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 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. 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. netcgo_off.go netgo_off.go nss.go parse.go pipe.go port.go port_unix.go rawconn.go rlimit_unix.go sendfile_linux.go sock_cloexec.go sock_linux.go sock_posix.go sockaddr_posix.go sockopt_linux.go sockopt_posix.go sockoptip_linux.go sockoptip_posix.go splice_linux.go tcpsock.go tcpsock_posix.go tcpsockopt_posix.go tcpsockopt_unix.go udpsock.go udpsock_posix.go unixsock.go unixsock_posix.go unixsock_readmsg_cmsg_cloexec.go writev_unix.go

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. // name of the network (for example, "tcp", "udp") // string form of address (for example, "192.0.2.1:25", "[2001:db8::1]:80") *IPAddr *IPNet *TCPAddr *UDPAddr *UnixAddr Addr : expvar.Var Addr : fmt.Stringer func InterfaceAddrs() ([]Addr, error) func Conn.LocalAddr() Addr func Conn.RemoteAddr() Addr func (*Interface).Addrs() ([]Addr, error) func (*Interface).MulticastAddrs() ([]Addr, error) func (*IPConn).ReadFrom(b []byte) (int, Addr, error) func Listener.Addr() Addr func PacketConn.LocalAddr() Addr func PacketConn.ReadFrom(p []byte) (n int, addr Addr, err error) func (*TCPListener).Addr() Addr func (*UDPConn).ReadFrom(b []byte) (int, Addr, error) func (*UnixConn).ReadFrom(b []byte) (int, Addr, error) func (*UnixListener).Addr() Addr func crypto/tls.(*Conn).LocalAddr() Addr func crypto/tls.(*Conn).RemoteAddr() Addr func (*IPConn).WriteTo(b []byte, addr Addr) (int, error) func PacketConn.WriteTo(p []byte, addr Addr) (n int, err error) func (*UDPConn).WriteTo(b []byte, addr Addr) (int, error) func (*UnixConn).WriteTo(b []byte, addr Addr) (int, error)

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"). 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. 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. *Buffers : io.Reader *Buffers : io.WriterTo
Conn is a generic stream-oriented network connection. Multiple goroutines may invoke methods on a Conn simultaneously. Close closes the connection. Any blocked Read or Write operations will be unblocked and return errors. LocalAddr returns the local network address, if known. 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. RemoteAddr returns the remote network address, if known. 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. 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. 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. 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. *IPConn *TCPConn *UDPConn *UnixConn *crypto/tls.Conn Conn : internal/bisect.Writer Conn : io.Closer Conn : io.ReadCloser Conn : io.Reader Conn : io.ReadWriteCloser Conn : io.ReadWriter Conn : io.WriteCloser Conn : io.Writer func Dial(network, address string) (Conn, error) func DialTimeout(network, address string, timeout time.Duration) (Conn, error) func FileConn(f *os.File) (c Conn, err error) func Pipe() (Conn, Conn) func Pipe() (Conn, Conn) func (*Dialer).Dial(network, address string) (Conn, error) func (*Dialer).DialContext(ctx context.Context, network, address string) (Conn, error) func Listener.Accept() (Conn, error) func (*TCPListener).Accept() (Conn, error) func (*UnixListener).Accept() (Conn, error) func net/http.Hijacker.Hijack() (Conn, *bufio.ReadWriter, error) func net/http.(*ResponseController).Hijack() (Conn, *bufio.ReadWriter, error) func net/http/httputil.(*ClientConn).Hijack() (c Conn, r *bufio.Reader) func net/http/httputil.(*ServerConn).Hijack() (Conn, *bufio.Reader) func crypto/tls.(*Conn).NetConn() Conn func crypto/tls.(*Dialer).Dial(network, addr string) (Conn, error) func crypto/tls.(*Dialer).DialContext(ctx context.Context, network, addr string) (Conn, error) func net/http/httputil.NewClientConn(c Conn, r *bufio.Reader) *httputil.ClientConn func net/http/httputil.NewProxyClientConn(c Conn, r *bufio.Reader) *httputil.ClientConn func net/http/httputil.NewServerConn(c Conn, r *bufio.Reader) *httputil.ServerConn func net/smtp.NewClient(conn Conn, host string) (*smtp.Client, error) func crypto/tls.Client(conn Conn, config *tls.Config) *tls.Conn func crypto/tls.Server(conn Conn, config *tls.Config) *tls.Conn
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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Resolver optionally specifies an alternate resolver to use. 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. 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]. 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. MultipathTCP reports whether MPTCP will be used. This method doesn't check if MPTCP is supported by the operating system or not. 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. func crypto/tls.DialWithDialer(dialer *Dialer, network, addr string, config *tls.Config) (*tls.Conn, error)

