Module std::net

Networking primitives for TCP/UDP communication.

This module provides networking functionality for the Transmission Control and User Datagram Protocols, as well as types for IP and socket addresses.

Organization

• TcpListener and TcpStream provide functionality for communication over TCP
• UdpSocket provides functionality for communication over UDP
• IpAddr represents IP addresses of either IPv4 or IPv6; Ipv4Addr and Ipv6Addr are respectively IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
• SocketAddr represents socket addresses of either IPv4 or IPv6; SocketAddrV4 and SocketAddrV6 are respectively IPv4 and IPv6 socket addresses
• ToSocketAddrs is a trait that used for generic address resolution when interacting with networking objects like TcpListener, TcpStream or UdpSocket
• Other types are return or parameter types for various methods in this module

Structs

AddrParseError	An error which can be returned when parsing an IP address or a socket address.
Incoming	An iterator that infinitely accepts connections on a TcpListener.
Ipv4Addr	An IPv4 address.
Ipv6Addr	An IPv6 address.
SocketAddrV4	An IPv4 socket address.
SocketAddrV6	An IPv6 socket address.
TcpListener	A TCP socket server, listening for connections.
TcpStream	A TCP stream between a local and a remote socket.
UdpSocket	A UDP socket.

Enums

IpAddr	An IP address, either IPv4 or IPv6.
Shutdown	Possible values which can be passed to the TcpStream::shutdown method.
SocketAddr	An internet socket address, either IPv4 or IPv6.
Ipv6MulticastScope	Experimental

Traits

ToSocketAddrs

A trait for objects which can be converted or resolved to one or more SocketAddr values.
