# GO_REUSEPORT

**GO_REUSEPORT** is a little expirement to create a `net.Listener` that supports [SO_REUSEPORT](http://lwn.net/Articles/542629/) socket option.

For now, Darwin and Linux (from 3.9) systems are supported. I'll be pleased if you'll test other systems and tell me the results.
documentation on [godoc.org](http://godoc.org/github.com/kavu/go_reuseport "go_reuseport documentation").

## Example ##

```go
package main

import (
"fmt"
"html"
"net/http"
"os"
"runtime"
"github.com/kavu/go_reuseport"
)

func main() {
listener, err := reuseport.Listen("tcp", "localhost:8881")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer listener.Close()

server := &http.Server{}
http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
fmt.Println(os.Getgid())
fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hello, %q\n", html.EscapeString(r.URL.Path))
})

panic(server.Serve(listener))
}
```

Now you can run several instances of this tiny server without `Address already in use` errors.
