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) }
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.

DefaultResolver is the resolver used by the package-level Lookup functions and by Dialers without a specified Resolver.
var DefaultResolver = &Resolver{}
Various errors contained in OpError.
var ( ErrWriteToConnected = errors.New("use of WriteTo with pre-connected connection") )
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() ([]Interface, error)
Interfaces returns a list of the system's network interfaces.
func JoinHostPort(host, port string) string
JoinHostPort combines host and port into a network address of the form "host:port" or, if host contains a colon or a percent sign, "[host]:port".
func LookupAddr(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(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(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(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(name string) ([]*MX, error)
LookupMX returns the DNS MX records for the given domain name sorted by preference.
func LookupNS(name string) ([]*NS, error)
LookupNS returns the DNS NS records for the given domain name.
func LookupPort(network, service string) (port int, err error)
LookupPort looks up the port for the given network and service.
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(name string) ([]string, error)
LookupTXT returns the DNS TXT records for the given domain name.
func SplitHostPort(hostport string) (host, port string, err error)
SplitHostPort splits a network address of the form "host:port", "[host]:port" or "[ipv6-host%zone]:port" into host or ipv6-host%zone and port. A literal address or host name for IPv6 must be enclosed in square brackets, as in "[::1]:80", "[ipv6-host]:http" or "[ipv6-host%zone]:80".
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 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") }
type AddrError struct { Err string Addr string }
func (e *AddrError) Error() string
func (e *AddrError) Temporary() bool
func (e *AddrError) Timeout() bool
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").
type Buffers [][]byte
func (v *Buffers) Read(p []byte) (n int, err error)
func (v *Buffers) WriteTo(w io.Writer) (n int64, err error)
Conn is a generic stream-oriented network connection.
Multiple goroutines may invoke methods on a Conn simultaneously.
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. 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 }
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, addresses have the form host:port. If host is a literal IPv6 address it must be enclosed in square brackets as in "[::1]:80" or "[ipv6-host%zone]:80". The functions JoinHostPort and SplitHostPort manipulate addresses in this form. If the host is empty, as in ":80", the local system is assumed.
Examples:
Dial("tcp", "192.0.2.1:80") Dial("tcp", "golang.org:http") Dial("tcp", "[2001:db8::1]:http") Dial("tcp", "[fe80::1%lo0]:80") Dial("tcp", ":80")
For IP networks, the network must be "ip", "ip4" or "ip6" followed by a colon and a protocol number or name and the addr must be a literal IP address.
Examples:
Dial("ip4:1", "192.0.2.1") Dial("ip6:ipv6-icmp", "2001:db8::1")
For Unix networks, the address must be a file system path.
If the host is resolved to multiple addresses, Dial will try each address in order until one succeeds.
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.
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() (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.
DNSConfigError represents an error reading the machine's DNS configuration. (No longer used; kept for compatibility.)
type DNSConfigError struct { Err error }
func (e *DNSConfigError) Error() string
func (e *DNSConfigError) Temporary() bool
func (e *DNSConfigError) Timeout() bool
DNSError represents a DNS lookup error.
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 }
func (e *DNSError) Error() string
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 (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.
A Dialer contains options for connecting to an address.
The zero value for each field is equivalent to dialing without that option. Dialing with the zero value of Dialer is therefore equivalent to just calling the Dial function.
type Dialer struct { // Timeout is the maximum amount of time a dial will wait for // a connect to complete. If Deadline is also set, it may fail // earlier. // // The default is no timeout. // // When dialing a name with multiple IP addresses, the timeout // may be divided between them. // // With or without a timeout, the operating system may impose // its own earlier timeout. For instance, TCP timeouts are // often around 3 minutes. Timeout time.Duration // Deadline is the absolute point in time after which dials // will fail. If Timeout is set, it may fail earlier. // Zero means no deadline, or dependent on the operating system // as with the Timeout option. Deadline time.Time // LocalAddr is the local address to use when dialing an // address. The address must be of a compatible type for the // network being dialed. // If nil, a local address is automatically chosen. LocalAddr Addr // DualStack enables RFC 6555-compliant "Happy Eyeballs" dialing // when the network is "tcp" and the destination is a host name // with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. This allows a client to // tolerate networks where one address family is silently broken. DualStack bool // FallbackDelay specifies the length of time to wait before // spawning a fallback connection, when DualStack is enabled. // If zero, a default delay of 300ms is used. FallbackDelay time.Duration // KeepAlive specifies the keep-alive period for an active // network connection. // If zero, keep-alives are not enabled. Network protocols // that do not support keep-alives ignore this field. KeepAlive time.Duration // 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 // cancelation. // // Deprecated: Use DialContext instead. Cancel <-chan struct{} }
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 (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.
An Error represents a network error.
type Error interface { error Timeout() bool // Is the error a timeout? Temporary() bool // Is the error temporary? }
type Flags uint
const ( FlagUp Flags = 1 << iota // interface is up FlagBroadcast // interface supports broadcast access capability FlagLoopback // interface is a loopback interface FlagPointToPoint // interface belongs to a point-to-point link FlagMulticast // interface supports multicast access capability )
func (f Flags) String() string
A HardwareAddr represents a physical hardware address.
type HardwareAddr []byte
func ParseMAC(s string) (hw HardwareAddr, err error)

func (a HardwareAddr) String() string
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.
type IP []byte
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 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 198.0.2.1 and the network 198.0.2.0/24.
func ParseIP(s string) IP
ParseIP parses s as an IP address, returning the result. The string s can be in dotted decimal ("192.0.2.1") or IPv6 ("2001:db8::68") form. If s is not a valid textual representation of an IP address, ParseIP returns nil.

