std.net

Network capability metadata and bootstrap connection/listener handles.

Status

Runnable today:

APIReturnNotes
std.net.host()NetCreates the hosted network capability.
std.net.address(host, port)AddressBuilds an address value without allocation.
std.net.dnsName(address)StringReads the address host name.
std.net.withTimeout(address, duration)AddressReturns address metadata with a timeout.
std.net.connect(net, address)Maybe<Conn>Returns a bootstrap connection handle when available.
std.net.listen(net, address)Maybe<Listener>Returns a bootstrap listener handle when available.

Metadata labels:

  • effects: net
  • allocation behavior: no allocation
  • target support: address helpers are target-neutral; host/connect/listen require a net-capable target
  • error behavior: connection helpers return Maybe
  • ownership notes: no stream ownership transfer in the current handle model
  • example: conformance/native/pass/std-net-http-breadth.0

Example

pub fun main(world: World) -> Void raises {    let net = std.net.host()    let addr = std.net.withTimeout(std.net.address("localhost", 8080_u16), std.time.ms(250))    let conn = std.net.connect(net, addr)    if conn.has && std.mem.eql(std.net.dnsName(addr), "localhost") {        check world.out.write("net ok\n")    }}

Design Notes

std.net exposes network capability metadata and bootstrap handles. It does not provide socket read/write APIs in the current public surface.