Err error (*DNSConfigError) Error() string (*DNSConfigError) Temporary() bool (*DNSConfigError) Timeout() bool (*DNSConfigError) Unwrap() error *DNSConfigError : Error *DNSConfigError : error
DNSError represents a DNS lookup error. // description of the error 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). // if true, error is temporary; not all errors set this // if true, timed out; not all timeouts set this // name looked for // server used (*DNSError) Error() string 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. 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. *DNSError : Error *DNSError : error

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. DefaultMask returns the default IP mask for the IP address ip. Only IPv4 addresses have default masks; DefaultMask returns nil if ip is not a valid IPv4 address. Equal reports whether ip and x are the same IP address. An IPv4 address and that same address in IPv6 form are considered to be equal. 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. IsInterfaceLocalMulticast reports whether ip is an interface-local multicast address. IsLinkLocalMulticast reports whether ip is a link-local multicast address. IsLinkLocalUnicast reports whether ip is a link-local unicast address. IsLoopback reports whether ip is a loopback address. IsMulticast reports whether ip is a multicast address. IsPrivate reports whether ip is a private address, according to RFC 1918 (IPv4 addresses) and RFC 4193 (IPv6 addresses). IsUnspecified reports whether ip is an unspecified address, either the IPv4 address "0.0.0.0" or the IPv6 address "::". MarshalText implements the [encoding.TextMarshaler] interface. The encoding is the same as returned by [IP.String], with one exception: When len(ip) is zero, it returns an empty slice. Mask returns the result of masking the IP address ip with mask. String returns the string form of the IP address ip. It returns one of 4 forms: - "<nil>", if ip has length 0 - dotted decimal ("192.0.2.1"), if ip is an IPv4 or IP4-mapped IPv6 address - IPv6 conforming to RFC 5952 ("2001:db8::1"), if ip is a valid IPv6 address - the hexadecimal form of ip, without punctuation, if no other cases apply To16 converts the IP address ip to a 16-byte representation. If ip is not an IP address (it is the wrong length), To16 returns nil. To4 converts the IPv4 address ip to a 4-byte representation. If ip is not an IPv4 address, To4 returns nil. UnmarshalText implements the [encoding.TextUnmarshaler] interface. The IP address is expected in a form accepted by [ParseIP].

