package net

import "net"

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:

  1. conn, err := net.Dial("tcp", "golang.org:80")
  2. if err != nil {
  3.     // handle error
  4. }
  5. fmt.Fprintf(conn, "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n")
  6. status, err := bufio.NewReader(conn).ReadString('\n')
  7. // ...

The Listen function creates servers:

  1. ln, err := net.Listen("tcp", ":8080")
  2. if err != nil {
  3.     // handle error
  4. }
  5. for {
  6.     conn, err := ln.Accept()
  7.     if err != nil {
  8.         // handle error
  9.     }
  10.     go handleConnection(conn)
  11. }

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:

  1. export GODEBUG=netdns=go    # force pure Go resolver
  2. 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.

  3. )

Various errors contained in OpError.

func InterfaceAddrs 

  1. 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.

func Interfaces 

  1. func Interfaces() ([]Interface, error)
Interfaces returns a list of the system’s network interfaces.

func JoinHostPort 

  1. 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 

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

func LookupCNAME 

  1. 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.

func LookupHost 

  1. 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.

func LookupIP 

  1. func LookupIP(host string) ([]IP, error)
LookupIP looks up host using the local resolver. It returns a slice of that host’s IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

func LookupMX 

  1. func LookupMX(name string) ([]MX, error)
LookupMX returns the DNS MX records for the given domain name sorted by preference.

func LookupNS 

  1. func LookupNS(name string) ([]NS, error)
LookupNS returns the DNS NS records for the given domain name.

func LookupPort 

  1. func LookupPort(network, service string) (port int, err error)
LookupPort looks up the port for the given network and service.

func LookupSRV 

  1. func LookupSRV(service, proto, name string) (cname string, addrs []SRV, err error)
LookupSRV tries to resolve an SRV query of the given service, protocol, and domain name. The proto is “tcp” or “udp”. The returned records are sorted by priority and randomized by weight within a priority. LookupSRV constructs the DNS name to look up following RFC 2782. That is, it looks up _service._proto.name. To accommodate services publishing SRV records under non-standard names, if both service and proto are empty strings, LookupSRV looks up name directly.

func LookupTXT 

  1. func LookupTXT(name string) ([]string, error)
LookupTXT returns the DNS TXT records for the given domain name.

func SplitHostPort 

  1. 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.

type Addr 

  1. type Addr interface {
  2.     Network() string // name of the network (for example, "tcp", "udp")
  3.     String() string  // string form of address (for example, "192.0.2.1:25", "[2001:db8::1]:80")
  4. }
Addr represents a network end point address. The two methods Network and 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.

type AddrError 

  1. type AddrError struct {
  2.     Err  string
  3.     Addr string
  4. }

func (AddrError) Error 

  1. func (e AddrError) Error() string

func (AddrError) Temporary 

  1. func (e AddrError) Temporary() bool

func (AddrError) Timeout 

  1. func (e AddrError) Timeout() bool

type Buffers 

  1. 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 

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

func (Buffers) WriteTo 

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

type Conn 

  1. type Conn interface {
  2.     // Read reads data from the connection.
  3.     // Read can be made to time out and return an Error with Timeout() == true
  4.     // after a fixed time limit; see SetDeadline and SetReadDeadline.
  5.     Read(b []byte) (n int, err error)
  6.  
  7.     // Write writes data to the connection.
  8.     // Write can be made to time out and return an Error with Timeout() == true
  9.     // after a fixed time limit; see SetDeadline and SetWriteDeadline.
  10.     Write(b []byte) (n int, err error)
  11.  
  12.     // Close closes the connection.
  13.     // Any blocked Read or Write operations will be unblocked and return errors.
  14.     Close() error
  15.  
  16.     // LocalAddr returns the local network address.
  17.     LocalAddr() Addr
  18.  
  19.     // RemoteAddr returns the remote network address.
  20.     RemoteAddr() Addr
  21.  
  22.     // SetDeadline sets the read and write deadlines associated
  23.     // with the connection. It is equivalent to calling both
  24.     // SetReadDeadline and SetWriteDeadline.
  25.     //
  26.     // A deadline is an absolute time after which I/O operations
  27.     // fail with a timeout (see type Error) instead of
  28.     // blocking. The deadline applies to all future and pending
  29.     // I/O, not just the immediately following call to Read or
  30.     // Write. After a deadline has been exceeded, the connection
  31.     // can be refreshed by setting a deadline in the future.
  32.     //
  33.     // An idle timeout can be implemented by repeatedly extending
  34.     // the deadline after successful Read or Write calls.
  35.     //
  36.     // A zero value for t means I/O operations will not time out.
  37.     SetDeadline(t time.Time) error
  38.  
  39.     // SetReadDeadline sets the deadline for future Read calls
  40.     // and any currently-blocked Read call.
  41.     // A zero value for t means Read will not time out.
  42.     SetReadDeadline(t time.Time) error
  43.  
  44.     // SetWriteDeadline sets the deadline for future Write calls
  45.     // and any currently-blocked Write call.
  46.     // Even if write times out, it may return n > 0, indicating that
  47.     // some of the data was successfully written.
  48.     // A zero value for t means Write will not time out.
  49.     SetWriteDeadline(t time.Time) error
  50. }
Conn is a generic stream-oriented network connection. Multiple goroutines may invoke methods on a Conn simultaneously.

