Connection is the interface defining a data connection, such as a socket or a mocked implementation.
type Connection interface { io.ReadWriteCloser CloseRead() error CloseWrite() error File() (*os.File, error) }
DevNullTransport is a transport that will:
For reads: return either closed or EOF for as appropriate. For writers: return either closed or throw away the write as appropriate.
The DevNullTransport is used as the container logging transport when stdio access is denied. It is also used for non-terminal external processes (aka a process run in the UVM) when stdio access is denied.
type DevNullTransport struct{}
func (t *DevNullTransport) Dial(fd uint32) (Connection, error)
Transport is the interface defining a method of transporting data in a connection-like way. Examples of a Transport implementation could be:
-Hyper-V socket transport -TCP/IP socket transport -Mocked-out local transport
type Transport interface { // Dial takes a port number and returns a connected connection. Dial(port uint32) (Connection, error) }
VsockTransport is an implementation of Transport which uses vsock sockets.
type VsockTransport struct{}
func (t *VsockTransport) Dial(port uint32) (Connection, error)
Dial accepts a vsock socket port number as configuration, and returns an unconnected VsockConnection struct.
