1 // This package provides utilities for efficiently performing Win32 IO operations in Go. 2 // Currently, this package is provides support for genreal IO and management of 3 // - named pipes 4 // - files 5 // - [Hyper-V sockets] 6 // 7 // This code is similar to Go's [net] package, and uses IO completion ports to avoid 8 // blocking IO on system threads, allowing Go to reuse the thread to schedule other goroutines. 9 // 10 // This limits support to Windows Vista and newer operating systems. 11 // 12 // Additionally, this package provides support for: 13 // - creating and managing GUIDs 14 // - writing to [ETW] 15 // - opening and manageing VHDs 16 // - parsing [Windows Image files] 17 // - auto-generating Win32 API code 18 // 19 // [Hyper-V sockets]: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/user-guide/make-integration-service 20 // [ETW]: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/devtest/event-tracing-for-windows--etw- 21 // [Windows Image files]: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/work-with-windows-images 22 package winio 23
