Socket interface functions
Modules
Structs
A structure used to make room in a cmsghdr passed to recvmsg. The
size and alignment match that of a cmsghdr followed by a T, but the
fields are not accessible, as the actual types will change on a call
to recvmsg.
Request for multicast socket operations
Request for ipv6 multicast socket operations
Hardware Address
Flags for send/recv and their relatives
Additional socket options
A wrapper around
sockaddr_un.Unix credentials of the sending process.
Enums
These constants specify the protocol family to be used
in
socket and socketpairA type-safe wrapper around a single control message. More types may
be added to this enum; do not exhaustively pattern-match it.

argument to
getsockopt and setsockopt.Constants used in

Listen for connections on a socket
Receive data from a connection-oriented socket. Returns the number of
bytes read
Receive data from a connectionless or connection-oriented socket. Returns
the number of bytes read and the socket address of the sender.
Receive message in scatter-gather vectors from a socket, and
optionally receive ancillary data into the provided buffer.
If no ancillary data is desired, use () as the type parameter.
Send data to a connection-oriented socket. Returns the number of bytes read
Send data in scatter-gather vectors to a socket, possibly accompanied
by ancillary data. Optionally direct the message at the given address,
as with sendto.
Send a message to a socket
Sets the value for the requested socket option
Shut down part of a full-duplex connection.
Return the appropriate
SockAddr type from a sockaddr_storage of a certain
size. In C this would usually be done by casting. The len argument
should be the number of bytes in the sockaddr_storage that are actually
allocated and valid. It must be at least as large as all the useful parts
of the structure. Note that in the case of a sockaddr_un, len need not
include the terminating null.Create an endpoint for communication
Create a pair of connected sockets
