# go-winio
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This repository contains utilities for efficiently performing Win32 IO operations in
|
||
|
|
Go. Currently, this is focused on accessing named pipes and other file handles, and
|
||
|
|
for using named pipes as a net transport.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This code relies on IO completion ports to avoid blocking IO on system threads, allowing Go
|
||
|
|
to reuse the thread to schedule another goroutine. This limits support to Windows Vista and
|
||
|
|
newer operating systems. This is similar to the implementation of network sockets in Go's net
|
||
|
|
package.