func (ip IP) IsGlobalUnicast() bool
IsGlobalUnicast reports whether ip is a global unicast address.
The identification of global unicast addresses uses address type identification as defined in RFC 1122, RFC 4632 and RFC 4291 with the exception of IPv4 directed broadcast addresses. It returns true even if ip is in IPv4 private address space or local IPv6 unicast address space.

func (c *IPConn) Close() error
Close closes the connection.
func (c *IPConn) File() (f *os.File, err error)
File sets the underlying os.File to blocking mode and returns a copy. It is the caller's responsibility to close f when finished. Closing c does not affect f, and closing f does not affect c.
The returned os.File's file descriptor is different from the connection's. Attempting to change properties of the original using this duplicate may or may not have the desired effect.

An IP mask is an IP address.
type IPMask []byte
func CIDRMask(ones, bits int) IPMask
CIDRMask returns an IPMask consisting of `ones' 1 bits followed by 0s up to a total length of `bits' bits. For a mask of this form, CIDRMask is the inverse of IPMask.Size.

type 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 }
package main import ( "io" "log" "net" ) func main() { // Listen on TCP port 2000 on all interfaces. l, err := net.Listen("tcp", ":2000") if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } defer l.Close() for { // Wait for a connection. conn, err := l.Accept() if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } // Handle the connection in a new goroutine. // The loop then returns to accepting, so that // multiple connections may be served concurrently. go func(c net.Conn) { // Echo all incoming data. io.Copy(c, c) // Shut down the connection. c.Close() }(conn) } }
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(net, laddr string) (Listener, error)
Listen announces on the local network address laddr. The network net must be a stream-oriented network: "tcp", "tcp4", "tcp6", "unix" or "unixpacket". For TCP and UDP, the syntax of laddr is "host:port", like "127.0.0.1:8080". If host is omitted, as in ":8080", Listen listens on all available interfaces instead of just the interface with the given host address. See Dial for more details about address syntax.
Listening on a hostname is not recommended because this creates a socket for at most one of its IP addresses.
An MX represents a single DNS MX record.
type MX struct { Host string Pref uint16 }
An NS represents a single DNS NS record.
type NS struct { Host string }
OpError is the error type usually returned by functions in the net package. It describes the operation, network type, and address of an error.
type OpError struct { // Op is the operation which caused the error, such as // "read" or "write". Op string // Net is the network type on which this error occurred, // such as "tcp" or "udp6". Net string // For operations involving a remote network connection, like // Dial, Read, or Write, Source is the corresponding local // network address. Source Addr // Addr is the network address for which this error occurred. // For local operations, like Listen or SetDeadline, Addr is // the address of the local endpoint being manipulated. // For operations involving a remote network connection, like // Dial, Read, or Write, Addr is the remote address of that // connection. Addr Addr // Err is the error that occurred during the operation. Err error }

PacketConn is a generic packet-oriented network connection.
Multiple goroutines may invoke methods on a PacketConn simultaneously.
type PacketConn interface { // ReadFrom reads a packet from the connection, // copying the payload into b. It returns the number of // bytes copied into b and the return address that // was on the packet. // ReadFrom can be made to time out and return // an Error with Timeout() == true after a fixed time limit; // see SetDeadline and SetReadDeadline. ReadFrom(b []byte) (n int, addr Addr, err error) // WriteTo writes a packet with payload b to addr. // WriteTo can be made to time out and return // an Error with Timeout() == true after a fixed time limit; // see SetDeadline and SetWriteDeadline. // On packet-oriented connections, write timeouts are rare. WriteTo(b []byte, addr Addr) (n int, err error) // Close closes the connection. // Any blocked ReadFrom or WriteTo operations will be unblocked and return errors. Close() error // LocalAddr returns the local network address. LocalAddr() Addr // SetDeadline sets the read and write deadlines associated // with the connection. 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 ReadFrom or // WriteTo. 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 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 }
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(net, laddr string) (PacketConn, error)
ListenPacket announces on the local network address laddr. The network net must be a packet-oriented network: "udp", "udp4", "udp6", "ip", "ip4", "ip6" or "unixgram". For TCP and UDP, the syntax of laddr is "host:port", like "127.0.0.1:8080". If host is omitted, as in ":8080", ListenPacket listens on all available interfaces instead of just the interface with the given host address. See Dial for the syntax of laddr.
Listening on a hostname is not recommended because this creates a socket for at most one of its IP addresses.

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 (r *Resolver) LookupHost(ctx context.Context, host string) (addrs []string, 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 (r *Resolver) LookupTXT(ctx context.Context, name string) ([]string, error)
LookupTXT returns the DNS TXT records for the given domain name.
An SRV represents a single DNS SRV record.
type SRV struct { Target string Port uint16 Priority uint16 Weight uint16 }

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 after sec seconds have elapsed any remaining unsent data may be discarded.
func (c *TCPConn) SetNoDelay(noDelay bool) error

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 NaCl, Plan 9 and Windows, the ReadMsgIP and WriteMsgIP methods of 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 File method of TCPListener is not implemented.
On NaCl, Plan 9 and Windows, the ReadMsgUDP and WriteMsgUDP methods of UDPConn are not implemented.
On Windows, the File method of UDPConn is not implemented.
On NaCl, the ListenMulticastUDP function is not implemented.
