+// The Buffers fields represents a list of contiguous buffers, which

+// When writing, the Buffers field must contain at least one byte to
+// write.
+// When reading, the Buffers field will always contain a byte to read.
+//
+// The OOB field contains protocol-specific control or miscellaneous
+// ancillary data known as out-of-band data.
+// It can be nil when not required.
+//
+// The Addr field specifies a destination address when writing.
+// It can be nil when the underlying protocol of the endpoint uses
+// connection-oriented communication.
+// After a successful read, it may contain the source address on the
+// received packet.
+//
+// The N field indicates the number of bytes read or written from/to
+// Buffers.
+//
+// The NN field indicates the number of bytes read or written from/to
+// OOB.
