// The net package's name resolution is rather complicated.
// There are two main approaches, go and cgo.
// The cgo resolver uses C functions like getaddrinfo.
// The go resolver reads system files directly and
// sends DNS packets directly to servers.
//
// The netgo build tag prefers the go resolver.
// The netcgo build tag prefers the cgo resolver.
//
// The netgo build tag also prohibits the use of the cgo tool.
// However, on Darwin, Plan 9, and Windows the cgo resolver is still available.
// On those systems the cgo resolver does not require the cgo tool.
// (The term "cgo resolver" was locked in by GODEBUG settings
// at a time when the cgo resolver did require the cgo tool.)
//
// Adding netdns=go to GODEBUG will prefer the go resolver.
// Adding netdns=cgo to GODEBUG will prefer the cgo resolver.
//
// The Resolver struct has a PreferGo field that user code
// may set to prefer the go resolver. It is documented as being
// equivalent to adding netdns=go to GODEBUG.
//
// When deciding which resolver to use, we first check the PreferGo field.
// If that is not set, we check the GODEBUG setting.
// If that is not set, we check the netgo or netcgo build tag.
// If none of those are set, we normally prefer the go resolver by default.
// However, if the cgo resolver is available,
// there is a complex set of conditions for which we prefer the cgo resolver.
//
// Other files define the netGoBuildTag, netCgoBuildTag, and cgoAvailable
// constants.