IPConn is the implementation of the [Conn] and [PacketConn] interfaces for IP network connections. Close closes the connection. 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. LocalAddr returns the local network address. The Addr returned is shared by all invocations of LocalAddr, so do not modify it. Read implements the Conn Read method. ReadFrom implements the [PacketConn] ReadFrom method. ReadFromIP acts like ReadFrom but returns an IPAddr. ReadMsgIP reads a message from c, copying the payload into b and the associated out-of-band data into oob. It returns the number of bytes copied into b, the number of bytes copied into oob, the flags that were set on the message and the source address of the message. The packages golang.org/x/net/ipv4 and golang.org/x/net/ipv6 can be used to manipulate IP-level socket options in oob. RemoteAddr returns the remote network address. The Addr returned is shared by all invocations of RemoteAddr, so do not modify it. SetDeadline implements the Conn SetDeadline method. SetReadBuffer sets the size of the operating system's receive buffer associated with the connection. SetReadDeadline implements the Conn SetReadDeadline method. SetWriteBuffer sets the size of the operating system's transmit buffer associated with the connection. SetWriteDeadline implements the Conn SetWriteDeadline method. SyscallConn returns a raw network connection. This implements the [syscall.Conn] interface. Write implements the Conn Write method. WriteMsgIP writes a message to addr via c, copying the payload from b and the associated out-of-band data from oob. It returns the number of payload and out-of-band bytes written. The packages golang.org/x/net/ipv4 and golang.org/x/net/ipv6 can be used to manipulate IP-level socket options in oob. WriteTo implements the [PacketConn] WriteTo method. WriteToIP acts like [IPConn.WriteTo] but takes an [IPAddr]. *IPConn : Conn *IPConn : PacketConn *IPConn : internal/bisect.Writer *IPConn : io.Closer *IPConn : io.ReadCloser *IPConn : io.Reader *IPConn : io.ReadWriteCloser *IPConn : io.ReadWriter *IPConn : io.WriteCloser *IPConn : io.Writer *IPConn : syscall.Conn func DialIP(network string, laddr, raddr *IPAddr) (*IPConn, error) func ListenIP(network string, laddr *IPAddr) (*IPConn, error)
An IPMask is a bitmask that can be used to manipulate IP addresses for IP addressing and routing. See type [IPNet] and func [ParseCIDR] for details. Size returns the number of leading ones and total bits in the mask. If the mask is not in the canonical form--ones followed by zeros--then Size returns 0, 0. String returns the hexadecimal form of m, with no punctuation. IPMask : expvar.Var IPMask : fmt.Stringer func CIDRMask(ones, bits int) IPMask func IPv4Mask(a, b, c, d byte) IPMask func IP.DefaultMask() IPMask func IP.Mask(mask IPMask) IP
An IPNet represents an IP network. // network number // network mask Contains reports whether the network includes ip. Network returns the address's network name, "ip+net". String returns the CIDR notation of n like "192.0.2.0/24" or "2001:db8::/48" as defined in RFC 4632 and RFC 4291. If the mask is not in the canonical form, it returns the string which consists of an IP address, followed by a slash character and a mask expressed as hexadecimal form with no punctuation like "198.51.100.0/c000ff00". *IPNet : Addr *IPNet : expvar.Var *IPNet : fmt.Stringer func ParseCIDR(s string) (IP, *IPNet, error)
ListenConfig contains options for listening to an address. If Control is not nil, it is called after creating the network connection but before binding it to the operating system. Network and address parameters passed to Control method are not necessarily the ones passed to Listen. For example, passing "tcp" to Listen will cause the Control function to be called with "tcp4" or "tcp6". KeepAlive specifies the keep-alive period for network connections accepted by this listener. If zero, keep-alives are enabled 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-alives are disabled. Listen announces on the local network address. See func Listen for a description of the network and address parameters. ListenPacket announces on the local network address. See func ListenPacket for a description of the network and address parameters. MultipathTCP reports whether MPTCP will be used. This method doesn't check if MPTCP is supported by the operating system or not. 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.
A Listener is a generic network listener for stream-oriented protocols. Multiple goroutines may invoke methods on a Listener simultaneously. Accept waits for and returns the next connection to the listener. Addr returns the listener's network address. Close closes the listener. Any blocked Accept operations will be unblocked and return errors. *TCPListener *UnixListener Listener : io.Closer func FileListener(f *os.File) (ln Listener, err error) func Listen(network, address string) (Listener, error) func (*ListenConfig).Listen(ctx context.Context, network, address string) (Listener, error) func crypto/tls.Listen(network, laddr string, config *tls.Config) (Listener, error) func crypto/tls.NewListener(inner Listener, config *tls.Config) Listener func vendor/golang.org/x/net/nettest.NewLocalListener(network string) (Listener, error) func net/http.Serve(l Listener, handler http.Handler) error func net/http.ServeTLS(l Listener, handler http.Handler, certFile, keyFile string) error func net/http.(*Server).Serve(l Listener) error func net/http.(*Server).ServeTLS(l Listener, certFile, keyFile string) error func net/http/fcgi.Serve(l Listener, handler http.Handler) error func net/rpc.Accept(lis Listener) func net/rpc.(*Server).Accept(lis Listener) func crypto/tls.NewListener(inner Listener, config *tls.Config) Listener

