Number Formatting

Multiprecision decimal numbers. For floating-point formatting only; not general purpose. Only operations are assign and (binary) left/right shift. Can do binary floating point in multiprecision decimal precisely because 2 divides 10; cannot do decimal floating point in multiprecision binary precisely. Package decimal implements an arbitrary precision fixed-point decimal. To use as part of a struct: The zero-value of a Decimal is 0, as you would expect. The best way to create a new Decimal is to use decimal.NewFromString, ex: NOTE: This can "only" represent numbers with a maximum of 2^31 digits after the decimal point. Multiprecision decimal numbers. For floating-point formatting only; not general purpose. Only operations are assign and (binary) left/right shift. Can do binary floating point in multiprecision decimal precisely because 2 divides 10; cannot do decimal floating point in multiprecision binary precisely.

Package i18n offers the following basic internationalization functionality: There's more we'd like to add in the future, including: In order to interact with this package, you must first get a TranslatorFactory instace. Through the TranslatorFactory, you can get a Translator instance. Almost everything in this package is accessed through methods on the Translator struct. About the rules and messages paths: This package ships with built-in rules, and you are welcome to use those directly. However, if there are locales or rules that are missing from what ships directly with this package, or if you desire to use different rules than those that ship with this package, then you can specify additional rules paths. At this time, this package does not ship with built-in messages, other than a few used for the unit tests. You will need to specify your own messages path(s). For both rules and messages paths, you can specify multiple. Paths later in the slice take precedence over packages earlier in the slice. For a basic example of getting a TranslatorFactory instance: For simple message translation, use the Translate function, and send an empty map as the second argument (we'll explain that argument in the next section). You can also pass placeholder values to the translate function. That's what the second argument is for. In this example, we will inject a username into the translation. You can also translate strings with plurals. However, any one message can contain at most one plural. If you want to translate "I need 5 apples and 3 oranges" you are out of luck. The Pluralize method takes 3 arguments. The first is the message key - just like the Translate method. The second argument is a float which is used to determine which plural form to use. The third is a string representation of the number. Why two arguments for the number instead of one? This allows you ultimate flexibility in number formatting to use in the translation while eliminating the need for string number parsing. You can use the "FomatNumber", "FormatCurrency" and "FormatPercent" methods to do locale-based number formatting for numbers, currencies and percentages. If you need to sort a list of strings alphabetically, then you should not use a simple string comparison to do so - this will often result in incorrect results. "ȧ" would normally evaluate as greater than "z", which is not correct in any latin writing system alphabet. Use can use the Sort method on the Translator struct to do an alphabetic sorting that is correct for that locale. Alternatively, you can access the SortUniversal and the SortLocale functions directly without a Translator instance. SortUniversal does not take a specific locale into account when doing the alphabetic sorting, which means it might be slightly less accurate than the SortLocal function. However, there are cases in which the collation rules for a specific locale are unknown, or the sorting needs to be done in a local-agnostic way. For these cases, the SortUniversal function performs a unicode normalization in order to best sort the strings. In order to be flexible, these functions take a generic interface slice and a function for retrieving the value on which to perform the sorting. For example: When getting a Translator instance, the TranslatorFactory will automatically attempt to determine an appropriate fallback Translator for the locale you specify. For locales with specific "flavors", like "en-au" or "zh-hans", the "vanilla" version of that locale will be used if it exists. In these cases that would be "en" and "zh". When creating a TranslatorFactory instance, you can optionally specify a final fallback locale. This will be used if it exists. When determining a fallback, the the factory first checks the less specific versions of the specified locale, if they exist and will ultimate fallback to the global fallback if specified. All of the examples above conveniently ignore errors. We recommend that you DO handle errors. The system is designed to give you a valid result if at all possible, even in errors occur in the process. However, the errors are still returned and may provide you helpful information you might otherwise miss - like missing files, file permissions problems, yaml format problems, missing translations, etc. We recommend that you do some sort of logging of these errors.

Package edb implements a document database on top of a key-value store (in this case, on top of Bolt). We implement: 1. Tables, collection of arbitrary documents marshaled from the given struct. 2. Indices, allowing quick lookup of table data by custom values. 3. Maps, exposing raw key-value buckets with string keys and untyped values. 4. Singleton Keys, allowing to store a typed value for a given key within a map (say, a “config” value in a “globals” map). **Buckets.** We rely on scoped namespaces for keys called buckets. Bolt supports them natively. A flat database like Redis could simulate buckets via key prefixes. We use nested buckets in Bolt, but only for conveninece; flat buckets are fine. **Index ordinal** We assign a unique positive integer ordinal to each index. These values are never reused, even if an index is removed. **Table states** We store a meta document per table, called “table state”. This document holds the information about which indexes are defined for the table, and assigns a (an ordinal) to each one. Ordinals are never reused as indexes are removed and added. ## Binary encoding **Key encoding**. Keys are encoded using a _tuple encoding_. **Value**: value header, then encoded data, then encoded index key records. **Value header**: 1. Flags (uvarint). 2. Schema version (uvarint). 3. Data size (uvarint). 3. Index size (uvarint). **Value data**: msgpack of the row struct. **Index key records** (inside a value) record the keys contributed by this row. If index computation changes in the future, we still need to know which index keys to delete when updating the row, so we store all index keys. Format: 1. Number of entries (uvarint). 2. For each entry: index ordinal (uvarint), key length (uvarint), key bytes.

Package blackfriday is a markdown processor. It translates plain text with simple formatting rules into an AST, which can then be further processed to HTML (provided by Blackfriday itself) or other formats (provided by the community). The simplest way to invoke Blackfriday is to call the Run function. It will take a text input and produce a text output in HTML (or other format). A slightly more sophisticated way to use Blackfriday is to create a Markdown processor and to call Parse, which returns a syntax tree for the input document. You can leverage Blackfriday's parsing for content extraction from markdown documents. You can assign a custom renderer and set various options to the Markdown processor. If you're interested in calling Blackfriday from command line, see https://github.com/russross/blackfriday-tool. Blackfriday includes an algorithm for creating sanitized anchor names corresponding to a given input text. This algorithm is used to create anchors for headings when AutoHeadingIDs extension is enabled. The algorithm is specified below, so that other packages can create compatible anchor names and links to those anchors. The algorithm iterates over the input text, interpreted as UTF-8, one Unicode code point (rune) at a time. All runes that are letters (category L) or numbers (category N) are considered valid characters. They are mapped to lower case, and included in the output. All other runes are considered invalid characters. Invalid characters that precede the first valid character, as well as invalid character that follow the last valid character are dropped completely. All other sequences of invalid characters between two valid characters are replaced with a single dash character '-'. SanitizedAnchorName exposes this functionality, and can be used to create compatible links to the anchor names generated by blackfriday. This algorithm is also implemented in a small standalone package at github.com/shurcooL/sanitized_anchor_name. It can be useful for clients that want a small package and don't need full functionality of blackfriday.

Package simplehttp provides a simple interface for sending HTTP responses from within an HTTP handler. Basic Example Note that in that example, 3 different HTTP responses were shown: "400 Bad Request", "500 Internal Server Error" and "200 OK". And perhaps more importantly, each of those was just one line of code! :-) By default, simplehttp will send something sensible to the HTTP client as content in the HTTP response. However, sometimes we may want to include more data in the content of the HTTP response. For example, a very simple "200 OK" would be.... Code: Response: The response is simple and sensible. And for may cases it may be sufficient. But in some instances, we may want to include more data. There are a number of different ways to include more data. One way is this: Code: Response: (Note the "name" and "age" fields.) That previous example used a map. Another way to accomplish the same thing is using a struct, as in: Code: Response: The previous examples all used JSON. Other formats are available. (And 3rd parties can even create their own custom formats or replace the existing ones.) For the next set of examples, we will switch to sending a "404 Not Found" HTTP response back to the HTTP client from our ServeHTTP method. So first, here is a JSON response: That JSON content in the response would look like: Instead of JSON we could also alternatively send XML content with code like the following: That XML content in the response would look like: And, instead of XML and JSON, we could send simple HTML with code like the following: That HTML content in the response would look like: This HTML may not be sufficient for our needs. In the case where we want a lot of control of the content send to the HTTP client, we could create a new driver. For many needs, such for a HTTP-based (or HTTPS-based) backend API, the builtin drivers (that output JSON, XML, HTML, etc) are enough. But sometimes we will want more control of the output. In those case we will create a custom driver. A driver implements the simplehttpdriver.Responder interface. (Note, this should not be confused with the simplehttp.Responder interface, which is different.) Here is an example JSON driver that instead of using snake_case for the default JSON field names, uses camelCase: To made use of with, we would use code like the following: (Note that we called the simplehttp.New func, instead of the simplehttp.Load func.) Although for the times we create a custom driver, many of those times we would not want to do the following, sometimes you we may want to register our custom driver so we can make it available to the simplehttp.Load func. To register a custom driver we would do something like the following: It would then be available to load like with the following:

Package gofpdf implements a PDF document generator with high level support for text, drawing and images. • Choice of measurement unit, page format and margins • Page header and footer management • Automatic page breaks, line breaks, and text justification • Inclusion of JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF and basic path-only SVG images • Colors, gradients and alpha channel transparency • Outline bookmarks • Internal and external links • TrueType, Type1 and encoding support • Page compression • Lines, Bézier curves, arcs, and ellipses • Rotation, scaling, skewing, translation, and mirroring • Clipping • Document protection • Layers • Templates • Barcodes gofpdf has no dependencies other than the Go standard library. All tests pass on Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. Like FPDF version 1.7, from which gofpdf is derived, this package does not yet support UTF-8 fonts. In particular, languages that require more than one code page such as Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic are not currently supported. This is explained in issue 109. However, support is provided to automatically translate UTF-8 runes to code page encodings for languages that have fewer than 256 glyphs. To install the package on your system, run Later, to receive updates, run The following Go code generates a simple PDF file. See the functions in the fpdf_test.go file (shown as examples in this documentation) for more advanced PDF examples. If an error occurs in an Fpdf method, an internal error field is set. After this occurs, Fpdf method calls typically return without performing any operations and the error state is retained. This error management scheme facilitates PDF generation since individual method calls do not need to be examined for failure; it is generally sufficient to wait until after Output() is called. For the same reason, if an error occurs in the calling application during PDF generation, it may be desirable for the application to transfer the error to the Fpdf instance by calling the SetError() method or the SetErrorf() method. At any time during the life cycle of the Fpdf instance, the error state can be determined with a call to Ok() or Err(). The error itself can be retrieved with a call to Error(). This package is a relatively straightforward translation from the original FPDF library written in PHP (despite the caveat in the introduction to Effective Go). The API names have been retained even though the Go idiom would suggest otherwise (for example, pdf.GetX() is used rather than simply pdf.X()). The similarity of the two libraries makes the original FPDF website a good source of information. It includes a forum and FAQ. However, some internal changes have been made. Page content is built up using buffers (of type bytes.Buffer) rather than repeated string concatenation. Errors are handled as explained above rather than panicking. Output is generated through an interface of type io.Writer or io.WriteCloser. A number of the original PHP methods behave differently based on the type of the arguments that are passed to them; in these cases additional methods have been exported to provide similar functionality. Font definition files are produced in JSON rather than PHP. A side effect of running "go test ./..." is the production of a number of example PDFs. These can be found in the gofpdf/pdf directory after the tests complete. Please note that these examples run in the context of a test. In order run an example as a standalone application, you'll need to examine fpdf_test.go for some helper routines, for example exampleFilename() and summary(). Example PDFs can be compared with reference copies in order to verify that they have been generated as expected. This comparison will be performed if a PDF with the same name as the example PDF is placed in the gofpdf/pdf/reference directory. The routine that summarizes an example will look for this file and, if found, will call ComparePDFFiles() to check the example PDF for equality with its reference PDF. If differences exist between the two files they will be printed to standard output and the test will fail. If the reference file is missing, the comparison is considered to succeed. In order to successfully compare two PDFs, the placement of internal resources must be consistent and the internal creation timestamps must be the same. To do this, the methods SetCatalogSort() and SetCreationDate() need to be called for both files. This is done automatically for all examples. Nothing special is required to use the standard PDF fonts (courier, helvetica, times, zapfdingbats) in your documents other than calling SetFont(). In order to use a different TrueType or Type1 font, you will need to generate a font definition file and, if the font will be embedded into PDFs, a compressed version of the font file. This is done by calling the MakeFont function or using the included makefont command line utility. To create the utility, cd into the makefont subdirectory and run "go build". This will produce a standalone executable named makefont. Select the appropriate encoding file from the font subdirectory and run the command as in the following example. In your PDF generation code, call AddFont() to load the font and, as with the standard fonts, SetFont() to begin using it. Most examples, including the package example, demonstrate this method. Good sources of free, open-source fonts include http://www.google.com/fonts/ and http://dejavu-fonts.org/. The draw2d package (https://github.com/llgcode/draw2d) is a two dimensional vector graphics library that can generate output in different forms. It uses gofpdf for its document production mode. gofpdf is a global community effort and you are invited to make it even better. If you have implemented a new feature or corrected a problem, please consider contributing your change to the project. A contribution that does not directly pertain to the core functionality of gofpdf should be placed in its own directory directly beneath the `contrib` directory. Here are guidelines for making submissions. Your change should • be compatible with the MIT License • be properly documented • be formatted with `go fmt` • include an example in fpdf_test.go if appropriate • conform to the standards of golint (https://github.com/golang/lint) and go vet (https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/vet), that is, `golint .` and `go vet .` should not generate any warnings • not diminish test coverage (https://blog.golang.org/cover) Pull requests (https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) work nicely as a means of contributing your changes. gofpdf is released under the MIT License. It is copyrighted by Kurt Jung and the contributors acknowledged below. This package's code and documentation are closely derived from the FPDF library (http://www.fpdf.org/) created by Olivier Plathey, and a number of font and image resources are copied directly from it. Drawing support is adapted from the FPDF geometric figures script by David Hernández Sanz. Transparency support is adapted from the FPDF transparency script by Martin Hall-May. Support for gradients and clipping is adapted from FPDF scripts by Andreas Würmser. Support for outline bookmarks is adapted from Olivier Plathey by Manuel Cornes. Layer support is adapted from Olivier Plathey. Support for transformations is adapted from the FPDF transformation script by Moritz Wagner and Andreas Würmser. PDF protection is adapted from the work of Klemen Vodopivec for the FPDF product. Lawrence Kesteloot provided code to allow an image's extent to be determined prior to placement. Support for vertical alignment within a cell was provided by Stefan Schroeder. Ivan Daniluk generalized the font and image loading code to use the Reader interface while maintaining backward compatibility. Anthony Starks provided code for the Polygon function. Robert Lillack provided the Beziergon function and corrected some naming issues with the internal curve function. Claudio Felber provided implementations for dashed line drawing and generalized font loading. Stani Michiels provided support for multi-segment path drawing with smooth line joins, line join styles, enhanced fill modes, and has helped greatly with package presentation and tests. Templating is adapted by Marcus Downing from the FPDF_Tpl library created by Jan Slabon and Setasign. Jelmer Snoeck contributed packages that generate a variety of barcodes and help with registering images on the web. Jelmer Snoek and Guillermo Pascual augmented the basic HTML functionality with aligned text. Kent Quirk implemented backwards-compatible support for reading DPI from images that support it, and for setting DPI manually and then having it properly taken into account when calculating image size. Paulo Coutinho provided support for static embedded fonts. Bruno Michel has provided valuable assistance with the code. • Handle UTF-8 source text natively. Until then, automatic translation of UTF-8 runes to code page bytes is provided. • Improve test coverage as reported by the coverage tool. This example demonstrates the generation of a simple PDF document. Note that since only core fonts are used (in this case Arial, a synonym for Helvetica), an empty string can be specified for the font directory in the call to New(). Note also that the example.Filename() and example.Summary() functions belong to a separate, internal package and are not part of the gofpdf library. If an error occurs at some point during the construction of the document, subsequent method calls exit immediately and the error is finally retrieved with the output call where it can be handled by the application.

