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 IpAddrrepresents IP addresses of either IPv4 or IPv6;Ipv4AddrandIpv6Addrare respectively IPv4 and IPv6 addressesSocketAddrrepresents socket addresses of either IPv4 or IPv6;SocketAddrV4andSocketAddrV6are respectively IPv4 and IPv6 socket addressesToSocketAddrsis 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
Rust disables inheritance of socket objects to child processes by default when possible. For
example, through the use of the CLOEXEC flag in UNIX systems or the HANDLE_FLAG_INHERIT
flag on Windows.
Structs
- An error which can be returned when parsing an IP address or a socket address.
- An IPv4 address.
- An IPv6 address.
- An IPv4 socket address.
- An IPv6 socket address.
Enums
- Ipv6MulticastScopeExperimentalScope of an IPv6 multicast address as defined in IETF RFC 7346 section 2.
- An IP address, either IPv4 or IPv6.
- Possible values which can be passed to the [
TcpStream::shutdown] method. - An internet socket address, either IPv4 or IPv6.
Traits
- A trait for objects which can be converted or resolved to one or more
SocketAddrvalues.
