Net Module

(net/chunk stream nbytes &opt buf)

Same a net/read, but will wait for all n bytes to arrive rather than return early.

(net/close stream)

Close a stream so that no further communication can occur.

(net/connect host port)

Open a connection to communicate with a server. Returns a duplex stream that can be used to communicate with the server.

(net/read stream nbytes &opt buf)

Read up to n bytes from a stream, suspending the current fiber until the bytes are available. If less than n bytes are available (and more than 0), will push those bytes and return early. Returns a buffer with up to n more bytes in it, or raises an error if the read failed.

(net/server host port handler)

Start a TCP server. handler is a function that will be called with a stream on each connection to the server. Returns a new stream that is neither readable nor writeable.

(net/write stream data)

Write data to a stream, suspending the current fiber until the write completes. Returns nil, or raises an error if the write failed.