OpError is the error type usually returned by functions in the net package. It describes the operation, network type, and address of an error. 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. Err is the error that occurred during the operation. The Error method panics if the error is nil. Net is the network type on which this error occurred, such as "tcp" or "udp6". Op is the operation which caused the error, such as "read" or "write". For operations involving a remote network connection, like Dial, Read, or Write, Source is the corresponding local network address. (*OpError) Error() string (*OpError) Temporary() bool (*OpError) Timeout() bool (*OpError) Unwrap() error *OpError : Error *OpError : error
PacketConn is a generic packet-oriented network connection. Multiple goroutines may invoke methods on a PacketConn simultaneously. Close closes the connection. Any blocked ReadFrom or WriteTo operations will be unblocked and return errors. LocalAddr returns the local network address, if known. ReadFrom reads a packet from the connection, copying the payload into p. It returns the number of 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. *IPConn *UDPConn *UnixConn PacketConn : io.Closer func FilePacketConn(f *os.File) (c PacketConn, err error) func ListenPacket(network, address string) (PacketConn, error) func (*ListenConfig).ListenPacket(ctx context.Context, network, address string) (PacketConn, error) func vendor/golang.org/x/net/nettest.NewLocalPacketListener(network string) (PacketConn, error)
A ParseError is the error type of literal network address parsers. Text is the malformed text string. Type is the type of string that was expected, such as "IP address", "CIDR address". (*ParseError) Error() string (*ParseError) Temporary() bool (*ParseError) Timeout() bool *ParseError : Error *ParseError : error
A Resolver looks up names and numbers. A nil *Resolver is equivalent to a zero Resolver. 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". If nil, the default dialer is used. PreferGo controls whether Go's built-in DNS resolver is preferred on platforms where it's available. It is equivalent to setting GODEBUG=netdns=go, but scoped to just this resolver. 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. 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. 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. LookupHost looks up the given host using the local resolver. It returns a slice of that host's addresses. LookupIP looks up host for the given network using the local resolver. It returns a slice of that host's IP addresses of the type specified by network. network must be one of "ip", "ip4" or "ip6". LookupIPAddr looks up host using the local resolver. It returns a slice of that host's IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. LookupMX returns the DNS MX records for the given domain name sorted by preference. The returned mail server 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. LookupNS returns the DNS NS records for the given domain name. The returned name server 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. LookupNetIP looks up host using the local resolver. It returns a slice of that host's IP addresses of the type specified by network. The network must be one of "ip", "ip4" or "ip6". LookupPort looks up the port for the given network and service. The network must be one of "tcp", "tcp4", "tcp6", "udp", "udp4", "udp6" or "ip". 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. The returned service 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. LookupTXT returns the DNS TXT records for the given domain name. var DefaultResolver *Resolver

TCPAddr represents the address of a TCP end point. IP IP Port int // IPv6 scoped addressing zone AddrPort returns the [TCPAddr] a as a [netip.AddrPort]. If a.Port does not fit in a uint16, it's silently truncated. If a is nil, a zero value is returned. Network returns the address's network name, "tcp".

TCPConn is an implementation of the [Conn] interface for TCP network connections. Close closes the connection. CloseRead shuts down the reading side of the TCP connection. Most callers should just use Close. CloseWrite shuts down the writing side of the TCP connection. Most callers should just use Close. 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. LocalAddr returns the local network address. The Addr returned is shared by all invocations of LocalAddr, so do not modify it. 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. Read implements the Conn Read method. ReadFrom implements the [io.ReaderFrom] ReadFrom method. RemoteAddr returns the remote network address. The Addr returned is shared by all invocations of RemoteAddr, so do not modify it. SetDeadline implements the Conn SetDeadline method. SetKeepAlive sets whether the operating system should send keep-alive messages on the connection. SetKeepAlivePeriod sets period between keep-alives. 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. 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. SetReadBuffer sets the size of the operating system's receive buffer associated with the connection. SetReadDeadline implements the Conn SetReadDeadline method. SetWriteBuffer sets the size of the operating system's transmit buffer associated with the connection. SetWriteDeadline implements the Conn SetWriteDeadline method. SyscallConn returns a raw network connection. This implements the [syscall.Conn] interface. Write implements the Conn Write method. WriteTo implements the io.WriterTo WriteTo method. *TCPConn : Conn *TCPConn : internal/bisect.Writer *TCPConn : io.Closer *TCPConn : io.ReadCloser *TCPConn : io.Reader *TCPConn : io.ReaderFrom *TCPConn : io.ReadWriteCloser *TCPConn : io.ReadWriter *TCPConn : io.WriteCloser *TCPConn : io.Writer *TCPConn : io.WriterTo *TCPConn : syscall.Conn func DialTCP(network string, laddr, raddr *TCPAddr) (*TCPConn, error) func (*TCPListener).AcceptTCP() (*TCPConn, error)
TCPListener is a TCP network listener. Clients should typically use variables of type [Listener] instead of assuming TCP. Accept implements the Accept method in the [Listener] interface; it waits for the next call and returns a generic [Conn]. AcceptTCP accepts the next incoming call and returns the new connection. Addr returns the listener's network address, a [*TCPAddr]. The Addr returned is shared by all invocations of Addr, so do not modify it. Close stops listening on the TCP address. Already Accepted connections are not closed. 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. SetDeadline sets the deadline associated with the listener. A zero time value disables the deadline. 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. *TCPListener : Listener *TCPListener : io.Closer *TCPListener : syscall.Conn func ListenTCP(network string, laddr *TCPAddr) (*TCPListener, error)
UDPAddr represents the address of a UDP end point. IP IP Port int // IPv6 scoped addressing zone AddrPort returns the UDPAddr a as a netip.AddrPort. If a.Port does not fit in a uint16, it's silently truncated. If a is nil, a zero value is returned. Network returns the address's network name, "udp".