Package zen is an utility-first package that provides a set of commonly used functions, helpers and extensions. Most of the functions are adapted to be used with `html/template`. We had too many cases of copy-pasting the same code between projects over and over again. So we decided to combine it all in one place. Library provides basic aggregative functions. Library provides simple arithmetic functions for sets of values: Sum, Sub, Mul, Div. Main point is to provide runtime template functions (which are missing in the built-in `html/template`). See Funcmap section for details. Library provides a way to define and run asynchronous functions. It's based on Go's standard goroutines and channels. Future object holds value channel and error. It's used as an awaitable object. As far as Go is not provides any async/await syntax, your function must to return a Future, provided by Async function. Zen provides a generic atomic wrapper, based on RWMutex. Usually, actions are performed with Get and Set methods. For complex cases (like simultaneous Get and Set), Atomic provides a Context method which allows to pass a function and lock a mutex for the duration of the function. Library provides a comfortable way to work with slices casting ([]any). Library provides a simple helper functions to handle error cases, like Must or Ignore. Library provides an utilities funcmap to be attached to template rendering. See FuncMap variable for details. Zen provides some useful non-standard string formatting functions. Logical expressions from another languages, but missing in Go. Unfortunately, it's not syntax-level feature. That's why you can't use conditional code execution here. Some generic functions for basic slice operations. Library provides a set of wrappers and builder in addition to default net/http package. RequestBuilder is a builder with an ability to chain request definition and execution. You can initialize RequestBuilder with zen.Request function. It allows to set query, headers, body, almost everything in single line of code. Supports both setting values with structs/maps and native values (like url.Values for query). As far as RequestBuilder have an option to return *ResponseWrapper, you can chain both request building and response processing into single line. ResponseWrapper is a wrapper with an ability to chain response processing. You can initialize ResponseWrapper with a zen.Response function. It allows to operate with wrapped response in a more convenient way. Check status code, dump response to stdout for debug, convert body into map or decode directly into value. Almost everything in single line of code. Library provides a number of functions that can be used to transform data into different types and forms. Most of these functions are working with base data types.

Package promptui is a library providing a simple interface to create command-line prompts for go. It can be easily integrated into spf13/cobra, urfave/cli or any cli go application. promptui has two main input modes: Prompt provides a single line for user input. It supports optional live validation, confirmation and masking the input. Select provides a list of options to choose from. It supports pagination, search, detailed view and custom templates. This is an example for the Prompt mode of promptui. In this example, a prompt is created with a validator function that validates the given value to make sure its a number. If successful, it will output the chosen number in a formatted message. This is an example for the Select mode of promptui. In this example, a select is created with the days of the week as its items. When an item is selected, the selected day will be displayed in a formatted message.

Package gcfg reads "INI-style" text-based configuration files with "name=value" pairs grouped into sections (gcfg files). This package is still a work in progress; see the sections below for planned changes. The syntax is based on that used by git config: http://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#_syntax . There are some (planned) differences compared to the git config format: The functions in this package read values into a user-defined struct. Each section corresponds to a struct field in the config struct, and each variable in a section corresponds to a data field in the section struct. The mapping of each section or variable name to fields is done either based on the "gcfg" struct tag or by matching the name of the section or variable, ignoring case. In the latter case, hyphens '-' in section and variable names correspond to underscores '_' in field names. Fields must be exported; to use a section or variable name starting with a letter that is neither upper- or lower-case, prefix the field name with 'X'. (See https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=5763#c4 .) For sections with subsections, the corresponding field in config must be a map, rather than a struct, with string keys and pointer-to-struct values. Values for subsection variables are stored in the map with the subsection name used as the map key. (Note that unlike section and variable names, subsection names are case sensitive.) When using a map, and there is a section with the same section name but without a subsection name, its values are stored with the empty string used as the key. It is possible to provide default values for subsections in the section "default-<sectionname>" (or by setting values in the corresponding struct field "Default_<sectionname>"). The functions in this package panic if config is not a pointer to a struct, or when a field is not of a suitable type (either a struct or a map with string keys and pointer-to-struct values). The section structs in the config struct may contain single-valued or multi-valued variables. Variables of unnamed slice type (that is, a type starting with `[]`) are treated as multi-value; all others (including named slice types) are treated as single-valued variables. Single-valued variables are handled based on the type as follows. Unnamed pointer types (that is, types starting with `*`) are dereferenced, and if necessary, a new instance is allocated. For types implementing the encoding.TextUnmarshaler interface, the UnmarshalText method is used to set the value. Implementing this method is the recommended way for parsing user-defined types. For fields of string kind, the value string is assigned to the field, after unquoting and unescaping as needed. For fields of bool kind, the field is set to true if the value is "true", "yes", "on" or "1", and set to false if the value is "false", "no", "off" or "0", ignoring case. In addition, single-valued bool fields can be specified with a "blank" value (variable name without equals sign and value); in such case the value is set to true. Predefined integer types [u]int(|8|16|32|64) and big.Int are parsed as decimal or hexadecimal (if having '0x' prefix). (This is to prevent unintuitively handling zero-padded numbers as octal.) Other types having [u]int* as the underlying type, such as os.FileMode and uintptr allow decimal, hexadecimal, or octal values. Parsing mode for integer types can be overridden using the struct tag option ",int=mode" where mode is a combination of the 'd', 'h', and 'o' characters (each standing for decimal, hexadecimal, and octal, respectively.) All other types are parsed using fmt.Sscanf with the "%v" verb. For multi-valued variables, each individual value is parsed as above and appended to the slice. If the first value is specified as a "blank" value (variable name without equals sign and value), a new slice is allocated; that is any values previously set in the slice will be ignored. The types subpackage for provides helpers for parsing "enum-like" and integer types. There are 3 types of errors: Programmer errors trigger panics. These are should be fixed by the programmer before releasing code that uses gcfg. Data errors cause gcfg to return a non-nil error value. This includes the case when there are extra unknown key-value definitions in the configuration data (extra data). However, in some occasions it is desirable to be able to proceed in situations when the only data error is that of extra data. These errors are handled at a different (warning) priority and can be filtered out programmatically. To ignore extra data warnings, wrap the gcfg.Read*Into invocation into a call to gcfg.FatalOnly. The following is a list of changes under consideration:

Package pyfmt implements Python's advanced string formatting in Golang. This is an alternative to the `fmt` package's Sprintf-style string formatting and mimics the .format() style formatting available in Python >2.6. Under the hood, it still uses the go 'fmt' library, for better compatibility with Go types at the expense of not being as exact of a clone of Python format strings. Braces {} are used to indicate 'format items', anything outside of braces will be emitted directly into the output string, and anything inside will be used to get values from the other function arguments and format them. The one exception is double braces, '{{' and '}}', which will cause literal '{' and '}' runes to be emitted in the output. Each format item consists of a 'field name', which indicates which value from the argument list to use, and a 'format specifier', which indicates how to format that item. Requires Golang 1.5 or newer. pyfmt implements three functions, 'Fmt', 'Must', and 'Error'. 'Fmt' formats, but may return an error as detailed below. 'Must' formats, but will panic when 'Fmt' would return an error, and 'Error' acts like 'Fmt', but returns an error type. In the event that there's an error formatting the error, 'Error' includes the format error and as much of the formatted string as possible. All of them take a format string and arguments to be used in formatting that string. Values can be fetched from field names in two forms: simple names or compound names. All compound names build off of simple names. Simple field names: The simplest look up treats the argument list as just a list. There are two possible ways to look up elements from this list. First, by {}, which gets the 'next' item and by {n}, which gets the nth item. Accessing these two ways is independent, and is equivalent to Accessing an element that's outside the list range will return an error (with Fmt) or panic (with Must). The first element in the list is treated specially if it's a struct or a map with string keys, allowing the elements from that struct or map can be directly accessed. For instance: similarly for structs: Attempting to read from an undefined key will return an error or panic, depending on if it was accessed with Fmt or Must. Compound field names: If the value referenced by the field is itself a List, map[string]interface{}, or struct, it can be further accessed in the format string. Lists are accessed with square brackets: similarly, maps are accessed with square brackets: and struct fields are accessed with a period ('.') If after a simple or complex field name, there's a ':', what follows is considered to be the format specifier. If a type satisfies the PyFormat interface (discussed below), the format specifier will be passed to that, but otherwise, it will fall back to the default formatter, which expects the standard format specifier: The optional align feature can be one of the following: If an align flag is defined, a 'fill' character can also be defined. If undefined, space (' ') will be used. The optional 'sign' is only valid for numeric types and can be: If # is present, when using the binary, octal, or hex types, a '0b', '0o', or '0x' will be prepended, respectively. The minimumwidth field specifies a minimum width, which is helpful when used with alignment. If preceded with a zero, numbers will be zero-padded. The precision field specifies a maximum width for non-floating point, non-integer types, and the number of points to show after the decimal point for floating types. The 'type' format determines what type the value will be formatted as. For integers: For floats and complex numbers: For some types (most notably structs), the default formatter doesn't quite give enough information to understand the value after its printed, so it's useful to get more accurate Go representations. Additionally, sometimes it's useful to print the type of a variable while formatting it. For these, pyfmt allows for some special formatting types that aren't in the Python format syntax. These are equivalent to the `%#v`, `%T` and `%+v` format strings in the "fmt" package, but don't have an exact equivalent in Python. Internally, pyfmt uses Go's fmt package, so existing types satisfying its Formatter, GoStringer, or Stringer interfaces will use those implementations as appropriate. If the type satisfies the PyFormatter interface, the format specifier will be passed to that function, for custom formatting. Due to the limits of Golang reflection, if accessing a struct sub-field that has a custom formatter, the struct field must be exported for pyfmt to access the custom Formatter. This is similar to the default 'fmt' package, which doesn't apply custom Stringer implementations to unexported struct fields. TODOs

Package goworker is a Resque-compatible, Go-based background worker. It allows you to push jobs into a queue using an expressive language like Ruby while harnessing the efficiency and concurrency of Go to minimize job latency and cost. goworker workers can run alongside Ruby Resque clients so that you can keep all but your most resource-intensive jobs in Ruby. To create a worker, write a function matching the signature and register it using Here is a simple worker that prints its arguments: To create workers that share a database pool or other resources, use a closure to share variables. goworker worker functions receive the queue they are serving and a slice of interfaces. To use them as parameters to other functions, use Go type assertions to convert them into usable types. For testing, it is helpful to use the redis-cli program to insert jobs onto the Redis queue: will insert 100 jobs for the MyClass worker onto the myqueue queue. It is equivalent to: After building your workers, you will have an executable that you can run which will automatically poll a Redis server and call your workers as jobs arrive. There are several flags which control the operation of the goworker client. -queues="comma,delimited,queues" — This is the only required flag. The recommended practice is to separate your Resque workers from your goworkers with different queues. Otherwise, Resque worker classes that have no goworker analog will cause the goworker process to fail the jobs. Because of this, there is no default queue, nor is there a way to select all queues (à la Resque's * queue). Queues are processed in the order they are specififed. If you have multiple queues you can assign them weights. A queue with a weight of 2 will be checked twice as often as a queue with a weight of 1: -queues='high=2,low=1'. -interval=5.0 — Specifies the wait period between polling if no job was in the queue the last time one was requested. -concurrency=25 — Specifies the number of concurrently executing workers. This number can be as low as 1 or rather comfortably as high as 100,000, and should be tuned to your workflow and the availability of outside resources. -connections=2 — Specifies the maximum number of Redis connections that goworker will consume between the poller and all workers. There is not much performance gain over two and a slight penalty when using only one. This is configurable in case you need to keep connection counts low for cloud Redis providers who limit plans on maxclients. -uri=redis://localhost:6379/ — Specifies the URI of the Redis database from which goworker polls for jobs. Accepts URIs of the format redis://user:pass@host:port/db or unix:///path/to/redis.sock. The flag may also be set by the environment variable $($REDIS_PROVIDER) or $REDIS_URL. E.g. set $REDIS_PROVIDER to REDISTOGO_URL on Heroku to let the Redis To Go add-on configure the Redis database. -namespace=resque: — Specifies the namespace from which goworker retrieves jobs and stores stats on workers. -exit-on-complete=false — Exits goworker when there are no jobs left in the queue. This is helpful in conjunction with the time command to benchmark different configurations. -use-number=false — Uses json.Number when decoding numbers in the job payloads. This will avoid issues that occur when goworker and the json package decode large numbers as floats, which then get encoded in scientific notation, losing pecision. This will default to true soon. You can also configure your own flags for use within your workers. Be sure to set them before calling goworker.Main(). It is okay to call flags.Parse() before calling goworker.Main() if you need to do additional processing on your flags. To stop goworker, send a QUIT, TERM, or INT signal to the process. This will immediately stop job polling. There can be up to $CONCURRENCY jobs currently running, which will continue to run until they are finished. Like Resque, goworker makes no guarantees about the safety of jobs in the event of process shutdown. Workers must be both idempotent and tolerant to loss of the job in the event of failure. If the process is killed with a KILL or by a system failure, there may be one job that is currently in the poller's buffer that will be lost without any representation in either the queue or the worker variable. If you are running Goworker on a system like Heroku, which sends a TERM to signal a process that it needs to stop, ten seconds later sends a KILL to force the process to stop, your jobs must finish within 10 seconds or they may be lost. Jobs will be recoverable from the Redis database under as a JSON object with keys queue, run_at, and payload, but the process is manual. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the job in Redis under the worker key has not finished, if the process is killed before goworker can flush the update to Redis.

