We already have a LICENSE file that covers the Zig Standard Library. We
no longer need to remind everyone that the license is MIT in every single
file.
Previously this was introduced to clarify the situation for a fork of
Zig that made Zig's LICENSE file harder to find, and replaced it with
their own license that required annual payments to their company.
However that fork now appears to be dead. So there is no need to
reinforce the copyright notice in every single file.
Some parsers interpret these as octal, some don't, and the confusion can lead to vulnerabilities.
Return error.NonCanonical when parsing IPv4 addresses with 0 prefixes.
I noticed that the write function does not properly use non-blocking
I/O. This file needs to be reworked for evented I/O to properly take
advantage of non-blocking writes to network sockets.
The overlap between files and sockets is minimal and lumping them
together means supporting only a small subset of the functionalities
provided by the OS.
Moreover the socket and file handles are not always interchangeable: on
Windows one should use Winsock's close() call rather than the one used
for common files.
The AddressList returned can contain more than one item
e.g. the ipv4 and ipv6 addresses for a given hostname.
Previously if a server had multiple addresses but
was not listening on one of them Zig would give up
immediately.
Now on std.os.ConnectError.ConnectionRefused Zig will
try the next address in the list. Zig still gives up on
all other errors as they are related to the system and
system resources rather than whether the remote server
is listening on a particular address.
* improve docs
* add TODO comments for things that don't have open issues
* remove redundant namespacing of struct fields
* guard against ioctl returning EINTR
* remove the general std.os.ioctl function in favor of the specific
ioctl_SIOCGIFINDEX function. This allows us to have a more precise
error set, and more type-safe API.