UDPConn is the implementation of the Conn and PacketConn interfaces for UDP network connections. Close closes the connection. 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. LocalAddr returns the local network address. The Addr returned is shared by all invocations of LocalAddr, so do not modify it. Read implements the Conn Read method. ReadFrom implements the PacketConn ReadFrom method. ReadFromUDP acts like ReadFrom but returns a UDPAddr. ReadFromUDPAddrPort acts like ReadFrom but returns a netip.AddrPort. If c is bound to an unspecified address, the returned netip.AddrPort's address might be an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address. Use netip.Addr.Unmap to get the address without the IPv6 prefix. ReadMsgUDP reads a message from c, copying the payload into b and the associated out-of-band data into oob. It returns the number of bytes copied into b, the number of bytes copied into oob, the flags that were set on the message and the source address of the message. The packages golang.org/x/net/ipv4 and golang.org/x/net/ipv6 can be used to manipulate IP-level socket options in oob. ReadMsgUDPAddrPort is like ReadMsgUDP but returns an netip.AddrPort instead of a UDPAddr. RemoteAddr returns the remote network address.

SetReadBuffer sets the size of the operating system's receive buffer associated with the connection. SetReadDeadline implements the Conn SetReadDeadline method. SetWriteBuffer sets the size of the operating system's transmit buffer associated with the connection. SetWriteDeadline implements the Conn SetWriteDeadline method. SyscallConn returns a raw network connection. This implements the syscall.Conn interface. Write implements the Conn Write method. WriteMsgUDP writes a message to addr via c if c isn't connected, or to c's remote address if c is connected (in which case addr must be nil). The payload is copied from b and the associated out-of-band data is copied from oob. It returns the number of payload and out-of-band bytes written. The packages golang.org/x/net/ipv4 and golang.org/x/net/ipv6 can be used to manipulate IP-level socket options in oob.

UnixConn is an implementation of the [Conn] interface for connections to Unix domain sockets. Close closes the connection. CloseRead shuts down the reading side of the Unix domain connection. Most callers should just use Close. CloseWrite shuts down the writing side of the Unix domain connection. Most callers should just use Close. 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.

The Addr returned is shared by all invocations of LocalAddr, so do not modify it. Read implements the Conn Read method. ReadFrom implements the [PacketConn] ReadFrom method. ReadFromUnix acts like [UnixConn.ReadFrom] but returns a [UnixAddr]. ReadMsgUnix reads a message from c, copying the payload into b and the associated out-of-band data into oob. It returns the number of bytes copied into b, the number of bytes copied into oob, the flags that were set on the message and the source address of the message. Note that if len(b) == 0 and len(oob) > 0, this function will still read (and discard) 1 byte from the connection. RemoteAddr returns the remote network address. The Addr returned is shared by all invocations of RemoteAddr, so do not modify it. SetDeadline implements the Conn SetDeadline method. SetReadBuffer sets the size of the operating system's receive buffer associated with the connection. SetReadDeadline implements the Conn SetReadDeadline method.

