The net module provides you with an asynchronous network wrapper. It contains methods for creating both servers and clients (called streams).
Static methods
staticconnect(options:EitherType<NetConnectOptionsTcp, NetConnectOptionsUnix>, ?connectListener:() ‑> Void):Socket
staticconnect(path:String, ?connectListener:() ‑> Void):Socket
staticconnect(port:Int, ?connectListener:() ‑> Void):Socket
staticconnect(port:Int, host:String, ?connectListener:() ‑> Void):Socket
A factory function, which returns a new Socket and automatically connects with the supplied options.
The options are passed to both the Socket constructor and the socket.connect method.
The connectListener parameter will be added as a listener for the connect event once.
If port is provided, creates a TCP connection to port on host.
If host is omitted, 'localhost' will be assumed.
If path is provided, creates unix socket connection to path.
Otherwise options argument should be provided.
staticcreateConnection(options:EitherType<NetConnectOptionsTcp, NetConnectOptionsUnix>, ?connectListener:() ‑> Void):Socket
staticcreateConnection(path:String, ?connectListener:() ‑> Void):Socket
staticcreateConnection(port:Int, ?connectListener:() ‑> Void):Socket
staticcreateConnection(port:Int, host:String, ?connectListener:() ‑> Void):Socket
Same as connect.
staticcreateServer(?connectionListener:Socket ‑> Void):Server
staticcreateServer(options:NetCreateServerOptions, ?connectionListener:Socket ‑> Void):Server
Creates a new TCP server.
The connectionListener argument is automatically set as a listener for the 'connection' event.
staticisIP(input:String):NetIsIPResult
Tests if input is an IP address. Returns 0 for invalid strings, returns 4 for IP version 4 addresses, and returns 6 for IP version 6 addresses.
