| // This package provides utilities for efficiently performing Win32 IO operations in Go. |
| // Currently, this package is provides support for genreal IO and management of |
| // - named pipes |
| // - files |
| // - [Hyper-V sockets] |
| // |
| // This code is similar to Go's [net] package, and uses IO completion ports to avoid |
| // blocking IO on system threads, allowing Go to reuse the thread to schedule other goroutines. |
| // |
| // This limits support to Windows Vista and newer operating systems. |
| // |
| // Additionally, this package provides support for: |
| // - creating and managing GUIDs |
| // - writing to [ETW] |
| // - opening and manageing VHDs |
| // - parsing [Windows Image files] |
| // - auto-generating Win32 API code |
| // |
