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.

## Stability

See the [CHANGELOG](./CHANGELOG.md) file for a description of changes between

releases.

This package only supports the two most recent major versions of Go, mirroring

Go's own release policy. Older versions of Go may lack critical features and bug

fixes which are necessary for this package to function correctly.