Package log15 provides an opinionated, simple toolkit for best-practice logging that is both human and machine readable. It is modeled after the standard library's io and net/http packages. This package enforces you to only log key/value pairs. Keys must be strings. Values may be any type that you like. The default output format is logfmt, but you may also choose to use JSON instead if that suits you. Here's how you log: This will output a line that looks like: To get started, you'll want to import the library: Now you're ready to start logging: Because recording a human-meaningful message is common and good practice, the first argument to every logging method is the value to the *implicit* key 'msg'. Additionally, the level you choose for a message will be automatically added with the key 'lvl', and so will the current timestamp with key 't'. You may supply any additional context as a set of key/value pairs to the logging function. log15 allows you to favor terseness, ordering, and speed over safety. This is a reasonable tradeoff for logging functions. You don't need to explicitly state keys/values, log15 understands that they alternate in the variadic argument list: If you really do favor your type-safety, you may choose to pass a log.Ctx instead: Frequently, you want to add context to a logger so that you can track actions associated with it. An http request is a good example. You can easily create new loggers that have context that is automatically included with each log line: This will output a log line that includes the path context that is attached to the logger: The Handler interface defines where log lines are printed to and how they are formated. Handler is a single interface that is inspired by net/http's handler interface: Handlers can filter records, format them, or dispatch to multiple other Handlers. This package implements a number of Handlers for common logging patterns that are easily composed to create flexible, custom logging structures. Here's an example handler that prints logfmt output to Stdout: Here's an example handler that defers to two other handlers. One handler only prints records from the rpc package in logfmt to standard out. The other prints records at Error level or above in JSON formatted output to the file /var/log/service.json This package implements three Handlers that add debugging information to the context, CallerFileHandler, CallerFuncHandler and CallerStackHandler. Here's an example that adds the source file and line number of each logging call to the context. This will output a line that looks like: Here's an example that logs the call stack rather than just the call site. This will output a line that looks like: The "%+v" format instructs the handler to include the path of the source file relative to the compile time GOPATH. The github.com/go-stack/stack package documents the full list of formatting verbs and modifiers available. The Handler interface is so simple that it's also trivial to write your own. Let's create an example handler which tries to write to one handler, but if that fails it falls back to writing to another handler and includes the error that it encountered when trying to write to the primary. This might be useful when trying to log over a network socket, but if that fails you want to log those records to a file on disk. This pattern is so useful that a generic version that handles an arbitrary number of Handlers is included as part of this library called FailoverHandler. Sometimes, you want to log values that are extremely expensive to compute, but you don't want to pay the price of computing them if you haven't turned up your logging level to a high level of detail. This package provides a simple type to annotate a logging operation that you want to be evaluated lazily, just when it is about to be logged, so that it would not be evaluated if an upstream Handler filters it out. Just wrap any function which takes no arguments with the log.Lazy type. For example: If this message is not logged for any reason (like logging at the Error level), then factorRSAKey is never evaluated. The same log.Lazy mechanism can be used to attach context to a logger which you want to be evaluated when the message is logged, but not when the logger is created. For example, let's imagine a game where you have Player objects: You always want to log a player's name and whether they're alive or dead, so when you create the player object, you might do: Only now, even after a player has died, the logger will still report they are alive because the logging context is evaluated when the logger was created. By using the Lazy wrapper, we can defer the evaluation of whether the player is alive or not to each log message, so that the log records will reflect the player's current state no matter when the log message is written: If log15 detects that stdout is a terminal, it will configure the default handler for it (which is log.StdoutHandler) to use TerminalFormat. This format logs records nicely for your terminal, including color-coded output based on log level. Becasuse log15 allows you to step around the type system, there are a few ways you can specify invalid arguments to the logging functions. You could, for example, wrap something that is not a zero-argument function with log.Lazy or pass a context key that is not a string. Since logging libraries are typically the mechanism by which errors are reported, it would be onerous for the logging functions to return errors. Instead, log15 handles errors by making these guarantees to you: - Any log record containing an error will still be printed with the error explained to you as part of the log record. - Any log record containing an error will include the context key LOG15_ERROR, enabling you to easily (and if you like, automatically) detect if any of your logging calls are passing bad values. Understanding this, you might wonder why the Handler interface can return an error value in its Log method. Handlers are encouraged to return errors only if they fail to write their log records out to an external source like if the syslog daemon is not responding. This allows the construction of useful handlers which cope with those failures like the FailoverHandler. log15 is intended to be useful for library authors as a way to provide configurable logging to users of their library. Best practice for use in a library is to always disable all output for your logger by default and to provide a public Logger instance that consumers of your library can configure. Like so: Users of your library may then enable it if they like: The ability to attach context to a logger is a powerful one. Where should you do it and why? I favor embedding a Logger directly into any persistent object in my application and adding unique, tracing context keys to it. For instance, imagine I am writing a web browser: When a new tab is created, I assign a logger to it with the url of the tab as context so it can easily be traced through the logs. Now, whenever we perform any operation with the tab, we'll log with its embedded logger and it will include the tab title automatically: There's only one problem. What if the tab url changes? We could use log.Lazy to make sure the current url is always written, but that would mean that we couldn't trace a tab's full lifetime through our logs after the user navigate to a new URL. Instead, think about what values to attach to your loggers the same way you think about what to use as a key in a SQL database schema. If it's possible to use a natural key that is unique for the lifetime of the object, do so. But otherwise, log15's ext package has a handy RandId function to let you generate what you might call "surrogate keys" They're just random hex identifiers to use for tracing. Back to our Tab example, we would prefer to set up our Logger like so: Now we'll have a unique traceable identifier even across loading new urls, but we'll still be able to see the tab's current url in the log messages. For all Handler functions which can return an error, there is a version of that function which will return no error but panics on failure. They are all available on the Must object. For example: All of the following excellent projects inspired the design of this library: code.google.com/p/log4go github.com/op/go-logging github.com/technoweenie/grohl github.com/Sirupsen/logrus github.com/kr/logfmt github.com/spacemonkeygo/spacelog golang's stdlib, notably io and net/http https://xkcd.com/927/

Understanding this, you might wonder why the Handler interface can return an error value in its Log method. Handlers are encouraged to return errors only if they fail to write their log records out to an external source like if the syslog daemon is not responding. This allows the construction of useful handlers which cope with those failures like the FailoverHandler. log15 is intended to be useful for library authors as a way to provide configurable logging to users of their library. Best practice for use in a library is to always disable all output for your logger by default and to provide a public Logger instance that consumers of your library can configure. Like so: Users of your library may then enable it if they like: The ability to attach context to a logger is a powerful one. Where should you do it and why? I favor embedding a Logger directly into any persistent object in my application and adding unique, tracing context keys to it. For instance, imagine I am writing a web browser: When a new tab is created, I assign a logger to it with the url of the tab as context so it can easily be traced through the logs. Now, whenever we perform any operation with the tab, we'll log with its embedded logger and it will include the tab title automatically: There's only one problem. What if the tab url changes? We could use log.Lazy to make sure the current url is always written, but that would mean that we couldn't trace a tab's full lifetime through our logs after the user navigate to a new URL. Instead, think about what values to attach to your loggers the same way you think about what to use as a key in a SQL database schema. If it's possible to use a natural key that is unique for the lifetime of the object, do so. But otherwise, log15's ext package has a handy RandId function to let you generate what you might call "surrogate keys" They're just random hex identifiers to use for tracing. Back to our Tab example, we would prefer to set up our Logger like so: Now we'll have a unique traceable identifier even across loading new urls, but we'll still be able to see the tab's current url in the log messages. For all Handler functions which can return an error, there is a version of that function which will return no error but panics on failure. They are all available on the Must object. For example: All of the following excellent projects inspired the design of this library: code.google.com/p/log4go github.com/op/go-logging github.com/technoweenie/grohl github.com/Sirupsen/logrus github.com/kr/logfmt github.com/spacemonkeygo/spacelog golang's stdlib, notably io and net/http https://xkcd.com/927/

Package log15 provides an opinionated, simple toolkit for best-practice logging that is both human and machine readable. It is modeled after the standard library's io and net/http packages. This package enforces you to only log key/value pairs. Keys must be strings. Values may be any type that you like. The default output format is logfmt, but you may also choose to use JSON instead if that suits you. Here's how you log: This will output a line that looks like: To get started, you'll want to import the library: Now you're ready to start logging: Because recording a human-meaningful message is common and good practice, the first argument to every logging method is the value to the *implicit* key 'msg'. Additionally, the level you choose for a message will be automatically added with the key 'lvl', and so will the current timestamp with key 't'. You may supply any additional context as a set of key/value pairs to the logging function. log15 allows you to favor terseness, ordering, and speed over safety. This is a reasonable tradeoff for logging functions. You don't need to explicitly state keys/values, log15 understands that they alternate in the variadic argument list: If you really do favor your type-safety, you may choose to pass a log.Ctx instead: Frequently, you want to add context to a logger so that you can track actions associated with it. An http request is a good example. You can easily create new loggers that have context that is automatically included with each log line: This will output a log line that includes the path context that is attached to the logger: The Handler interface defines where log lines are printed to and how they are formated. Handler is a single interface that is inspired by net/http's handler interface: Handlers can filter records, format them, or dispatch to multiple other Handlers. This package implements a number of Handlers for common logging patterns that are can be easily composed to create flexible, custom logging structures. Here's an example handler that prints logfmt output to Stdout: Here's an example handler that defers to two other handlers. One handler only prints records from the rpc package in logfmt to standard out. The other prints records at Error level or above in JSON formatted output to the file /var/log/service.json The Handler interface is so simple that it's also trivial to write your own. Let's create an example handler which tries to write to one handler, but if that fails it falls back to writing to another handler and includes the error that it encountered when trying to write to the primary. This might be useful when trying to log over a network socket, but if that fails you want to log those records to a file on disk. This pattern is so useful that a generic version that handles an arbitrary number of Handlers is included as part of this library called FailoverHandler. Sometimes, you want to log values that are extremely expensive to compute, but you don't want to pay the price of computing them if you haven't turned up your logging level to a high level of detail. This package provides a simple type to annotate a logging operation that you want to be evaluated lazily, just when it is about to be logged, so that it would not be evaluated if an upstream Handler filters it out. Just wrap any function which takes no arguments with the log.Lazy function. For example: If this message is not logged for any reason (like logging at the Error level), then factorRSAKey is never evaluated. The same log.Lazy mechanism can be used to attach context to a logger which you want to be evaluated when the message is logged, but not when the logger is created. For example, let's imagine a game where you have Player objects: You always want to log a player's name and whether they're alive or dead, so when you create the player object, you might do: Only now, even after a player has died, the logger will still report they are alive because the logging context is evaluated when the logger was created. By using the Lazy wrapper, we can defer the evaluation of whether the player is alive or not to each log message, so that the log records will reflect the player's current state no matter when the log message is written: If log15 detects that stdout is a terminal, it will configure the default handler for it (which is log.StdoutHandler) to use TerminalFormat. This format logs records nicely for your terminal, including color-coded output based on log level. Becasuse log15 allows you to step around the type system, there are a few ways you can specify invalid arguments to the logging functions. You could, for example, wrap something that is not a zero-argument function with log.Lazy or pass a context key that is not a string. Since logging libraries are typically the mechanism by which errors are reported, it would be onerous for the logging functions to return errors. Instead, log15 handles errors by making these guarantees to you: - Any log record containing an error will still be printed with the error explained to you as part of the log record. - Any log record containing an error will include the context key LOG15_ERROR, enabling you to easily (and if you like, automatically) detect if any of your logging calls are passing bad values. Understanding this, you might wonder why the Handler interface can return an error value in its Log method. Handlers are encouraged to return errors only if they fail to write their log records out to an external source like if the syslog daemon is not responding.

