MPTCP will be used.

This method doesn't check if MPTCP is supported by the operating system or not.

func (*ListenConfig) SetMultipathTCP added in go1.21.0 

func (lc *ListenConfig) SetMultipathTCP(use bool)

SetMultipathTCP directs the Listen method to use, or not use, MPTCP, if supported by the operating system. This method overrides the system default and the GODEBUG=multipathtcp=... setting if any.

If MPTCP is not available on the host or not supported by the client, the Listen method will fall back to TCP.

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 available unicast and
	// anycast IP addresses of the local system.
	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 

func FileListener(f *os.File) (ln Listener, err error)

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 

func Listen(network, address string) (Listener, error)

Listen announces on the local network address.

The network must be "tcp", "tcp4", "tcp6", "unix" or "unixpacket".

For TCP networks, if the host in the address parameter is empty or a literal unspecified IP address, Listen listens on all available unicast and anycast IP addresses of the local system. To only use IPv4, use network "tcp4". The address can use a host name, but this is not recommended, because it will create a listener for at most one of the host's IP addresses. If the port in the address parameter is empty or "0", as in "127.0.0.1:" or "[::1]:0", a port number is automatically chosen. The Addr method of Listener can be used to discover the chosen port.

See func Dial for a description of the network and address parameters.

Listen uses context.Background internally; to specify the context, use ListenConfig.Listen.

	Host string
}

An NS represents a single DNS NS record.

func LookupNS added in go1.1

	// 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

	// bytes copied into p and the return address that
	// was on the packet.
	// It returns the number of bytes read (0 <= n <= len(p))
	// and any error encountered. Callers should always process
	// the n > 0 bytes returned before considering the error err.
	// ReadFrom can be made to time out and return an error after a
	// fixed time limit; see SetDeadline and SetReadDeadline.
	ReadFrom(p []byte) (n int, addr Addr, err error)

	// WriteTo writes a packet with payload p to addr.
	// WriteTo can be made to time out and return an Error after a
	// fixed time limit; see SetDeadline and SetWriteDeadline.
	// On packet-oriented connections, write timeouts are rare.
	WriteTo(p []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, if known.
	LocalAddr() 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 instead of blocking. The deadline applies to all future
	// and pending I/O, not just the immediately following call to
	// Read or Write. After a deadline has been exceeded, the
	// connection can be refreshed by setting a deadline in the future.
	//
	// If the deadline is exceeded a call to Read or Write or to other
	// I/O methods will return an error that wraps os.ErrDeadlineExceeded.
	// This can be tested using errors.Is(err, os.ErrDeadlineExceeded).
	// The error's Timeout method will return true, but note that there
	// are other possible errors for which the Timeout method will
	// return true even if the deadline has not been exceeded.
	//
	// An idle timeout can be implemented by repeatedly extending
	// the deadline after successful ReadFrom or WriteTo 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 ReadFrom calls
	// and any currently-blocked ReadFrom call.
	// A zero value for t means ReadFrom will not time out.
	SetReadDeadline(t time.Time) error

	// SetWriteDeadline sets the deadline for future WriteTo calls
	// and any currently-blocked WriteTo call.
	// 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 WriteTo will not time out.
	SetWriteDeadline(t time.Time) error
}

PacketConn is a generic packet-oriented network connection.

Multiple goroutines may invoke methods on a PacketConn simultaneously.

func FilePacketConn 

func FilePacketConn(f *os.File) (c PacketConn, err error)

FilePacketConn returns a copy of the packet network connection corresponding to the open file f. It is the caller's responsibility to close f when finished. Closing c does not affect f, and closing f does not affect c.

func ListenPacket 

func ListenPacket(network, address string) (PacketConn, error)

ListenPacket announces on the local network address.

The network must be "udp", "udp4", "udp6", "unixgram", or an IP transport. The IP transports are "ip", "ip4", or "ip6" followed by a colon and a literal protocol number or a protocol name, as in "ip:1" or "ip:icmp".

For UDP and IP networks, if the host in the address parameter is empty or a literal unspecified IP address, ListenPacket listens on all available IP addresses of the local system except multicast IP addresses. To only use IPv4, use network "udp4" or "ip4:proto". The address can use a host name, but this is not recommended, because it will create a listener for at most one of the host's IP addresses. If the port in the address parameter is empty or "0", as in "127.0.0.1:" or "[::1]:0", a port number is automatically chosen. The LocalAddr method of PacketConn can be used to discover the chosen port.

See func Dial for a description of the network and address parameters.

ListenPacket uses context.Background internally; to specify the context, use ListenConfig.ListenPacket.

	PreferGo bool

	// StrictErrors controls the behavior of temporary errors

	// sub-queries (such as an A+AAAA address lookup, or walking the
	// DNS search list), this option causes such errors to abort the
	// whole query instead of returning a partial result. This is
	// not enabled by default because it may affect compatibility
	// with resolvers that process AAAA queries incorrectly.
	StrictErrors bool

	// Dial optionally specifies an alternate dialer for use by
	// Go's built-in DNS resolver to make TCP and UDP connections
	// to DNS services. The host in the address parameter will
	// always be a literal IP address and not a host name, and the
	// port in the address parameter will be a literal port number
	// and not a service name.
	// If the Conn returned is also a PacketConn, sent and received DNS
	// messages must adhere to RFC 1035 section 4.2.1, "UDP usage".
	// Otherwise, DNS messages transmitted over Conn must adhere

func (*Resolver) LookupCNAME added in go1.8 

func (r *Resolver) LookupCNAME(ctx context.Context, host string) (string, error)

LookupCNAME returns the canonical name for the given host. 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.

