Package p9 contains an implementation of 9P, the Plan 9 from Bell Labs file protocol. The package provides high-level APIs for both creating 9P servers and connecting to those servers as a client. Although it abstracts away a lot of the complexity of 9P, some familiarity with the protocol is advised. Like "net/http", it exposes a fair amount of the inner workings of the package so that a user can opt to build their own high-level implementation on top of it. The primary concept that the user should understand is that in 9P, everything is referenced relative to previously referenced objects. For example, a typical 9P exchange, skipping version negotiation and authentication, might look something like this: This package attempts to completely abstract away the navigation aspects of 9P, but a lot of things are still relative to others. For example, opening a file on the server from the client is done by calling the Open method on an already existing file reference and passing it a path. The Client type provides a series of functionality that allows the user to connect to 9P servers. Here's an example of its use: The client is split into two main types: Client and Remote. Client provides the basic functionality for establishing a connection, performing authentication, and attaching to file hierarchies. Remote provides functionality for opening and creating files, getting information about them, and reading from and writing to them. They behave similarly to files themselves, implementing many of the same interfaces that os.File implements. The server works similarly to the "net/http" package, but, due to the major differences in the protocol being handled, is quite a bit more complicated. At the top level, there is a ListenAndServe function, much like what is provided by "net/http". For most cases, the user can provide a filesystem by implementing the FileSystem interface and passing an instance of their implementation to the FSConnHandler function to get a handler to pass to ListenAndServe. If the user only wants to serve local files, the Dir type provides a pre-built implementation of FileSystem that does just that. Similarly, the AuthFS type allows the user to add the ability to authenticate to a FileSystem implementation that otherwise has none, such as the aforementioned Dir.
