Package netns allows ultra-simple network namespace handling. NsHandles can be retrieved and set. Note that the current namespace is thread local so actions that set and reset namespaces should use LockOSThread to make sure the namespace doesn't change due to a goroutine switch. It is best to close NsHandles when you are done with them. This can be accomplished via a `defer ns.Close()` on the handle. Changing namespaces requires elevated privileges, so in most cases this code needs to be run as root.

Functions ¶

func Set ¶

func Set(ns NsHandle) (err error)

Types ¶

type NsHandle ¶

type NsHandle int

NsHandle is a handle to a network namespace. It can be cast directly to an int and used as a file descriptor.

func Get ¶

func Get() (NsHandle, error)

func GetFromDocker ¶

func GetFromDocker(id string) (NsHandle, error)

func GetFromName ¶

func GetFromName(name string) (NsHandle, error)

func GetFromPid ¶

func GetFromPid(pid int) (NsHandle, error)

func New ¶

func New() (ns NsHandle, err error)

func None ¶

func None() NsHandle

Get an empty (closed) NsHandle

func (*NsHandle) Close ¶

func (ns *NsHandle) Close() error

Close closes the NsHandle and resets its file descriptor to -1. It is not safe to use an NsHandle after Close() is called.

func (NsHandle) Equal ¶

func (ns NsHandle) Equal(other NsHandle) bool

Equal determines if two network handles refer to the same network namespace. This is done by comparing the device and inode that the file descripors point to.

func (NsHandle) IsOpen ¶

func (ns NsHandle) IsOpen() bool

IsOpen returns true if Close() has not been called.

func (NsHandle) String ¶

func (ns NsHandle) String() string

String shows the file descriptor number and its dev and inode.