A canonical name is the final name after following zero or more CNAME records. LookupCNAME does not return an error if host does not contain DNS "CNAME" records, as long as host resolves to address records.

The returned canonical name is validated to be a properly formatted presentation-format domain name.

func (*TCPConn) File 

func (c *TCPConn) File() (f *os.File, err error)

File returns a copy of the underlying os.File. 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 (*TCPConn) LocalAddr 

func (c *TCPConn) LocalAddr() Addr

LocalAddr returns the local network address. The Addr returned is shared by all invocations of LocalAddr, so do not modify it.

func (*TCPConn) MultipathTCP added in go1.21.0 

func (c *TCPConn) MultipathTCP() (bool, error)

MultipathTCP reports whether the ongoing connection is using MPTCP.

If Multipath TCP is not supported by the host, by the other peer or intentionally / accidentally filtered out by a device in between, a fallback to TCP will be done. This method does its best to check if MPTCP is still being used or not.

On Linux, more conditions are verified on kernels >= v5.16, improving the results.

func (*TCPConn) SetLinger 

func (c *TCPConn) SetLinger(sec int) error

SetLinger sets the behavior of Close on a connection which still has data waiting to be sent or to be acknowledged.

If sec < 0 (the default), the operating system finishes sending the data in the background.

If sec == 0, the operating system discards any unsent or unacknowledged data.

If sec > 0, the data is sent in the background as with sec < 0. On some operating systems including Linux, this may cause Close to block until all data has been sent or discarded. On some operating systems after sec seconds have elapsed any remaining unsent data may be discarded.

func (*TCPConn) SetNoDelay 

func (c *TCPConn) SetNoDelay(noDelay bool) error

SetNoDelay controls whether the operating system should delay packet transmission in hopes of sending fewer packets (Nagle's algorithm). The default is true (no delay), meaning that data is sent as soon as possible after a Write.

The network must be a UDP network name.

If the host in the address parameter is not a literal IP address or the port is not a literal port number, ResolveUDPAddr resolves the address to an address of UDP end point. Otherwise, it parses the address as a pair of literal IP address and port number. The address parameter can use a host name, but this is not recommended, because it will return at most one of the host name's IP addresses.

See func Dial for a description of the network and address parameters.

func UDPAddrFromAddrPort added in go1.18 

func UDPAddrFromAddrPort(addr netip.AddrPort) *UDPAddr

func (*UDPAddr) String 

func (a *UDPAddr) String() string

type UDPConn 

type UDPConn struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

UDPConn is the implementation of the Conn and PacketConn interfaces for UDP network connections.

func DialUDP 

func DialUDP(network string, laddr, raddr *UDPAddr) (*UDPConn, error)

DialUDP acts like Dial for UDP networks.

The network must be a UDP network name; see func Dial for details.

If laddr is nil, a local address is automatically chosen. If the IP field of raddr is nil or an unspecified IP address, the local system is assumed.

func ListenMulticastUDP 

func ListenMulticastUDP(network string, ifi *Interface, gaddr *UDPAddr) (*UDPConn, error)

ListenMulticastUDP acts like ListenPacket for UDP networks but takes a group address on a specific network interface.

The network must be a UDP network name; see func Dial for details.

ListenMulticastUDP listens on all available IP addresses of the local system including the group, multicast IP address. If ifi is nil, ListenMulticastUDP uses the system-assigned multicast interface, although this is not recommended because the assignment depends on platforms and sometimes it might require routing configuration. If the Port field of gaddr is 0, a port number is automatically chosen.

ListenMulticastUDP is just for convenience of simple, small applications. There are golang.org/x/net/ipv4 and golang.org/x/net/ipv6 packages for general purpose uses.

Note that ListenMulticastUDP will set the IP_MULTICAST_LOOP socket option to 0 under IPPROTO_IP, to disable loopback of multicast packets.

func ListenUDP 

func ListenUDP(network string, laddr *UDPAddr) (*UDPConn, error)

ListenUDP acts like ListenPacket for UDP networks.

The network must be a UDP network name; see func Dial for details.

If the IP field of laddr is nil or an unspecified IP address, ListenUDP listens on all available IP addresses of the local system except multicast IP addresses. If the Port field of laddr is 0, a port number is automatically chosen.

	conn, err := net.ListenPacket("udp", ":0")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	defer conn.Close()

	dst, err := net.ResolveUDPAddr("udp", "192.0.2.1:2000")

Notes

Bugs

  • On JS and Windows, the FileConn, FileListener and FilePacketConn functions are not implemented.

  • On JS, methods and functions related to Interface are not implemented.

  • On AIX, DragonFly BSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Plan 9 and Solaris, the MulticastAddrs method of Interface is not implemented.

  • 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 use 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 JS and Plan 9, methods and functions related to IPConn are not implemented.

  • On Windows, the File method of IPConn is not implemented.

  • 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.

  • On Windows, the Write method of syscall.RawConn does not integrate with the runtime's network poller. It cannot wait for the connection to become writeable, and does not respect deadlines. If the user-provided callback returns false, the Write method will fail immediately.

  • On JS and Plan 9, the Control, Read and Write methods of syscall.RawConn are not implemented.

  • On JS and Windows, the File method of TCPConn and TCPListener is not implemented.

  • On Plan 9, the ReadMsgUDP and WriteMsgUDP methods of UDPConn are not implemented.

  • On Windows, the File method of UDPConn is not implemented.

  • On JS, methods and functions related to UDPConn are not implemented.

  • On JS, WASIP1 and Plan 9, methods and functions related to UnixConn and UnixListener are not implemented.

  • On Windows, methods and functions related to UnixConn and UnixListener don't work for "unixgram" and "unixpacket".
