## What
|
|
|
|
This is a package containing the bits of the old `inet.af/netaddr` package that didn't make it
|
|
into Go 1.18's `net/netip` standard library package.
|
|
|
|
As background, see:
|
|
|
|
* https://github.com/inetaf/netaddr/ (now deprecated)
|
|
* https://tailscale.com/blog/netaddr-new-ip-type-for-go/ - blog post about why the package came to be originally
|
|
* https://go.dev/doc/go1.18#netip - Go 1.18 release notes
|
|
|
|
This package requires Go 1.18+ to use and complements the `net/netip`.

## FAQ
|
|
|
|
**Why's it no longer under `inet.af`?** Since that joke started, that
|
|
TLD is now under control of the Taliban. (Yes, we should've known
|
|
better. We'd even previously scolded people for relying on
|
|
questionable ccTLDs. Whoops.)
|
|
|
|
**Will this stuff make it into the standard library?** [Maybe](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/53236).
|
|
We'll see.