Package ql implements a pure Go embedded SQL database engine. QL is a member of the SQL family of languages. It is less complex and less powerful than SQL (whichever specification SQL is considered to be). 2017-01-10: Release v1.1.0 fixes some bugs and adds a configurable WAL headroom. 2016-07-29: Release v1.0.6 enables alternatively using = instead of == for equality operation. 2016-07-11: Release v1.0.5 undoes vendoring of lldb. QL now uses stable lldb (github.com/cznic/lldb). 2016-07-06: Release v1.0.4 fixes a panic when closing the WAL file. 2016-04-03: Release v1.0.3 fixes a data race. 2016-03-23: Release v1.0.2 vendors github.com/cznic/exp/lldb and github.com/camlistore/go4/lock. 2016-03-17: Release v1.0.1 adjusts for latest goyacc. Parser error messages are improved and changed, but their exact form is not considered a API change. 2016-03-05: The current version has been tagged v1.0.0. 2015-06-15: To improve compatibility with other SQL implementations, the count built-in aggregate function now accepts * as its argument. 2015-05-29: The execution planner was rewritten from scratch. It should use indices in all places where they were used before plus in some additional situations. It is possible to investigate the plan using the newly added EXPLAIN statement. The QL tool is handy for such analysis. If the planner would have used an index, but no such exists, the plan includes hints in form of copy/paste ready CREATE INDEX statements. The planner is still quite simple and a lot of work on it is yet ahead. You can help this process by filling an issue with a schema and query which fails to use an index or indices when it should, in your opinion. Bonus points for including output of `ql 'explain <query>'`. 2015-05-09: The grammar of the CREATE INDEX statement now accepts an expression list instead of a single expression, which was further limited to just a column name or the built-in id(). As a side effect, composite indices are now functional. However, the values in the expression-list style index are not yet used by other statements or the statement/query planner. The composite index is useful while having UNIQUE clause to check for semantically duplicate rows before they get added to the table or when such a row is mutated using the UPDATE statement and the expression-list style index tuple of the row is thus recomputed. 2015-05-02: The Schema field of table __Table now correctly reflects any column constraints and/or defaults. Also, the (*DB).Info method now has that information provided in new ColumInfo fields NotNull, Constraint and Default. 2015-04-20: Added support for {LEFT,RIGHT,FULL} [OUTER] JOIN. 2015-04-18: Column definitions can now have constraints and defaults. Details are discussed in the "Constraints and defaults" chapter below the CREATE TABLE statement documentation. 2015-03-06: New built-in functions formatFloat and formatInt. Thanks urandom! (https://github.com/urandom) 2015-02-16: IN predicate now accepts a SELECT statement. See the updated "Predicates" section. 2015-01-17: Logical operators || and && have now alternative spellings: OR and AND (case insensitive). AND was a keyword before, but OR is a new one. This can possibly break existing queries. For the record, it's a good idea to not use any name appearing in, for example, [7] in your queries as the list of QL's keywords may expand for gaining better compatibility with existing SQL "standards". 2015-01-12: ACID guarantees were tightened at the cost of performance in some cases. The write collecting window mechanism, a formerly used implementation detail, was removed. Inserting rows one by one in a transaction is now slow. I mean very slow. Try to avoid inserting single rows in a transaction. Instead, whenever possible, perform batch updates of tens to, say thousands of rows in a single transaction. See also: http://www.sqlite.org/faq.html#q19, the discussed synchronization principles involved are the same as for QL, modulo minor details. Note: A side effect is that closing a DB before exiting an application, both for the Go API and through database/sql driver, is no more required, strictly speaking. Beware that exiting an application while there is an open (uncommitted) transaction in progress means losing the transaction data. However, the DB will not become corrupted because of not closing it. Nor that was the case before, but formerly failing to close a DB could have resulted in losing the data of the last transaction. 2014-09-21: id() now optionally accepts a single argument - a table name. 2014-09-01: Added the DB.Flush() method and the LIKE pattern matching predicate. 2014-08-08: The built in functions max and min now accept also time values. Thanks opennota! (https://github.com/opennota) 2014-06-05: RecordSet interface extended by new methods FirstRow and Rows. 2014-06-02: Indices on id() are now used by SELECT statements. 2014-05-07: Introduction of Marshal, Schema, Unmarshal. 2014-04-15: Added optional IF NOT EXISTS clause to CREATE INDEX and optional IF EXISTS clause to DROP INDEX. 2014-04-12: The column Unique in the virtual table __Index was renamed to IsUnique because the old name is a keyword. Unfortunately, this is a breaking change, sorry. 2014-04-11: Introduction of LIMIT, OFFSET. 2014-04-10: Introduction of query rewriting. 2014-04-07: Introduction of indices. QL imports zappy[8], a block-based compressor, which speeds up its performance by using a C version of the compression/decompression algorithms. If a CGO-free (pure Go) version of QL, or an app using QL, is required, please include 'purego' in the -tags option of go {build,get,install}. For example: If zappy was installed before installing QL, it might be necessary to rebuild zappy first (or rebuild QL with all its dependencies using the -a option): The syntax is specified using Extended Backus-Naur Form (EBNF) Lower-case production names are used to identify lexical tokens. Non-terminals are in CamelCase. Lexical tokens are enclosed in double quotes "" or back quotes “. The form a … b represents the set of characters from a through b as alternatives. The horizontal ellipsis … is also used elsewhere in the spec to informally denote various enumerations or code snippets that are not further specified. QL source code is Unicode text encoded in UTF-8. The text is not canonicalized, so a single accented code point is distinct from the same character constructed from combining an accent and a letter; those are treated as two code points. For simplicity, this document will use the unqualified term character to refer to a Unicode code point in the source text. Each code point is distinct; for instance, upper and lower case letters are different characters. Implementation restriction: For compatibility with other tools, the parser may disallow the NUL character (U+0000) in the statement. Implementation restriction: A byte order mark is disallowed anywhere in QL statements. The following terms are used to denote specific character classes The underscore character _ (U+005F) is considered a letter. Lexical elements are comments, tokens, identifiers, keywords, operators and delimiters, integer, floating-point, imaginary, rune and string literals and QL parameters. Line comments start with the character sequence // or -- and stop at the end of the line. A line comment acts like a space. General comments start with the character sequence /* and continue through the character sequence */. A general comment acts like a space. Comments do not nest. Tokens form the vocabulary of QL. There are four classes: identifiers, keywords, operators and delimiters, and literals. White space, formed from spaces (U+0020), horizontal tabs (U+0009), carriage returns (U+000D), and newlines (U+000A), is ignored except as it separates tokens that would otherwise combine into a single token. The formal grammar uses semicolons ";" as separators of QL statements. A single QL statement or the last QL statement in a list of statements can have an optional semicolon terminator. (Actually a separator from the following empty statement.) Identifiers name entities such as tables or record set columns. An identifier is a sequence of one or more letters and digits. The first character in an identifier must be a letter. For example No identifiers are predeclared, however note that no keyword can be used as an identifier. Identifiers starting with two underscores are used for meta data virtual tables names. For forward compatibility, users should generally avoid using any identifiers starting with two underscores. For example The following keywords are reserved and may not be used as identifiers. Keywords are not case sensitive. The following character sequences represent operators, delimiters, and other special tokens Operators consisting of more than one character are referred to by names in the rest of the documentation An integer literal is a sequence of digits representing an integer constant. An optional prefix sets a non-decimal base: 0 for octal, 0x or 0X for hexadecimal. In hexadecimal literals, letters a-f and A-F represent values 10 through 15. For example A floating-point literal is a decimal representation of a floating-point constant. It has an integer part, a decimal point, a fractional part, and an exponent part. The integer and fractional part comprise decimal digits; the exponent part is an e or E followed by an optionally signed decimal exponent. One of the integer part or the fractional part may be elided; one of the decimal point or the exponent may be elided. For example An imaginary literal is a decimal representation of the imaginary part of a complex constant. It consists of a floating-point literal or decimal integer followed by the lower-case letter i. For example A rune literal represents a rune constant, an integer value identifying a Unicode code point. A rune literal is expressed as one or more characters enclosed in single quotes. Within the quotes, any character may appear except single quote and newline. A single quoted character represents the Unicode value of the character itself, while multi-character sequences beginning with a backslash encode values in various formats. The simplest form represents the single character within the quotes; since QL statements are Unicode characters encoded in UTF-8, multiple UTF-8-encoded bytes may represent a single integer value. For instance, the literal 'a' holds a single byte representing a literal a, Unicode U+0061, value 0x61, while 'ä' holds two bytes (0xc3 0xa4) representing a literal a-dieresis, U+00E4, value 0xe4. Several backslash escapes allow arbitrary values to be encoded as ASCII text. There are four ways to represent the integer value as a numeric constant: \x followed by exactly two hexadecimal digits; \u followed by exactly four hexadecimal digits; \U followed by exactly eight hexadecimal digits, and a plain backslash \ followed by exactly three octal digits. In each case the value of the literal is the value represented by the digits in the corresponding base. Although these representations all result in an integer, they have different valid ranges. Octal escapes must represent a value between 0 and 255 inclusive. Hexadecimal escapes satisfy this condition by construction. The escapes \u and \U represent Unicode code points so within them some values are illegal, in particular those above 0x10FFFF and surrogate halves. After a backslash, certain single-character escapes represent special values All other sequences starting with a backslash are illegal inside rune literals. For example A string literal represents a string constant obtained from concatenating a sequence of characters. There are two forms: raw string literals and interpreted string literals. Raw string literals are character sequences between back quotes “. Within the quotes, any character is legal except back quote. The value of a raw string literal is the string composed of the uninterpreted (implicitly UTF-8-encoded) characters between the quotes; in particular, backslashes have no special meaning and the string may contain newlines. Carriage returns inside raw string literals are discarded from the raw string value. Interpreted string literals are character sequences between double quotes "". The text between the quotes, which may not contain newlines, forms the value of the literal, with backslash escapes interpreted as they are in rune literals (except that \' is illegal and \" is legal), with the same restrictions. The three-digit octal (\nnn) and two-digit hexadecimal (\xnn) escapes represent individual bytes of the resulting string; all other escapes represent the (possibly multi-byte) UTF-8 encoding of individual characters. Thus inside a string literal \377 and \xFF represent a single byte of value 0xFF=255, while ÿ, \u00FF, \U000000FF and \xc3\xbf represent the two bytes 0xc3 0xbf of the UTF-8 encoding of character U+00FF. For example These examples all represent the same string If the statement source represents a character as two code points, such as a combining form involving an accent and a letter, the result will be an error if placed in a rune literal (it is not a single code point), and will appear as two code points if placed in a string literal. Literals are assigned their values from the respective text representation at "compile" (parse) time. QL parameters provide the same functionality as literals, but their value is assigned at execution time from an expression list passed to DB.Run or DB.Execute. Using '?' or '$' is completely equivalent. For example Keywords 'false' and 'true' (not case sensitive) represent the two possible constant values of type bool (also not case sensitive). Keyword 'NULL' (not case sensitive) represents an untyped constant which is assignable to any type. NULL is distinct from any other value of any type. A type determines the set of values and operations specific to values of that type. A type is specified by a type name. Named instances of the boolean, numeric, and string types are keywords. The names are not case sensitive. Note: The blob type is exchanged between the back end and the API as []byte. On 32 bit platforms this limits the size which the implementation can handle to 2G. A boolean type represents the set of Boolean truth values denoted by the predeclared constants true and false. The predeclared boolean type is bool. A duration type represents the elapsed time between two instants as an int64 nanosecond count. The representation limits the largest representable duration to approximately 290 years. A numeric type represents sets of integer or floating-point values. The predeclared architecture-independent numeric types are The value of an n-bit integer is n bits wide and represented using two's complement arithmetic. Conversions are required when different numeric types are mixed in an expression or assignment. A string type represents the set of string values. A string value is a (possibly empty) sequence of bytes. The case insensitive keyword for the string type is 'string'. The length of a string (its size in bytes) can be discovered using the built-in function len. A time type represents an instant in time with nanosecond precision. Each time has associated with it a location, consulted when computing the presentation form of the time. The following functions are implicitly declared An expression specifies the computation of a value by applying operators and functions to operands. Operands denote the elementary values in an expression. An operand may be a literal, a (possibly qualified) identifier denoting a constant or a function or a table/record set column, or a parenthesized expression. A qualified identifier is an identifier qualified with a table/record set name prefix. For example Primary expression are the operands for unary and binary expressions. For example A primary expression of the form denotes the element of a string indexed by x. Its type is byte. The value x is called the index. The following rules apply - The index x must be of integer type except bigint or duration; it is in range if 0 <= x < len(s), otherwise it is out of range. - A constant index must be non-negative and representable by a value of type int. - A constant index must be in range if the string a is a literal. - If x is out of range at run time, a run-time error occurs. - s[x] is the byte at index x and the type of s[x] is byte. If s is NULL or x is NULL then the result is NULL. Otherwise s[x] is illegal. For a string, the primary expression constructs a substring. The indices low and high select which elements appear in the result. The result has indices starting at 0 and length equal to high - low. For convenience, any of the indices may be omitted. A missing low index defaults to zero; a missing high index defaults to the length of the sliced operand The indices low and high are in range if 0 <= low <= high <= len(a), otherwise they are out of range. A constant index must be non-negative and representable by a value of type int. If both indices are constant, they must satisfy low <= high. If the indices are out of range at run time, a run-time error occurs. Integer values of type bigint or duration cannot be used as indices. If s is NULL the result is NULL. If low or high is not omitted and is NULL then the result is NULL. Given an identifier f denoting a predeclared function, calls f with arguments a1, a2, … an. Arguments are evaluated before the function is called. The type of the expression is the result type of f. In a function call, the function value and arguments are evaluated in the usual order. After they are evaluated, the parameters of the call are passed by value to the function and the called function begins execution. The return value of the function is passed by value when the function returns. Calling an undefined function causes a compile-time error. Operators combine operands into expressions. Comparisons are discussed elsewhere. For other binary operators, the operand types must be identical unless the operation involves shifts or untyped constants. For operations involving constants only, see the section on constant expressions. Except for shift operations, if one operand is an untyped constant and the other operand is not, the constant is converted to the type of the other operand. The right operand in a shift expression must have unsigned integer type or be an untyped constant that can be converted to unsigned integer type. If the left operand of a non-constant shift expression is an untyped constant, the type of the constant is what it would be if the shift expression were replaced by its left operand alone. Expressions of the form yield a boolean value true if expr2, a regular expression, matches expr1 (see also [6]). Both expression must be of type string. If any one of the expressions is NULL the result is NULL. Predicates are special form expressions having a boolean result type. Expressions of the form are equivalent, including NULL handling, to The types of involved expressions must be comparable as defined in "Comparison operators". Another form of the IN predicate creates the expression list from a result of a SelectStmt. The SelectStmt must select only one column. The produced expression list is resource limited by the memory available to the process. NULL values produced by the SelectStmt are ignored, but if all records of the SelectStmt are NULL the predicate yields NULL. The select statement is evaluated only once. If the type of expr is not the same as the type of the field returned by the SelectStmt then the set operation yields false. The type of the column returned by the SelectStmt must be one of the simple (non blob-like) types: Expressions of the form are equivalent, including NULL handling, to The types of involved expressions must be ordered as defined in "Comparison operators". Expressions of the form yield a boolean value true if expr does not have a specific type (case A) or if expr has a specific type (case B). In other cases the result is a boolean value false. Unary operators have the highest precedence. There are five precedence levels for binary operators. Multiplication operators bind strongest, followed by addition operators, comparison operators, && (logical AND), and finally || (logical OR) Binary operators of the same precedence associate from left to right. For instance, x / y * z is the same as (x / y) * z. Note that the operator precedence is reflected explicitly by the grammar. Arithmetic operators apply to numeric values and yield a result of the same type as the first operand. The four standard arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /) apply to integer, rational, floating-point, and complex types; + also applies to strings; +,- also applies to times. All other arithmetic operators apply to integers only. sum integers, rationals, floats, complex values, strings difference integers, rationals, floats, complex values, times product integers, rationals, floats, complex values / quotient integers, rationals, floats, complex values % remainder integers & bitwise AND integers | bitwise OR integers ^ bitwise XOR integers &^ bit clear (AND NOT) integers << left shift integer << unsigned integer >> right shift integer >> unsigned integer Strings can be concatenated using the + operator String addition creates a new string by concatenating the operands. A value of type duration can be added to or subtracted from a value of type time. Times can subtracted from each other producing a value of type duration. For two integer values x and y, the integer quotient q = x / y and remainder r = x % y satisfy the following relationships with x / y truncated towards zero ("truncated division"). As an exception to this rule, if the dividend x is the most negative value for the int type of x, the quotient q = x / -1 is equal to x (and r = 0). If the divisor is a constant expression, it must not be zero. If the divisor is zero at run time, a run-time error occurs. If the dividend is non-negative and the divisor is a constant power of 2, the division may be replaced by a right shift, and computing the remainder may be replaced by a bitwise AND operation The shift operators shift the left operand by the shift count specified by the right operand. They implement arithmetic shifts if the left operand is a signed integer and logical shifts if it is an unsigned integer. There is no upper limit on the shift count. Shifts behave as if the left operand is shifted n times by 1 for a shift count of n. As a result, x << 1 is the same as x*2 and x >> 1 is the same as x/2 but truncated towards negative infinity. For integer operands, the unary operators +, -, and ^ are defined as follows For floating-point and complex numbers, +x is the same as x, while -x is the negation of x. The result of a floating-point or complex division by zero is not specified beyond the IEEE-754 standard; whether a run-time error occurs is implementation-specific. Whenever any operand of any arithmetic operation, unary or binary, is NULL, as well as in the case of the string concatenating operation, the result is NULL. For unsigned integer values, the operations +, -, *, and << are computed modulo 2n, where n is the bit width of the unsigned integer's type. Loosely speaking, these unsigned integer operations discard high bits upon overflow, and expressions may rely on “wrap around”. For signed integers with a finite bit width, the operations +, -, *, and << may legally overflow and the resulting value exists and is deterministically defined by the signed integer representation, the operation, and its operands. No exception is raised as a result of overflow. An evaluator may not optimize an expression under the assumption that overflow does not occur. For instance, it may not assume that x < x + 1 is always true. Integers of type bigint and rationals do not overflow but their handling is limited by the memory resources available to the program. Comparison operators compare two operands and yield a boolean value. In any comparison, the first operand must be of same type as is the second operand, or vice versa. The equality operators == and != apply to operands that are comparable. The ordering operators <, <=, >, and >= apply to operands that are ordered. These terms and the result of the comparisons are defined as follows - Boolean values are comparable. Two boolean values are equal if they are either both true or both false. - Complex values are comparable. Two complex values u and v are equal if both real(u) == real(v) and imag(u) == imag(v). - Integer values are comparable and ordered, in the usual way. Note that durations are integers. - Floating point values are comparable and ordered, as defined by the IEEE-754 standard. - Rational values are comparable and ordered, in the usual way. - String values are comparable and ordered, lexically byte-wise. - Time values are comparable and ordered. Whenever any operand of any comparison operation is NULL, the result is NULL. Note that slices are always of type string. Logical operators apply to boolean values and yield a boolean result. The right operand is evaluated conditionally. The truth tables for logical operations with NULL values Conversions are expressions of the form T(x) where T is a type and x is an expression that can be converted to type T. A constant value x can be converted to type T in any of these cases: - x is representable by a value of type T. - x is a floating-point constant, T is a floating-point type, and x is representable by a value of type T after rounding using IEEE 754 round-to-even rules. The constant T(x) is the rounded value. - x is an integer constant and T is a string type. The same rule as for non-constant x applies in this case. Converting a constant yields a typed constant as result. A non-constant value x can be converted to type T in any of these cases: - x has type T. - x's type and T are both integer or floating point types. - x's type and T are both complex types. - x is an integer, except bigint or duration, and T is a string type. Specific rules apply to (non-constant) conversions between numeric types or to and from a string type. These conversions may change the representation of x and incur a run-time cost. All other conversions only change the type but not the representation of x. A conversion of NULL to any type yields NULL. For the conversion of non-constant numeric values, the following rules apply 1. When converting between integer types, if the value is a signed integer, it is sign extended to implicit infinite precision; otherwise it is zero extended. It is then truncated to fit in the result type's size. For example, if v == uint16(0x10F0), then uint32(int8(v)) == 0xFFFFFFF0. The conversion always yields a valid value; there is no indication of overflow. 2. When converting a floating-point number to an integer, the fraction is discarded (truncation towards zero). 