POSIX interface about net2-rs HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for the report! Yeah it's too late to radically design the std::net module, but it's intended that this repository would serve for any other flavors of extensions or use cases. It's currently our belief that we can have a "rustic" interface while also preserving maximal flexibility in terms of what underlying syscalls need to be issued.

Do you have some concrete use cases which aren't enabled by net2 + std::net today? Would be good to know if the design needs to change!

As far as just flat out things not possible currently, only a few various options through getsockopt and setsockopt are left. Of the options, now that the buf sizes PR just got accepted, I'm only missing one that I care about, and I'll be sending a PR to cover this right after I get this comment finished :)

As far as general use cases that I'm currently having trouble working directly with std::net go, I thought I had one, but by the time I was finished writing it all out here, I discovered that it was just me being dumb, and found a better way to handle it. Funny how just by writing out your problem sometimes causes the solution to dawn on you!

Never mind about the PR, it appears that option is there as well and I just missed it.

Good to hear it worked out! We're definitely still missing a number of common socket options I think, so if you run across any that need to be added feel free to send a PR!
