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.

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.

)

Well-known IPv6 addresses

var DefaultResolver = &Resolver{}

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

var (
    ErrWriteToConnected = errors.New("use of WriteTo with pre-connected connection")
)

Various errors contained in OpError.

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.

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

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

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 LookupPort

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

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

func LookupTXT

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

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

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.

Code:

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

func Buffers.WriteTo

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

type Conn

type Conn interface {
    // Read reads data from the connection.
    // Read can be made to time out and return an 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 an 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 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.
    //
    // 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.
    //
    // Note that if a TCP connection has keep-alive turned on,
    // which is the default unless overridden by Dialer.KeepAlive
    // or ListenConfig.KeepAlive, then a keep-alive failure may
    // also return a timeout error. On Unix systems a keep-alive
    // failure on I/O can be detected using
    // errors.Is(err, syscall.ETIMEDOUT).
    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 {

func (e *DNSConfigError) Temporary() bool

func DNSConfigError.Timeout

func (e *DNSConfigError) Timeout() bool

func DNSConfigError.Unwrap

func (e *DNSConfigError) Unwrap() error

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
    IsNotFound  bool   // if true, host could not be found
}

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.

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 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.
    // 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-alives ignore this field.
    // If negative, keep-alive probes are disabled.
    KeepAlive time.Duration

    // 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 method 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 func(network, address string, c syscall.RawConn) error
}

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

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

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

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

    FlagLoopback                       // interface is a loopback interface
    FlagPointToPoint                   // interface belongs to a point-to-point link
    FlagMulticast                      // interface supports multicast access capability
)

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

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.

func IP.MarshalText

func (ip IP) MarshalText() ([]byte, error)

MarshalText implements the encoding.TextMarshaler interface. The encoding is the same as returned by String, with one exception: When len(ip) is zero, it returns an empty slice.

func IP.Mask

func (ip IP) Mask(mask IPMask) IP

Mask returns the result of masking the IP address ip with mask.

Code:

ipv4Addr := net.ParseIP("192.0.2.1")
// This mask corresponds to a /24 subnet for IPv4.
ipv4Mask := net.CIDRMask(24, 32)
fmt.Println(ipv4Addr.Mask(ipv4Mask))

ipv6Addr := net.ParseIP("2001:db8:a0b:12f0::1")
// This mask corresponds to a /32 subnet for IPv6.
ipv6Mask := net.CIDRMask(32, 128)

Output:

192.0.2.0
2001:db8::

func IP.String

A Listener is a generic network listener for stream-oriented protocols.

Multiple goroutines may invoke methods on a Listener simultaneously.

Code:

// 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)

    // 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.

        c.Close()
    }(conn)
}

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.

    // 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

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.

    // StrictErrors controls the behavior of temporary errors
    // (including timeout, socket errors, and SERVFAIL) when using
    // Go's built-in resolver. For a query composed of multiple
    // 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
    // to RFC 7766 section 5, "Transport Protocol Selection".

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

func UnixListener.Close

func (l *UnixListener) Close() error

Close stops listening on the Unix address. Already accepted connections are not closed.

func UnixListener.File

func (l *UnixListener) 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 l does not affect f, and closing f does not affect l.

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 UnixListener.SetDeadline

func (l *UnixListener) SetDeadline(t time.Time) error

SetDeadline sets the deadline associated with the listener. A zero time value disables the deadline.

func UnixListener.SetUnlinkOnClose

func (l *UnixListener) SetUnlinkOnClose(unlink bool)

SetUnlinkOnClose sets whether the underlying socket file should be removed from the file system when the listener is closed.

The default behavior is to unlink the socket file only when package net created it. That is, when the listener and the underlying socket file were created by a call to Listen or ListenUnix, then by default closing the listener will remove the socket file. but if the listener was created by a call to FileListener to use an already existing socket file, then by default closing the listener will not remove the socket file.

func UnixListener.SyscallConn

func (l *UnixListener) SyscallConn() (syscall.RawConn, error)

SyscallConn returns a raw network connection. This implements the syscall.Conn interface.

The returned RawConn only supports calling Control. Read and Write return an error.

type UnknownNetworkError

type UnknownNetworkError string

func UnknownNetworkError.Error

func (e UnknownNetworkError) Error() string

func UnknownNetworkError.Temporary

func (e UnknownNetworkError) Temporary() bool

func UnknownNetworkError.Timeout

func (e UnknownNetworkError) Timeout() bool
