如何检查net.Conn是否关闭？

Question

Or how to check it is available for Read or Write in loop? If the conn is closed or not available, we should stop the loop.

For example:

package main

import "net"

func main() {
    conn, err := net.Dial("tcp", "127.0.0.1:1111")
    defer conn.Close()
    for {
        buf := make([]byte, 1, 1)
        n, err := conn.Read(buf)
        if err != nil {
            // currently we can only stop the loop
            // when occur any errors
            log.Fatal(err)
        }
    }
}

You can get a number of errors, depending on how the connection was closed. The only error that you can count on receiving from a Read is an io.EOF. io.EOF is the value use to indicate that a connection was closed normally.

Other errors can be checked against the net.Error interface for its Timeout and Temporary methods. These are usually of the type net.OpError. Any non-temporary error returned from a Write is fatal, as it indicates the write couldn't succeed, but note that due to the underlying network API, writes returning no error still aren't guaranteed to have succeeded.

In general you can just follow the io.Reader api.

When Read encounters an error or end-of-file condition after successfully reading n > 0 bytes, it returns the number of bytes read. It may return the (non-nil) error from the same call or return the error (and n == 0) from a subsequent call. An instance of this general case is that a Reader returning a non-zero number of bytes at the end of the input stream may return either err == EOF or err == nil. The next Read should return 0, EOF.

If there was data read, you handle that first. After you handle the data, you can break from the loop on any error. If it was io.EOF, the connection is closed normally, and any other errors you can handle as you see fit.