3. When converting an integer or floating-point number to a floating-point type, or a complex number to another complex type, the result value is rounded to the precision specified by the destination type. For instance, the value of a variable x of type float32 may be stored using additional precision beyond that of an IEEE-754 32-bit number, but float32(x) represents the result of rounding x's value to 32-bit precision. Similarly, x + 0.1 may use more than 32 bits of precision, but float32(x + 0.1) does not. In all non-constant conversions involving floating-point or complex values, if the result type cannot represent the value the conversion succeeds but the result value is implementation-dependent. 1. Converting a signed or unsigned integer value to a string type yields a string containing the UTF-8 representation of the integer. Values outside the range of valid Unicode code points are converted to "\uFFFD". 2. Converting a blob to a string type yields a string whose successive bytes are the elements of the blob. 3. Converting a value of a string type to a blob yields a blob whose successive elements are the bytes of the string. 4. Converting a value of a bigint type to a string yields a string containing the decimal decimal representation of the integer. 5. Converting a value of a string type to a bigint yields a bigint value containing the integer represented by the string value. A prefix of “0x” or “0X” selects base 16; the “0” prefix selects base 8, and a “0b” or “0B” prefix selects base 2. Otherwise the value is interpreted in base 10. An error occurs if the string value is not in any valid format. 6. Converting a value of a rational type to a string yields a string containing the decimal decimal representation of the rational in the form "a/b" (even if b == 1). 7. Converting a value of a string type to a bigrat yields a bigrat value containing the rational represented by the string value. The string can be given as a fraction "a/b" or as a floating-point number optionally followed by an exponent. An error occurs if the string value is not in any valid format. 8. Converting a value of a duration type to a string returns a string representing the duration in the form "72h3m0.5s". Leading zero units are omitted. As a special case, durations less than one second format using a smaller unit (milli-, micro-, or nanoseconds) to ensure that the leading digit is non-zero. The zero duration formats as 0, with no unit. 9. Converting a string value to a duration yields a duration represented by the string. A duration string is a possibly signed sequence of decimal numbers, each with optional fraction and a unit suffix, such as "300ms", "-1.5h" or "2h45m". Valid time units are "ns", "us" (or "µs"), "ms", "s", "m", "h". 10. Converting a time value to a string returns the time formatted using the format string When evaluating the operands of an expression or of function calls, operations are evaluated in lexical left-to-right order. For example, in the evaluation of the function calls and evaluation of c happen in the order h(), i(), j(), c. Floating-point operations within a single expression are evaluated according to the associativity of the operators. Explicit parentheses affect the evaluation by overriding the default associativity. In the expression x + (y + z) the addition y + z is performed before adding x. Statements control execution. The empty statement does nothing. Alter table statements modify existing tables. With the ADD clause it adds a new column to the table. The column must not exist. With the DROP clause it removes an existing column from a table. The column must exist and it must be not the only (last) column of the table. IOW, there cannot be a table with no columns. For example When adding a column to a table with existing data, the constraint clause of the ColumnDef cannot be used. Adding a constrained column to an empty table is fine. Begin transactions statements introduce a new transaction level. Every transaction level must be eventually balanced by exactly one of COMMIT or ROLLBACK statements. Note that when a transaction is roll-backed because of a statement failure then no explicit balancing of the respective BEGIN TRANSACTION is statement is required nor permitted. Failure to properly balance any opened transaction level may cause dead locks and/or lose of data updated in the uppermost opened but never properly closed transaction level. For example A database cannot be updated (mutated) outside of a transaction. Statements requiring a transaction A database is effectively read only outside of a transaction. Statements not requiring a transaction The commit statement closes the innermost transaction nesting level. If that's the outermost level then the updates to the DB made by the transaction are atomically made persistent. For example Create index statements create new indices. Index is a named projection of ordered values of a table column to the respective records. As a special case the id() of the record can be indexed. Index name must not be the same as any of the existing tables and it also cannot be the same as of any column name of the table the index is on. For example Now certain SELECT statements may use the indices to speed up joins and/or to speed up record set filtering when the WHERE clause is used; or the indices might be used to improve the performance when the ORDER BY clause is present. The UNIQUE modifier requires the indexed values tuple to be index-wise unique or have all values NULL. The optional IF NOT EXISTS clause makes the statement a no operation if the index already exists. A simple index consists of only one expression which must be either a column name or the built-in id(). A more complex and more general index is one that consists of more than one expression or its single expression does not qualify as a simple index. In this case the type of all expressions in the list must be one of the non blob-like types. Note: Blob-like types are blob, bigint, bigrat, time and duration. Create table statements create new tables. A column definition declares the column name and type. Table names and column names are case sensitive. Neither a table or an index of the same name may exist in the DB. For example The optional IF NOT EXISTS clause makes the statement a no operation if the table already exists. The optional constraint clause has two forms. The first one is found in many SQL dialects. This form prevents the data in column DepartmentName to be NULL. The second form allows an arbitrary boolean expression to be used to validate the column. If the value of the expression is true then the validation succeeded. If the value of the expression is false or NULL then the validation fails. If the value of the expression is not of type bool an error occurs. The optional DEFAULT clause is an expression which, if present, is substituted instead of a NULL value when the colum is assigned a value. Note that the constraint and/or default expressions may refer to other columns by name: When a table row is inserted by the INSERT INTO statement or when a table row is updated by the UPDATE statement, the order of operations is as follows: 1. The new values of the affected columns are set and the values of all the row columns become the named values which can be referred to in default expressions evaluated in step 2. 2. If any row column value is NULL and the DEFAULT clause is present in the column's definition, the default expression is evaluated and its value is set as the respective column value. 3. The values, potentially updated, of row columns become the named values which can be referred to in constraint expressions evaluated during step 4. 4. All row columns which definition has the constraint clause present will have that constraint checked. If any constraint violation is detected, the overall operation fails and no changes to the table are made. Delete from statements remove rows from a table, which must exist. For example If the WHERE clause is not present then all rows are removed and the statement is equivalent to the TRUNCATE TABLE statement. Drop index statements remove indices from the DB. The index must exist. For example The optional IF EXISTS clause makes the statement a no operation if the index does not exist. Drop table statements remove tables from the DB. The table must exist. For example The optional IF EXISTS clause makes the statement a no operation if the table does not exist. Insert into statements insert new rows into tables. New rows come from literal data, if using the VALUES clause, or are a result of select statement. In the later case the select statement is fully evaluated before the insertion of any rows is performed, allowing to insert values calculated from the same table rows are to be inserted into. If the ColumnNameList part is omitted then the number of values inserted in the row must be the same as are columns in the table. If the ColumnNameList part is present then the number of values per row must be same as the same number of column names. All other columns of the record are set to NULL. The type of the value assigned to a column must be the same as is the column's type or the value must be NULL. For example If any of the columns of the table were defined using the optional constraints clause or the optional defaults clause then those are processed on a per row basis. The details are discussed in the "Constraints and defaults" chapter below the CREATE TABLE statement documentation. Explain statement produces a recordset consisting of lines of text which describe the execution plan of a statement, if any. For example, the QL tool treats the explain statement specially and outputs the joined lines: The explanation may aid in uderstanding how a statement/query would be executed and if indices are used as expected - or which indices may possibly improve the statement performance. The create index statements above were directly copy/pasted in the terminal from the suggestions provided by the filter recordset pipeline part returned by the explain statement. If the statement has nothing special in its plan, the result is the original statement. To get an explanation of the select statement of the IN predicate, use the EXPLAIN statement with that particular select statement. The rollback statement closes the innermost transaction nesting level discarding any updates to the DB made by it. If that's the outermost level then the effects on the DB are as if the transaction never happened. For example The (temporary) record set from the last statement is returned and can be processed by the client. In this case the rollback is the same as 'DROP TABLE tmp;' but it can be a more complex operation. Select from statements produce recordsets. The optional DISTINCT modifier ensures all rows in the result recordset are unique. Either all of the resulting fields are returned ('*') or only those named in FieldList. RecordSetList is a list of table names or parenthesized select statements, optionally (re)named using the AS clause. The result can be filtered using a WhereClause and orderd by the OrderBy clause. For example If Recordset is a nested, parenthesized SelectStmt then it must be given a name using the AS clause if its field are to be accessible in expressions. A field is an named expression. Identifiers, not used as a type in conversion or a function name in the Call clause, denote names of (other) fields, values of which should be used in the expression. The expression can be named using the AS clause. If the AS clause is not present and the expression consists solely of a field name, then that field name is used as the name of the resulting field. Otherwise the field is unnamed. For example The SELECT statement can optionally enumerate the desired/resulting fields in a list. No two identical field names can appear in the list. When more than one record set is used in the FROM clause record set list, the result record set field names are rewritten to be qualified using the record set names. If a particular record set doesn't have a name, its respective fields became unnamed. The optional JOIN clause, for example is mostly equal to except that the rows from a which, when they appear in the cross join, never made expr to evaluate to true, are combined with a virtual row from b, containing all nulls, and added to the result set. For the RIGHT JOIN variant the discussed rules are used for rows from b not satisfying expr == true and the virtual, all-null row "comes" from a. The FULL JOIN adds the respective rows which would be otherwise provided by the separate executions of the LEFT JOIN and RIGHT JOIN variants. For more thorough OUTER JOIN discussion please see the Wikipedia article at [10]. Resultins rows of a SELECT statement can be optionally ordered by the ORDER BY clause. Collating proceeds by considering the expressions in the expression list left to right until a collating order is determined. Any possibly remaining expressions are not evaluated. All of the expression values must yield an ordered type or NULL. Ordered types are defined in "Comparison operators". Collating of elements having a NULL value is different compared to what the comparison operators yield in expression evaluation (NULL result instead of a boolean value). Below, T denotes a non NULL value of any QL type. NULL collates before any non NULL value (is considered smaller than T). Two NULLs have no collating order (are considered equal). The WHERE clause restricts records considered by some statements, like SELECT FROM, DELETE FROM, or UPDATE. It is an error if the expression evaluates to a non null value of non bool type. The GROUP BY clause is used to project rows having common values into a smaller set of rows. For example Using the GROUP BY without any aggregate functions in the selected fields is in certain cases equal to using the DISTINCT modifier. The last two examples above produce the same resultsets. The optional OFFSET clause allows to ignore first N records. For example The above will produce only rows 11, 12, ... of the record set, if they exist. The value of the expression must a non negative integer, but not bigint or duration. The optional LIMIT clause allows to ignore all but first N records. For example The above will return at most the first 10 records of the record set. The value of the expression must a non negative integer, but not bigint or duration. The LIMIT and OFFSET clauses can be combined. For example Considering table t has, say 10 records, the above will produce only records 4 - 8. After returning record #8, no more result rows/records are computed. 1. The FROM clause is evaluated, producing a Cartesian product of its source record sets (tables or nested SELECT statements). 2. If present, the JOIN cluase is evaluated on the result set of the previous evaluation and the recordset specified by the JOIN clause. (... JOIN Recordset ON ...) 3. If present, the WHERE clause is evaluated on the result set of the previous evaluation. 4. If present, the GROUP BY clause is evaluated on the result set of the previous evaluation(s). 5. The SELECT field expressions are evaluated on the result set of the previous evaluation(s). 6. If present, the DISTINCT modifier is evaluated on the result set of the previous evaluation(s). 7. If present, the ORDER BY clause is evaluated on the result set of the previous evaluation(s). 8. If present, the OFFSET clause is evaluated on the result set of the previous evaluation(s). The offset expression is evaluated once for the first record produced by the previous evaluations. 9. If present, the LIMIT clause is evaluated on the result set of the previous evaluation(s). The limit expression is evaluated once for the first record produced by the previous evaluations. Truncate table statements remove all records from a table. The table must exist. For example Update statements change values of fields in rows of a table. For example Note: The SET clause is optional. If any of the columns of the table were defined using the optional constraints clause or the optional defaults clause then those are processed on a per row basis. The details are discussed in the "Constraints and defaults" chapter below the CREATE TABLE statement documentation. To allow to query for DB meta data, there exist specially named tables, some of them being virtual. Note: Virtual system tables may have fake table-wise unique but meaningless and unstable record IDs. Do not apply the built-in id() to any system table. The table __Table lists all tables in the DB. The schema is The Schema column returns the statement to (re)create table Name. This table is virtual. The table __Colum lists all columns of all tables in the DB. The schema is The Ordinal column defines the 1-based index of the column in the record. This table is virtual. The table __Colum2 lists all columns of all tables in the DB which have the constraint NOT NULL or which have a constraint expression defined or which have a default expression defined. The schema is It's possible to obtain a consolidated recordset for all properties of all DB columns using The Name column is the column name in TableName. The table __Index lists all indices in the DB. The schema is The IsUnique columns reflects if the index was created using the optional UNIQUE clause. This table is virtual. Built-in functions are predeclared. The built-in aggregate function avg returns the average of values of an expression. Avg ignores NULL values, but returns NULL if all values of a column are NULL or if avg is applied to an empty record set. The column values must be of a numeric type. The built-in function contains returns true if substr is within s. If any argument to contains is NULL the result is NULL. The built-in aggregate function count returns how many times an expression has a non NULL values or the number of rows in a record set. Note: count() returns 0 for an empty record set. For example Date returns the time corresponding to in the appropriate zone for that time in the given location. The month, day, hour, min, sec, and nsec values may be outside their usual ranges and will be normalized during the conversion. For example, October 32 converts to November 1. A daylight savings time transition skips or repeats times. For example, in the United States, March 13, 2011 2:15am never occurred, while November 6, 2011 1:15am occurred twice. In such cases, the choice of time zone, and therefore the time, is not well-defined. Date returns a time that is correct in one of the two zones involved in the transition, but it does not guarantee which. A location maps time instants to the zone in use at that time. Typically, the location represents the collection of time offsets in use in a geographical area, such as "CEST" and "CET" for central Europe. "local" represents the system's local time zone. "UTC" represents Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). The month specifies a month of the year (January = 1, ...). If any argument to date is NULL the result is NULL. The built-in function day returns the day of the month specified by t. If the argument to day is NULL the result is NULL. The built-in function formatTime returns a textual representation of the time value formatted according to layout, which defines the format by showing how the reference time, would be displayed if it were the value; it serves as an example of the desired output. The same display rules will then be applied to the time value. If any argument to formatTime is NULL the result is NULL. NOTE: The string value of the time zone, like "CET" or "ACDT", is dependent on the time zone of the machine the function is run on. For example, if the t value is in "CET", but the machine is in "ACDT", instead of "CET" the result is "+0100". This is the same what Go (time.Time).String() returns and in fact formatTime directly calls t.String(). returns on a machine in the CET time zone, but may return on a machine in the ACDT zone. The time value is in both cases the same so its ordering and comparing is correct. Only the display value can differ. The built-in functions formatFloat and formatInt format numbers to strings using go's number format functions in the `strconv` package. For all three functions, only the first argument is mandatory. The default values of the rest are shown in the examples. If the first argument is NULL, the result is NULL. returns returns returns Unlike the `strconv` equivalent, the formatInt function handles all integer types, both signed and unsigned. The built-in function hasPrefix tests whether the string s begins with prefix. If any argument to hasPrefix is NULL the result is NULL. The built-in function hasSuffix tests whether the string s ends with suffix. If any argument to hasSuffix is NULL the result is NULL. The built-in function hour returns the hour within the day specified by t, in the range [0, 23]. If the argument to hour is NULL the result is NULL. The built-in function hours returns the duration as a floating point number of hours. If the argument to hours is NULL the result is NULL. The built-in function id takes zero or one arguments. If no argument is provided, id() returns a table-unique automatically assigned numeric identifier of type int. Ids of deleted records are not reused unless the DB becomes completely empty (has no tables). For example If id() without arguments is called for a row which is not a table record then the result value is NULL. For example If id() has one argument it must be a table name of a table in a cross join. For example The built-in function len takes a string argument and returns the lentgh of the string in bytes. The expression len(s) is constant if s is a string constant. If the argument to len is NULL the result is NULL. The built-in aggregate function max returns the largest value of an expression in a record set. Max ignores NULL values, but returns NULL if all values of a column are NULL or if max is applied to an empty record set. The expression values must be of an ordered type. For example The built-in aggregate function min returns the smallest value of an expression in a record set. Min ignores NULL values, but returns NULL if all values of a column are NULL or if min is applied to an empty record set. For example The column values must be of an ordered type. The built-in function minute returns the minute offset within the hour specified by t, in the range [0, 59]. If the argument to minute is NULL the result is NULL. The built-in function minutes returns the duration as a floating point number of minutes. If the argument to minutes is NULL the result is NULL. The built-in function month returns the month of the year specified by t (January = 1, ...). If the argument to month is NULL the result is NULL. The built-in function nanosecond returns the nanosecond offset within the second specified by t, in the range [0, 999999999]. If the argument to nanosecond is NULL the result is NULL. The built-in function nanoseconds returns the duration as an integer nanosecond count. If the argument to nanoseconds is NULL the result is NULL. The built-in function now returns the current local time. The built-in function parseTime parses a formatted string and returns the time value it represents. The layout defines the format by showing how the reference time, would be interpreted if it were the value; it serves as an example of the input format. The same interpretation will then be made to the input string. Elements omitted from the value are assumed to be zero or, when zero is impossible, one, so parsing "3:04pm" returns the time corresponding to Jan 1, year 0, 15:04:00 UTC (note that because the year is 0, this time is before the zero Time). Years must be in the range 0000..9999. The day of the week is checked for syntax but it is otherwise ignored. In the absence of a time zone indicator, parseTime returns a time in UTC. When parsing a time with a zone offset like -0700, if the offset corresponds to a time zone used by the current location, then parseTime uses that location and zone in the returned time. Otherwise it records the time as being in a fabricated location with time fixed at the given zone offset. When parsing a time with a zone abbreviation like MST, if the zone abbreviation has a defined offset in the current location, then that offset is used. The zone abbreviation "UTC" is recognized as UTC regardless of location. If the zone abbreviation is unknown, Parse records the time as being in a fabricated location with the given zone abbreviation and a zero offset. This choice means that such a time can be parses and reformatted with the same layout losslessly, but the exact instant used in the representation will differ by the actual zone offset. To avoid such problems, prefer time layouts that use a numeric zone offset. If any argument to parseTime is NULL the result is NULL. The built-in function second returns the second offset within the minute specified by t, in the range [0, 59]. If the argument to second is NULL the result is NULL. The built-in function seconds returns the duration as a floating point number of seconds. If the argument to seconds is NULL the result is NULL. The built-in function since returns the time elapsed since t. It is shorthand for now()-t. If the argument to since is NULL the result is NULL. The built-in aggregate function sum returns the sum of values of an expression for all rows of a record set. Sum ignores NULL values, but returns NULL if all values of a column are NULL or if sum is applied to an empty record set. The column values must be of a numeric type. The built-in function timeIn returns t with the location information set to loc. For discussion of the loc argument please see date(). If any argument to timeIn is NULL the result is NULL. The built-in function weekday returns the day of the week specified by t. Sunday == 0, Monday == 1, ... If the argument to weekday is NULL the result is NULL. The built-in function year returns the year in which t occurs. If the argument to year is NULL the result is NULL. The built-in function yearDay returns the day of the year specified by t, in the range [1,365] for non-leap years, and [1,366] in leap years. If the argument to yearDay is NULL the result is NULL. Three functions assemble and disassemble complex numbers. The built-in function complex constructs a complex value from a floating-point real and imaginary part, while real and imag extract the real and imaginary parts of a complex value. The type of the arguments and return value correspond. For complex, the two arguments must be of the same floating-point type and the return type is the complex type with the corresponding floating-point constituents: complex64 for float32, complex128 for float64. The real and imag functions together form the inverse, so for a complex value z, z == complex(real(z), imag(z)). If the operands of these functions are all constants, the return value is a constant. If any argument to any of complex, real, imag functions is NULL the result is NULL.