UnixListener is a Unix domain socket listener. Clients should typically use variables of type [Listener] instead of assuming Unix domain sockets. Accept implements the Accept method in the [Listener] interface. Returned connections will be of type [*UnixConn]. AcceptUnix accepts the next incoming call and returns the new connection. Addr returns the listener's network address. The Addr returned is shared by all invocations of Addr, so do not modify it. Close stops listening on the Unix address. Already accepted connections are not closed. 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. SetDeadline sets the deadline associated with the listener. A zero time value disables the deadline. 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. 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. *UnixListener : Listener *UnixListener : io.Closer *UnixListener : syscall.Conn func ListenUnix(network string, laddr *UnixAddr) (*UnixListener, error)

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].
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.
DialIP acts like [Dial] for IP networks. The network must be an IP 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.
DialTCP acts like [Dial] for TCP networks. The network must be a TCP 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.
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.
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.
DialUnix acts like [Dial] for Unix networks. The network must be a Unix network name; see func Dial for details. If laddr is non-nil, it is used as the local address for the connection.
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.
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.
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.
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.
InterfaceByIndex returns the interface specified by index. On Solaris, it returns one of the logical network interfaces sharing the logical data link; for more precision use [InterfaceByName].
InterfaceByName returns the interface specified by name.
Interfaces returns a list of the system's network interfaces.
IPv4 returns the IP address (in 16-byte form) of the IPv4 address a.b.c.d.
IPv4Mask returns the IP mask (in 4-byte form) of the IPv4 mask a.b.c.d.
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.
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].
ListenIP acts like [ListenPacket] for IP networks. The network must be an IP network name; see func Dial for details. If the IP field of laddr is nil or an unspecified IP address, ListenIP listens on all available IP addresses of the local system except multicast IP addresses.
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.
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].
ListenTCP acts like [Listen] for TCP networks. The network must be a TCP network name; see func Dial for details. If the IP field of laddr is nil or an unspecified IP address, ListenTCP listens on all available unicast and anycast IP addresses of the local system. If the Port field of laddr is 0, a port number is automatically chosen.
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.
ListenUnix acts like [Listen] for Unix networks. The network must be "unix" or "unixpacket".
ListenUnixgram acts like [ListenPacket] for Unix networks. The network must be "unixgram".
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].
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].
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].
LookupIP looks up host using the local resolver. It returns a slice of that host's IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
LookupMX returns the DNS MX records for the given domain name sorted by preference. The returned mail server 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. LookupMX uses [context.Background] internally; to specify the context, use [Resolver.LookupMX].
LookupNS returns the DNS NS records for the given domain name. The returned name server 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. LookupNS uses [context.Background] internally; to specify the context, use [Resolver.LookupNS].
LookupPort looks up the port for the given network and service. LookupPort uses [context.Background] internally; to specify the context, use [Resolver.LookupPort].
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. The returned service 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.
LookupTXT returns the DNS TXT records for the given domain name. LookupTXT uses [context.Background] internally; to specify the context, use [Resolver.LookupTXT].
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.
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.
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: 00:00:5e:00:53:01 02:00:5e:10:00:00:00:01 00:00:00:00:fe:80:00:00:00:00:00:00:02:00:5e:10:00:00:00:01 00-00-5e-00-53-01 02-00-5e-10-00-00-00-01 00-00-00-00-fe-80-00-00-00-00-00-00-02-00-5e-10-00-00-00-01 0000.5e00.5301 0200.5e10.0000.0001 0000.0000.fe80.0000.0000.0000.0200.5e10.0000.0001
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.
ResolveIPAddr returns an address of IP end point. The network must be an IP network name. If the host in the address parameter is not a literal IP address, ResolveIPAddr resolves the address to an address of IP end point. Otherwise, it parses the address as a literal IP address. 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.
ResolveTCPAddr returns an address of TCP end point. The network must be a TCP network name. If the host in the address parameter is not a literal IP address or the port is not a literal port number, ResolveTCPAddr resolves the address to an address of TCP 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.
ResolveUDPAddr returns an address of UDP end point. 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.
ResolveUnixAddr returns an address of Unix domain socket end point. The network must be a Unix network name. See func [Dial] for a description of the network and address parameters.
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.
TCPAddrFromAddrPort returns addr as a [TCPAddr]. If addr.IsValid() is false, then the returned TCPAddr will contain a nil IP field, indicating an address family-agnostic unspecified address.
UDPAddrFromAddrPort returns addr as a UDPAddr. If addr.IsValid() is false, then the returned UDPAddr will contain a nil IP field, indicating an address family-agnostic unspecified address.
