1// This package provides utilities for efficiently performing Win32 IO operations in Go.
 2// Currently, this package is provides support for genreal IO and management of
 3//   - named pipes
 4//   - files
 5//   - [Hyper-V sockets]
 6//
 7// This code is similar to Go's [net] package, and uses IO completion ports to avoid
 8// blocking IO on system threads, allowing Go to reuse the thread to schedule other goroutines.
 9//
10// This limits support to Windows Vista and newer operating systems.
11//
12// Additionally, this package provides support for:
13//   - creating and managing GUIDs
14//   - writing to [ETW]
15//   - opening and manageing VHDs
16//   - parsing [Windows Image files]
17//   - auto-generating Win32 API code