Indices are used currently used only by the WHERE clause. The following expression patterns of 'WHERE expression' are recognized and trigger index use. The relOp is one of the relation operators <, <=, ==, >=, >. For the equality operator both operands must be of comparable types. For all other operators both operands must be of ordered types. The constant expression is a compile time constant expression. Some constant folding is still a TODO. Parameter is a QL parameter ($1 etc.). Consider tables t and u, both with an indexed field f. The WHERE expression doesn't comply with the above simple detected cases. However, such query is now automatically rewritten to which will use both of the indices. The impact of using the indices can be substantial (cf. BenchmarkCrossJoin*) if the resulting rows have low "selectivity", ie. only few rows from both tables are selected by the respective WHERE filtering. Note: Existing QL DBs can be used and indices can be added to them. However, once any indices are present in the DB, the old QL versions cannot work with such DB anymore. Running a benchmark with -v (-test.v) outputs information about the scale used to report records/s and a brief description of the benchmark. For example Running the full suite of benchmarks takes a lot of time. Use the -timeout flag to avoid them being killed after the default time limit (10 minutes).

Package awk implements AWK-style processing of input streams. The awk package can be considered a shallow EDSL (embedded domain-specific language) for Go that facilitates text processing. It aims to implement the core semantics provided by AWK, a pattern scanning and processing language defined as part of the POSIX 1003.1 standard (http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/awk.html) and therefore part of all standard Linux/Unix distributions. AWK's forte is simple transformations of tabular data. For example, the following is a complete AWK program that reads an entire file from the standard input device, splits each file into whitespace-separated columns, and outputs all lines in which the fifth column is an odd number: Here's a typical Go analogue of that one-line AWK program: The goal of the awk package is to emulate AWK's simplicity while simultaneously taking advantage of Go's speed, safety, and flexibility. With the awk package, the preceding code reduces to the following: While not a one-liner like the original AWK program, the above is conceptually close to it. The AppendStmt method defines a script in terms of patterns and actions exactly as in the AWK program. The Run method then runs the script on an input stream, which can be any io.Reader. For those programmers unfamiliar with AWK, an AWK program consists of a sequence of pattern/action pairs. Each pattern that matches a given line causes the corresponding action to be performed. AWK programs tend to be terse because AWK implicitly reads the input file, splits it into records (default: newline-terminated lines), and splits each record into fields (default: whitespace-separated columns), saving the programmer from having to express such operations explicitly. Furthermore, AWK provides a default pattern, which matches every record, and a default action, which outputs a record unmodified. The awk package attempts to mimic those semantics in Go. Basic usage consists of three steps: 1. Script allocation (awk.NewScript) 2. Script definition (Script.AppendStmt) 3. Script execution (Script.Run) In Step 2, AppendStmt is called once for each pattern/action pair that is to be appended to the script. The same script can be applied to multiple input streams by re-executing Step 3. Actions to be executed on every run of Step 3 can be supplied by assigning the script's Begin and End fields. The Begin action is typically used to initialize script state by calling methods such as SetRS and SetFS and assigning user-defined data to the script's State field (what would be global variables in AWK). The End action is typically used to store or report final results. To mimic AWK's dynamic type system. the awk package provides the Value and ValueArray types. Value represents a scalar that can be coerced without error to a string, an int, or a float64. ValueArray represents a—possibly multidimensional—associative array of Values. Both patterns and actions can access the current record's fields via the script's F method, which takes a 1-based index and returns the corresponding field as a Value. An index of 0 returns the entire record as a Value. The following AWK features and GNU AWK extensions are currently supported by the awk package: • the basic pattern/action structure of an AWK script, including BEGIN and END rules and range patterns • control over record separation (RS), including regular expressions and null strings (implying blank lines as separators) • control over field separation (FS), including regular expressions and null strings (implying single-character fields) • fixed-width fields (FIELDWIDTHS) • fields defined by a regular expression (FPAT) • control over case-sensitive vs. case-insensitive comparisons (IGNORECASE) • control over the number conversion format (CONVFMT) • automatic enumeration of records (NR) and fields (NR) • "weak typing" • multidimensional associative arrays • premature termination of record processing (next) and script processing (exit) • explicit record reading (getline) from either the current stream or a specified stream • maintenance of regular-expression status variables (RT, RSTART, and RLENGTH) For more information about AWK and its features, see the awk(1) manual page on any Linux/Unix system (available online from, e.g., http://linux.die.net/man/1/awk) or read the book, "The AWK Programming Language" by Aho, Kernighan, and Weinberger. A number of examples ported from the POSIX 1003.1 standard document (http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/awk.html) are presented below.