func Dial 

  1. 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 

  1. 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 

  1. 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.

func Pipe 

  1. 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.

type DNSConfigError 

  1. type DNSConfigError struct {
  2.     Err error
  3. }
DNSConfigError represents an error reading the machine’s DNS configuration. (No longer used; kept for compatibility.)

func (DNSConfigError) Error 

  1. func (e DNSConfigError) Error() string

func (DNSConfigError) Temporary 

  1. func (e DNSConfigError) Temporary() bool

func (DNSConfigError) Timeout 

  1. func (e DNSConfigError) Timeout() bool

type DNSError 

  1. type DNSError struct {
  2.     Err         string // description of the error
  3.     Name        string // name looked for
  4.     Server      string // server used
  5.     IsTimeout   bool   // if true, timed out; not all timeouts set this
  6.     IsTemporary bool   // if true, error is temporary; not all errors set this
  7. }
DNSError represents a DNS lookup error.

func (DNSError) Error 

  1. func (e DNSError) Error() string

func (DNSError) Temporary 

  1. 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 

  1. 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.

type Dialer 

  1. type Dialer struct {
  2.     // Timeout is the maximum amount of time a dial will wait for
  3.     // a connect to complete. If Deadline is also set, it may fail
  4.     // earlier.
  5.     //
  6.     // The default is no timeout.
  7.     //
  8.     // When using TCP and dialing a host name with multiple IP
  9.     // addresses, the timeout may be divided between them.
  10.     //
  11.     // With or without a timeout, the operating system may impose
  12.     // its own earlier timeout. For instance, TCP timeouts are
  13.     // often around 3 minutes.
  14.     Timeout time.Duration
  15.  
  16.     // Deadline is the absolute point in time after which dials
  17.     // will fail. If Timeout is set, it may fail earlier.
  18.     // Zero means no deadline, or dependent on the operating system
  19.     // as with the Timeout option.
  20.     Deadline time.Time
  21.  
  22.     // LocalAddr is the local address to use when dialing an
  23.     // address. The address must be of a compatible type for the
  24.     // network being dialed.
  25.     // If nil, a local address is automatically chosen.
  26.     LocalAddr Addr
  27.  
  28.     // DualStack enables RFC 6555-compliant "Happy Eyeballs"
  29.     // dialing when the network is "tcp" and the host in the
  30.     // address parameter resolves to both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
  31.     // This allows a client to tolerate networks where one address
  32.     // family is silently broken.
  33.     DualStack bool
  34.  
  35.     // FallbackDelay specifies the length of time to wait before
  36.     // spawning a fallback connection, when DualStack is enabled.
  37.     // If zero, a default delay of 300ms is used.
  38.     FallbackDelay time.Duration
  39.  
  40.     // KeepAlive specifies the keep-alive period for an active
  41.     // network connection.
  42.     // If zero, keep-alives are not enabled. Network protocols
  43.     // that do not support keep-alives ignore this field.
  44.     KeepAlive time.Duration
  45.  
  46.     // Resolver optionally specifies an alternate resolver to use.
  47.     Resolver Resolver
  49.     // Cancel is an optional channel whose closure indicates that
  50.     // the dial should be canceled. Not all types of dials support
  51.     // cancelation.
  52.     //
  53.     // Deprecated: Use DialContext instead.
  54.     Cancel <-chan struct{}
  55. }
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.

func (Dialer) Dial 

  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.

func (Dialer) DialContext 

  1. 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.

type Error 

  1. type Error interface {
  2.     error
  3.     Timeout() bool   // Is the error a timeout?
  4.     Temporary() bool // Is the error temporary?
  5. }
An Error represents a network error.

type Flags 

  1. type Flags uint
  1. const (
  2.     FlagUp           Flags = 1 << iota // interface is up
  3.     FlagBroadcast                      // interface supports broadcast access capability
  4.     FlagLoopback                       // interface is a loopback interface
  5.     FlagPointToPoint                   // interface belongs to a point-to-point link
  6.     FlagMulticast                      // interface supports multicast access capability
  7. )

func (Flags) String 

  1. func (f Flags) String() string

type HardwareAddr 

  1. type HardwareAddr []byte
A HardwareAddr represents a physical hardware address.

func ParseMAC 

  1. 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 

  1. func (a HardwareAddr) String() string

type IP 

  1. 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 IPv4 

  1. 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: fmt.Println(net.IPv4(8, 8, 8, 8)) // Output: // 8.8.8.8

func ParseCIDR 

  1. 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: 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

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.

LookupSRV tries to resolve an SRV query of the given service, protocol, and domain name. The proto is “tcp” or “udp”. The returned records are sorted by priority and randomized by weight within a priority. LookupSRV constructs the DNS name to look up following RFC 2782. That is, it looks up _service._proto.name. To accommodate services publishing SRV records under non-standard names, if both service and proto are empty strings, LookupSRV looks up name directly.

Bugs

  • ☞ On NaCl and Windows, the FileConn, FileListener and FilePacketConn functions are not implemented.
  • ☞ On NaCl, methods and functions related to Interface are not implemented.
  • ☞ On 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 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.
