Package Description

Pipelines.Sockets.Unofficial

This is a managed sockets connector for the System.IO.Pipelines API, intended to act as a stop-gap while there is no official such connector. Pipelines are pretty useless if you can't actually connect them to anything...

It draws inspiration from:

Channels.Networking.Sockets - the original "managed sockets" provider I wrote back when Pipelines were Channels
System.IO.Pipelines - the "corefx" version of the above
Kestrel.Transport.Sockets - purely server-side connector used for ASP.NET Core, using pieces of the above

and aims to provide a high-performance implementation of the IDuplexPipe interface, providing both client and server APIs. At the moment the API is very preliminary.

Release Notes

Key APIs:

SocketConnection - interacting with a Socket as a pipe
StreamConnection - interacting with a Stream as a pipe, or a pipe as a Stream
Arena / Arena<T> / Sequence<T> / Reference<T> - arena allocation APIs

It is provided under the MIT license.
