This adds the following helpers:
* WaitLength waits until the buffer is non-empty or a context is canceled.
It supports batchDelays so that even if data is ready, it blocks
until the delay is over. This is useful for how we upload logs for iOS,
where we deliberately wait a few minutes to reduce wakeup costs.
* DiscardOversize asynchronously discards data in the buffer
once it exceeds the specified maxSize. It takes in an optional frameLen
to ensure discarding maintains consistent frames in the buffer.
This avoids known problems with today's ring buffer where we can get
torn frames that lead to silent data corruption.
An alternative approach would be to synchronously delete data upon
an oversize condition at Write time, but there are two reasons
not to do that:
1. Doing requires teaching each Buffer implementation about
the concept of framing, which the interface deliberately avoids.
2. We want the write path to be extremely fast as we never want to
be blocking production logic. Going over maxSize momentarily is
considered a better tradeoff than synchronously blocking writes.
* StreamReader converts a non-blocking Buffer reader into a blocking one.
This exists primarily for debugging where you can simply stream
the entirety of a buffer to stdout.
We also adjust the package to avoid wrapping io.EOF and ErrEmpty
as those are sentinel errors with very specific meanings.

Tailscale
Private WireGuard® networks made easy
Overview
This repository contains the majority of Tailscale's open source code.
Notably, it includes the tailscaled daemon and
the tailscale CLI tool. The tailscaled daemon runs on Linux, Windows,
macOS, and to varying degrees
on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. The Tailscale iOS and Android apps use this repo's
code, but this repo doesn't contain the mobile GUI code.
Other Tailscale repos of note:
- the Android app is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-android
- the Synology package is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-synology
- the QNAP package is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-qpkg
- the Chocolatey packaging is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-chocolatey
For background on which parts of Tailscale are open source and why, see https://tailscale.com/opensource/.
Using
We serve packages for a variety of distros and platforms at https://pkgs.tailscale.com.
Other clients
The macOS, iOS, and Windows clients use the code in this repository but additionally include small GUI wrappers. The GUI wrappers on non-open source platforms are themselves not open source.
Building
We always require the latest Go release, currently Go 1.26. (While we build releases with our Go fork, its use is not required.)
go install tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale{,d}
If you're packaging Tailscale for distribution, use build_dist.sh
instead, to burn commit IDs and version info into the binaries:
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscaled
If your distro has conventions that preclude the use of
build_dist.sh, please do the equivalent of what it does in your
distro's way, so that bug reports contain useful version information.
Bugs
Please file any issues about this code or the hosted service on the issue tracker.
Contributing
PRs welcome! But please file bugs. Commit messages should reference bugs.
We require Developer Certificate of
Origin
Signed-off-by lines in commits.
