Package net provides a portable interface for network I/O, including
TCP/IP, UDP, domain name resolution, and Unix domain sockets.

Although the package provides access to low-level networking
primitives, most clients will need only the basic interface provided
by the Dial, Listen, and Accept functions and the associated
Conn and Listener interfaces. The crypto/tls package uses
the same interfaces and similar Dial and Listen functions.

The Dial function connects to a server:

	conn, err := net.Dial("tcp", "google.com:80")
	if err != nil {
		// handle error
	}
	fmt.Fprintf(conn, "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n")
	status, err := bufio.NewReader(conn).ReadString('\n')
	// ...

The Listen function creates servers:

	ln, err := net.Listen("tcp", ":8080")
	if err != nil {
		// handle error
	}
	for {
		conn, err := ln.Accept()
		if err != nil {
			// handle error
			continue
		}
		go handleConnection(conn)
	}
