5 // Package textproto implements generic support for text-based request/response
6 // protocols in the style of HTTP, NNTP, and SMTP.
7 //
8 // The package provides:
9 //
10 // Error, which represents a numeric error response from
11 // a server.
12 //
13 // Pipeline, to manage pipelined requests and responses
14 // in a client.
15 //
16 // Reader, to read numeric response code lines,
17 // key: value headers, lines wrapped with leading spaces
18 // on continuation lines, and whole text blocks ending
19 // with a dot on a line by itself.
20 //
21 // Writer, to write dot-encoded text blocks.
22 //
23 // Conn, a convenient packaging of Reader, Writer, and Pipeline for use
24 // with a single network connection.
25 //
