std::net

This is the canonical module doc for std::net.

std::net provides the hosted networking API shipped in std/net.slk: byte-order helpers, IPv4/IPv6 address types, TCP and UDP sockets, hostname resolution, and the current async socket integration layer.

On Apple targets using the auto or platform security provider, builds that import std::net link Network.framework as the platform networking provider surface is brought online. The current public API remains the hosted socket API documented in networking.

The detailed API contract and platform/runtime notes are documented in:

• networking

Read that page as the complete public surface for:

• Ipv4Addr and Ipv6Addr
• SocketAddrV4, SocketAddrV6, and SocketAddr
• NetErrorKind, NetFailed, and the Net*Result aliases
