# socket [](https://github.com/mdlayher/socket/actions) [](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/mdlayher/socket) [](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/mdlayher/socket)

Package `socket` provides a low-level network connection type which integrates
|
||
|
|
with Go's runtime network poller to provide asynchronous I/O and deadline
|
||
|
|
support. MIT Licensed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This package focuses on UNIX-like operating systems which make use of BSD
|
||
|
|
sockets system call APIs. It is meant to be used as a foundation for the
|
||
|
|
creation of operating system-specific socket packages, for socket families such
|
||
|
|
as Linux's `AF_NETLINK`, `AF_PACKET`, or `AF_VSOCK`. This package should not be
|
||
|
|
used directly in end user applications.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Any use of package socket should be guarded by build tags, as one would also
|
||
|
|
use when importing the `syscall` or `golang.org/x/sys` packages.
