Crate socket2

Utilities for handling sockets

This crate is sort of an evolution of the net2 crate after seeing the issues on it over time. The intention of this crate is to provide as direct as possible access to the system’s functionality for sockets as possible. No extra fluff (e.g. multiple syscalls or builders) provided in this crate. As a result using this crate can be a little wordy, but it should give you maximal flexibility over configuration of sockets.

Examples

use std::net::SocketAddr;
use socket2::{Socket, Domain, Type};

// create a TCP listener bound to two addresses
let socket = Socket::new(Domain::ipv6(), Type::stream(), None).unwrap();

socket.bind(&"[::1]:12345".parse::<SocketAddr>().unwrap().into()).unwrap();
socket.set_only_v6(false);
socket.listen(128).unwrap();

let listener = socket.into_tcp_listener();
// ...