Package portaudio applies Go bindings to the PortAudio library. For the most part, these bindings parallel the underlying PortAudio API; please refer to http://www.portaudio.com/docs.html for details. Differences introduced by the bindings are documented here: Instead of passing a flag to OpenStream, audio sample formats are inferred from the signature of the stream callback or, for a blocking stream, from the types of the buffers. See the StreamCallback and Buffer types for details. Blocking I/O: Read and Write do not accept buffer arguments; instead they use the buffers (or pointers to buffers) provided to OpenStream. The number of samples to read or write is determined by the size of the buffers. The StreamParameters struct combines parameters for both the input and the output device as well as the sample rate, buffer size, and flags.

Package dataset contains the qri ("query") dataset document definition This package contains the base definition, as well as a number of subpackages that build from this base to add functionality as necessary Datasets take inspiration from HTML documents, deliniating semantic purpose to predefined tags of the document, but instead of orienting around presentational markup, dataset documents emphasize interoperability and composition. The principle encoding format for a dataset document is JSON. Alpha-Keys: Dataset documents are designed to produce consistent checksums when encoded for storage & transmission. To keep hashing consistent map keys are sorted lexographically for encoding. This applies to all fields of a dataset document except the body of a dataaset, where users may need to dictate the ordering of map keys Pod ("Plain old Data") Pattern: To maintain high interoperability, dataset documents must support encoding & decoding ("coding", or "serialization") to and from many formats, fields of dataset documents that leverage "exotic" custom types are acommpanied by a "Plain Old Data" variant, denoted by a "Pod" suffix in their name Plain-Old-Data variants use only basic go types: string, bool, int, float64, []interface{}, etc. and have methods for clean encoding and decoding to their exotic forms

Command pigeon generates parsers in Go from a PEG grammar. From Wikipedia [0]: Its features and syntax are inspired by the PEG.js project [1], while the implementation is loosely based on [2]. Formal presentation of the PEG theory by Bryan Ford is also an important reference [3]. An introductory blog post can be found at [4]. The pigeon tool must be called with PEG input as defined by the accepted PEG syntax below. The grammar may be provided by a file or read from stdin. The generated parser is written to stdout by default. The following options can be specified: The tool makes no attempt to format the code, nor to detect the required imports. It is recommended to use goimports to properly generate the output code: The goimports tool can be installed with: If the code blocks in the grammar (see below, section "Code block") are golint- and go vet-compliant, then the resulting generated code will also be golint- and go vet-compliant. The generated code doesn't use any third-party dependency unless code blocks in the grammar require such a dependency. The accepted syntax for the grammar is formally defined in the grammar/pigeon.peg file, using the PEG syntax. What follows is an informal description of this syntax. Identifiers, whitespace, comments and literals follow the same notation as the Go language, as defined in the language specification (http://golang.org/ref/spec#Source_code_representation): The grammar must be Unicode text encoded in UTF-8. New lines are identified by the \n character (U+000A). Space (U+0020), horizontal tabs (U+0009) and carriage returns (U+000D) are considered whitespace and are ignored except to separate tokens. A PEG grammar consists of a set of rules. A rule is an identifier followed by a rule definition operator and an expression. An optional display name - a string literal used in error messages instead of the rule identifier - can be specified after the rule identifier. E.g.: The rule definition operator can be any one of those: A rule is defined by an expression. The following sections describe the various expression types. Expressions can be grouped by using parentheses, and a rule can be referenced by its identifier in place of an expression. The choice expression is a list of expressions that will be tested in the order they are defined. The first one that matches will be used. Expressions are separated by the forward slash character "/". E.g.: Because the first match is used, it is important to think about the order of expressions. For example, in this rule, "<=" would never be used because the "<" expression comes first: The sequence expression is a list of expressions that must all match in that same order for the sequence expression to be considered a match. Expressions are separated by whitespace. E.g.: A labeled expression consists of an identifier followed by a colon ":" and an expression. A labeled expression introduces a variable named with the label that can be referenced in the code blocks in the same scope. The variable will have the value of the expression that follows the colon. E.g.: The variable is typed as an empty interface, and the underlying type depends on the following: For terminals (character and string literals, character classes and the any matcher), the value is []byte. E.g.: For predicates (& and !), the value is always nil. E.g.: For a sequence, the value is a slice of empty interfaces, one for each expression value in the sequence. The underlying types of each value in the slice follow the same rules described here, recursively. E.g.: For a repetition (+ and *), the value is a slice of empty interfaces, one for each repetition. The underlying types of each value in the slice follow the same rules described here, recursively. E.g.: For a choice expression, the value is that of the matching choice. E.g.: For the optional expression (?), the value is nil or the value of the expression. E.g.: Of course, the type of the value can be anything once an action code block is used. E.g.: An expression prefixed with the ampersand "&" is the "and" predicate expression: it is considered a match if the following expression is a match, but it does not consume any input. An expression prefixed with the exclamation point "!" is the "not" predicate expression: it is considered a match if the following expression is not a match, but it does not consume any input. E.g.: The expression following the & and ! operators can be a code block. In that case, the code block must return a bool and an error. The operator's semantic is the same, & is a match if the code block returns true, ! is a match if the code block returns false. The code block has access to any labeled value defined in its scope. E.g.: An expression followed by "*", "?" or "+" is a match if the expression occurs zero or more times ("*"), zero or one time "?" or one or more times ("+") respectively. The match is greedy, it will match as many times as possible. E.g. A literal matcher tries to match the input against a single character or a string literal. The literal may be a single-quoted single character, a double-quoted string or a backtick-quoted raw string. The same rules as in Go apply regarding the allowed characters and escapes. The literal may be followed by a lowercase "i" (outside the ending quote) to indicate that the match is case-insensitive. E.g.: A character class matcher tries to match the input against a class of characters inside square brackets "[...]". Inside the brackets, characters represent themselves and the same escapes as in string literals are available, except that the single- and double-quote escape is not valid, instead the closing square bracket "]" must be escaped to be used. Character ranges can be specified using the "[a-z]" notation. Unicode classes can be specified using the "[\pL]" notation, where L is a single-letter Unicode class of characters, or using the "[\p{Class}]" notation where Class is a valid Unicode class (e.g. "Latin"). As for string literals, a lowercase "i" may follow the matcher (outside the ending square bracket) to indicate that the match is case-insensitive. A "^" as first character inside the square brackets indicates that the match is inverted (it is a match if the input does not match the character class matcher). E.g.: The any matcher is represented by the dot ".". It matches any character except the end of file, thus the "!." expression is used to indicate "match the end of file". E.g.: Code blocks can be added to generate custom Go code. There are three kinds of code blocks: the initializer, the action and the predicate. All code blocks appear inside curly braces "{...}". The initializer must appear first in the grammar, before any rule. It is copied as-is (minus the wrapping curly braces) at the top of the generated parser. It may contain function declarations, types, variables, etc. just like any Go file. Every symbol declared here will be available to all other code blocks. Although the initializer is optional in a valid grammar, it is usually required to generate a valid Go source code file (for the package clause). E.g.: Action code blocks are code blocks declared after an expression in a rule. Those code blocks are turned into a method on the "*current" type in the generated source code. The method receives any labeled expression's value as argument (as interface{}) and must return two values, the first being the value of the expression (an interface{}), and the second an error. If a non-nil error is returned, it is added to the list of errors that the parser will return. E.g.: Predicate code blocks are code blocks declared immediately after the and "&" or the not "!" operators. Like action code blocks, predicate code blocks are turned into a method on the "*current" type in the generated source code. The method receives any labeled expression's value as argument (as interface{}) and must return two values, the first being a bool and the second an error. If a non-nil error is returned, it is added to the list of errors that the parser will return. E.g.: The current type is a struct that provides two useful fields that can be accessed in action and predicate code blocks: "pos" and "text". The "pos" field indicates the current position of the parser in the source input. It is itself a struct with three fields: "line", "col" and "offset". Line is a 1-based line number, col is a 1-based column number that counts runes from the start of the line, and offset is a 0-based byte offset. The "text" field is the slice of bytes of the current match. It is empty in a predicate code block. The parser generated by pigeon exports a few symbols so that it can be used as a package with public functions to parse input text. The exported API is: See the godoc page of the generated parser for the test/predicates grammar for an example documentation page of the exported API: http://godoc.org/github.com/mna/pigeon/test/predicates. Like the grammar used to generate the parser, the input text must be UTF-8-encoded Unicode. The start rule of the parser is the first rule in the PEG grammar used to generate the parser. A call to any of the Parse* functions returns the value generated by executing the grammar on the provided input text, and an optional error. Typically, the grammar should generate some kind of abstract syntax tree (AST), but for simple grammars it may evaluate the result immediately, such as in the examples/calculator example. There are no constraints imposed on the author of the grammar, it can return whatever is needed. When the parser returns a non-nil error, the error is always of type errList, which is defined as a slice of errors ([]error). Each error in the list is of type *parserError. This is a struct that has an "Inner" field that can be used to access the original error. So if a code block returns some well-known error like: The original error can be accessed this way: By defaut the parser will continue after an error is returned and will cumulate all errors found during parsing. If the grammar reaches a point where it shouldn't continue, a panic statement can be used to terminate parsing. The panic will be caught at the top-level of the Parse* call and will be converted into a *parserError like any error, and an errList will still be returned to the caller. The divide by zero error in the examples/calculator grammar leverages this feature (no special code is needed to handle division by zero, if it happens, the runtime panics and it is recovered and returned as a parsing error). Providing good error reporting in a parser is not a trivial task. Part of it is provided by the pigeon tool, by offering features such as filename, position and rule name in the error message, but an important part of good error reporting needs to be done by the grammar author. For example, many programming languages use double-quotes for string literals. Usually, if the opening quote is found, the closing quote is expected, and if none is found, there won't be any other rule that will match, there's no need to backtrack and try other choices, an error should be added to the list and the match should be consumed. In order to do this, the grammar can look something like this: This is just one example, but it illustrates the idea that error reporting needs to be thought out when designing the grammar. Generated parsers have user-provided code mixed with pigeon code in the same package, so there is no package boundary in the resulting code to prevent access to unexported symbols. What is meant to be implementation details in pigeon is also available to user code - which doesn't mean it should be used. For this reason, it is important to precisely define what is intended to be the supported API of pigeon, the parts that will be stable in future versions. The "stability" of the API attempts to make a similar guarantee as the Go 1 compatibility [5]. The following lists what part of the current pigeon code falls under that guarantee (features may be added in the future): The pigeon command-line flags and arguments: those will not be removed and will maintain the same semantics. The explicitly exported API generated by pigeon. See [6] for the documentation of this API on a generated parser. The PEG syntax, as documented above. The code blocks (except the initializer) will always be generated as methods on the *current type, and this type is guaranteed to have the fields pos (type position) and text (type []byte). There are no guarantees on other fields and methods of this type. The position type will always have the fields line, col and offset, all defined as int. There are no guarantees on other fields and methods of this type. The type of the error value returned by the Parse* functions, when not nil, will always be errList defined as a []error. There are no guarantees on methods of this type, other than the fact it implements the error interface. Individual errors in the errList will always be of type *parserError, and this type is guaranteed to have an Inner field that contains the original error value. There are no guarantees on other fields and methods of this type. References:

Command mox is a modern, secure, full-featured, open source mail server for low-maintenance self-hosted email. Mox is started with the "serve" subcommand, but mox also has many other subcommands. Many of those commands talk to a running mox instance, through the ctl file in the data directory. Specify the configuration file (that holds the path to the data directory) through the -config flag or MOXCONF environment variable. Commands that don't talk to a running mox instance are often for testing/debugging email functionality. For example for parsing an email message, or looking up SPF/DKIM/DMARC records. Below is the usage information as printed by the command when started without any parameters. Followed by the help and usage information for each command. Start mox, serving SMTP/IMAP/HTTPS. Incoming email is accepted over SMTP. Email can be retrieved by users using IMAP. HTTP listeners are started for the admin/account web interfaces, and for automated TLS configuration. Missing essential TLS certificates are immediately requested, other TLS certificates are requested on demand. Only implemented on unix systems, not Windows. Quickstart generates configuration files and prints instructions to quickly set up a mox instance. Quickstart writes configuration files, prints initial admin and account passwords, DNS records you should create. If you run it on Linux it writes a systemd service file and prints commands to enable and start mox as service. The user or uid is optional, defaults to "mox", and is the user or uid/gid mox will run as after initialization. Quickstart assumes mox will run on the machine you run quickstart on and uses its host name and public IPs. On many systems the hostname is not a fully qualified domain name, but only the first dns "label", e.g. "mail" in case of "mail.example.org". If so, quickstart does a reverse DNS lookup to find the hostname, and as fallback uses the label plus the domain of the email address you specified. Use flag -hostname to explicitly specify the hostname mox will run on. Mox is by far easiest to operate if you let it listen on port 443 (HTTPS) and 80 (HTTP). TLS will be fully automatic with ACME with Let's Encrypt. You can run mox along with an existing webserver, but because of MTA-STS and autoconfig, you'll need to forward HTTPS traffic for two domains to mox. Run "mox quickstart -existing-webserver ..." to generate configuration files and instructions for configuring mox along with an existing webserver. But please first consider configuring mox on port 443. It can itself serve domains with HTTP/HTTPS, including with automatic TLS with ACME, is easily configured through both configuration files and admin web interface, and can act as a reverse proxy (and static file server for that matter), so you can forward traffic to your existing backend applications. Look for "WebHandlers:" in the output of "mox config describe-domains" and see the output of "mox config example webhandlers". Shut mox down, giving connections maximum 3 seconds to stop before closing them. While shutting down, new IMAP and SMTP connections will get a status response indicating temporary unavailability. Existing connections will get a 3 second period to finish their transaction and shut down. Under normal circumstances, only IMAP has long-living connections, with the IDLE command to get notified of new mail deliveries. Set new password an account. The password is read from stdin. Secrets derived from the password, but not the password itself, are stored in the account database. The stored secrets are for authentication with: scram-sha-256, scram-sha-1, cram-md5, plain text (bcrypt hash). The parameter is an account name, as configured under Accounts in domains.conf and as present in the data/accounts/ directory, not a configured email address for an account. Set a new admin password, for the web interface. The password is read from stdin. Its bcrypt hash is stored in a file named "adminpasswd" in the configuration directory. Print the log levels, or set a new default log level, or a level for the given package. By default, a single log level applies to all logging in mox. But for each "pkg", an overriding log level can be configured. Examples of packages: smtpserver, smtpclient, queue, imapserver, spf, dkim, dmarc, junk, message, etc. Specify a pkg and an empty level to clear the configured level for a package. Valid labels: error, info, debug, trace, traceauth, tracedata. List hold rules for the delivery queue. Messages submitted to the queue that match a hold rule will be marked as on hold and not scheduled for delivery. Add hold rule for the delivery queue. Add a hold rule to mark matching newly submitted messages as on hold. Set the matching rules with the flags. Don't specify any flags to match all submitted messages. Remove hold rule for the delivery queue. Remove a hold rule by its id. List matching messages in the delivery queue. Prints the message with its ID, last and next delivery attempts, last error. Mark matching messages on hold. Messages that are on hold are not delivered until marked as off hold again, or otherwise handled by the admin. Mark matching messages off hold. Once off hold, messages can be delivered according to their current next delivery attempt. See the "queue schedule" command. Change next delivery attempt for matching messages. The next delivery attempt is adjusted by the duration parameter. If the -now flag is set, the new delivery attempt is set to the duration added to the current time, instead of added to the current scheduled time. Schedule immediate delivery with "mox queue schedule -now 0". Set transport for matching messages. By default, the routing rules determine how a message is delivered. The default and common case is direct delivery with SMTP. Messages can get a previously configured transport assigned to use for delivery, e.g. using submission to another mail server or with connections over a SOCKS proxy. Set TLS requirements for delivery of matching messages. Value "yes" is handled as if the RequireTLS extension was specified during submission. Value "no" is handled as if the message has a header "TLS-Required: No". This header is not added by the queue. If messages without this header are relayed through other mail servers they will apply their own default TLS policy. Value "default" is the default behaviour, currently for unverified opportunistic TLS. Fail delivery of matching messages, delivering DSNs. Failing a message is handled similar to how delivery is given up after all delivery attempts failed. The DSN (delivery status notification) message contains a line saying the message was canceled by the admin. Remove matching messages from the queue. Dangerous operation, this completely removes the message. If you want to store the message, use "queue dump" before removing. Dump a message from the queue. The message is printed to stdout and is in standard internet mail format. List matching messages in the retired queue. Prints messages with their ID and results. Print a message from the retired queue. Prints a JSON representation of the information from the retired queue. Print addresses in suppression list. Add address to suppression list for account. Remove address from suppression list for account. Check if address is present in suppression list, for any or specific account. List matching webhooks in the queue. Prints list of webhooks, their IDs and basic information. Change next delivery attempt for matching webhooks. The next delivery attempt is adjusted by the duration parameter. If the -now flag is set, the new delivery attempt is set to the duration added to the current time, instead of added to the current scheduled time. Schedule immediate delivery with "mox queue schedule -now 0". Fail delivery of matching webhooks. Print details of a webhook from the queue. The webhook is printed to stdout as JSON. List matching webhooks in the retired queue. Prints list of retired webhooks, their IDs and basic information. Print details of a webhook from the retired queue. The retired webhook is printed to stdout as JSON. Import a maildir into an account. The mbox/maildir archive is accessed and imported by the running mox process, so it must have access to the archive files. The default suggested systemd service file isolates mox from most of the file system, with only the "data/" directory accessible, so you may want to put the mbox/maildir archive files in a directory like "data/import/" to make it available to mox. By default, messages will train the junk filter based on their flags and, if "automatic junk flags" configuration is set, based on mailbox naming. If the destination mailbox is the Sent mailbox, the recipients of the messages are added to the message metadata, causing later incoming messages from these recipients to be accepted, unless other reputation signals prevent that. Users can also import mailboxes/messages through the account web page by uploading a zip or tgz file with mbox and/or maildirs. Messages are imported even if already present. Importing messages twice will result in duplicate messages. Mailbox flags, like "seen", "answered", will be imported. An optional dovecot-keywords file can specify additional flags, like Forwarded/Junk/NotJunk. Import an mbox into an account. Using mbox is not recommended, maildir is a better defined format. The mbox/maildir archive is accessed and imported by the running mox process, so it must have access to the archive files. The default suggested systemd service file isolates mox from most of the file system, with only the "data/" directory accessible, so you may want to put the mbox/maildir archive files in a directory like "data/import/" to make it available to mox.

If the destination mailbox is the Sent mailbox, the recipients of the messages are added to the message metadata, causing later incoming messages from these recipients to be accepted, unless other reputation signals prevent that. Users can also import mailboxes/messages through the account web page by uploading a zip or tgz file with mbox and/or maildirs. Messages are imported even if already present. Importing messages twice will result in duplicate messages. Export one or all mailboxes from an account in maildir format. Export bypasses a running mox instance. It opens the account mailbox/message database file directly. This may block if a running mox instance also has the database open, e.g. for IMAP connections. To export from a running instance, use the accounts web page or webmail. Export messages from one or all mailboxes in an account in mbox format. Using mbox is not recommended. Maildir is a better format. Export bypasses a running mox instance. It opens the account mailbox/message database file directly. This may block if a running mox instance also has the database open, e.g. for IMAP connections. To export from a running instance, use the accounts web page or webmail. For mbox export, "mboxrd" is used where message lines starting with the magic "From " string are escaped by prepending a >. All ">*From " are escaped, otherwise reconstructing the original could lose a ">". Start a local SMTP/IMAP server that accepts all messages, useful when testing/developing software that sends email. Localserve starts mox with a configuration suitable for local email-related software development/testing. It listens for SMTP/Submission(s), IMAP(s) and HTTP(s), on the regular port numbers + 1000. Data is stored in the system user's configuration directory under "mox-localserve", e.g. $HOME/.config/mox-localserve/ on linux, but can be overridden with the -dir flag. If the directory does not yet exist, it is automatically initialized with configuration files, an account with email address mox@localhost and password moxmoxmox, and a newly generated self-signed TLS certificate. Incoming messages are delivered as normal, falling back to accepting and delivering to the mox account for unknown addresses. Submitted messages are added to the queue, which delivers by ignoring the destination servers, always connecting to itself instead. Recipient addresses with the following localpart suffixes are handled specially: - "temperror": fail with a temporary error code - "permerror": fail with a permanent error code - [45][0-9][0-9]: fail with the specific error code - "timeout": no response (for an hour) If the localpart begins with "mailfrom" or "rcptto", the error is returned during those commands instead of during "data". Prints help about matching commands. If multiple commands match, they are listed along with the first line of their help text. If a single command matches, its usage and full help text is printed. Creates a backup of the data directory. Backup creates consistent snapshots of the databases and message files and copies other files in the data directory. Empty directories are not copied. These files can then be stored elsewhere for long-term storage, or used to fall back to should an upgrade fail. Simply copying files in the data directory while mox is running can result in unusable database files. Message files never change (they are read-only, though can be removed) and are hard-linked so they don't consume additional space. If hardlinking fails, for example when the backup destination directory is on a different file system, a regular copy is made. Using a destination directory like "data/tmp/backup" increases the odds hardlinking succeeds: the default systemd service file specifically mounts the data directory, causing attempts to hardlink outside it to fail with an error about cross-device linking. All files in the data directory that aren't recognized (i.e. other than known database files, message files, an acme directory, the "tmp" directory, etc), are stored, but with a warning. Remove files in the destination directory before doing another backup. The backup command will not overwrite files, but print and return errors. Exit code 0 indicates the backup was successful. A clean successful backup does not print any output, but may print warnings. Use the -verbose flag for details, including timing. To restore a backup, first shut down mox, move away the old data directory and move an earlier backed up directory in its place, run "mox verifydata", possibly with the "-fix" option, and restart mox. After the restore, you may also want to run "mox bumpuidvalidity" for each account for which messages in a mailbox changed, to force IMAP clients to synchronize mailbox state. Before upgrading, to check if the upgrade will likely succeed, first make a backup, then use the new mox binary to run "mox verifydata" on the backup. This can change the backup files (e.g. upgrade database files, move away unrecognized message files), so you should make a new backup before actually upgrading. Verify the contents of a data directory, typically of a backup. Verifydata checks all database files to see if they are valid BoltDB/bstore databases. It checks that all messages in the database have a corresponding on-disk message file and there are no unrecognized files. If option -fix is specified, unrecognized message files are moved away. This may be needed after a restore, because messages enqueued or delivered in the future may get those message sequence numbers assigned and writing the message file would fail. Consistency of message/mailbox UID, UIDNEXT and UIDVALIDITY is verified as well. Because verifydata opens the database files, schema upgrades may automatically be applied. This can happen if you use a new mox release. It is useful to run "mox verifydata" with a new binary before attempting an upgrade, but only on a copy of the database files, as made with "mox backup". Before upgrading, make a new backup again since "mox verifydata" may have upgraded the database files, possibly making them potentially no longer readable by the previous version. Print licenses of mox source code and dependencies. Parses and validates the configuration files. If valid, the command exits with status 0. If not valid, all errors encountered are printed. Check the DNS records with the configuration for the domain, and print any errors/warnings. Prints annotated DNS records as zone file that should be created for the domain. The zone file can be imported into existing DNS software. You should review the DNS records, especially if your domain previously/currently has email configured. Prints an annotated empty configuration for use as domains.conf. The domains configuration file contains the domains and their configuration, and accounts and their configuration. This includes the configured email addresses. The mox admin web interface, and the mox command line interface, can make changes to this file. Mox automatically reloads this file when it changes. Like the static configuration, the example domains.conf printed by this command needs modifications to make it valid. Prints an annotated empty configuration for use as mox.conf. The static configuration file cannot be reloaded while mox is running. Mox has to be restarted for changes to the static configuration file to take effect. This configuration file needs modifications to make it valid. For example, it may contain unfinished list items. Add an account with an email address and reload the configuration. Email can be delivered to this address/account. A password has to be configured explicitly, see the setaccountpassword command. Remove an account and reload the configuration. Email addresses for this account will also be removed, and incoming email for these addresses will be rejected. All data for the account will be removed. Adds an address to an account and reloads the configuration. If address starts with a @ (i.e. a missing localpart), this is a catchall address for the domain. Remove an address and reload the configuration. Incoming email for this address will be rejected after removing an address. Adds a new domain to the configuration and reloads the configuration. The account is used for the postmaster mailboxes the domain, including as DMARC and TLS reporting. Localpart is the "username" at the domain for this account. If must be set if and only if account does not yet exist. Remove a domain from the configuration and reload the configuration. This is a dangerous operation. Incoming email delivery for this domain will be rejected. List aliases for domain. Print settings and members of alias. Add new alias with one or more addresses. Update alias configuration. Remove alias. Add addresses to alias. Remove addresses from alias. Describe configuration for mox when invoked as sendmail. Prints a systemd unit service file for mox. This is the same file as generated using quickstart. If the systemd service file has changed with a newer version of mox, use this command to generate an up to date version. Ensure host private keys exist for TLS listeners with ACME. In mox.conf, each listener can have TLS configured. Long-lived private key files can be specified, which will be used when requesting ACME certificates. Configuring these private keys makes it feasible to publish DANE TLSA records for the corresponding public keys in DNS, protected with DNSSEC, allowing TLS certificate verification without depending on a list of Certificate Authorities (CAs). Previous versions of mox did not pre-generate private keys for use with ACME certificates, but would generate private keys on-demand. By explicitly configuring private keys, they will not change automatedly with new certificates, and the DNS TLSA records stay valid. This command looks for listeners in mox.conf with TLS with ACME configured. For each missing host private key (of type rsa-2048 and ecdsa-p256) a key is written to config/hostkeys/. If a certificate exists in the ACME "cache", its private key is copied. Otherwise a new private key is generated. Snippets for manually updating/editing mox.conf are printed. After running this command, and updating mox.conf, run "mox config dnsrecords" for a domain and create the TLSA DNS records it suggests to enable DANE. List available config examples, or print a specific example. Check if a newer version of mox is available. A single DNS TXT lookup to _updates.xmox.nl tells if a new version is available. If so, a changelog is fetched from https://updates.xmox.nl, and the individual entries verified with a builtin public key. The changelog is printed. Turn an ID from a Received header into a cid, for looking up in logs. A cid is essentially a connection counter initialized when mox starts. Each log line contains a cid. Received headers added by mox contain a unique ID that can be decrypted to a cid by admin of a mox instance only. Print the configuration for email clients for a domain. Sending email is typically not done on the SMTP port 25, but on submission ports 465 (with TLS) and 587 (without initial TLS, but usually added to the connection with STARTTLS). For IMAP, the port with TLS is 993 and without is 143. Without TLS/STARTTLS, passwords are sent in clear text, which should only be configured over otherwise secured connections, like a VPN. Dial the address using TLS with certificate verification using DANE. Data is copied between connection and stdin/stdout until either side closes the connection. Connect to MX server for domain using STARTTLS verified with DANE. If no destination host is specified, regular delivery logic is used to find the hosts to attempt delivery too. This involves following CNAMEs for the domain, looking up MX records, and possibly falling back to the domain name itself as host. If a destination host is specified, that is the only candidate host considered for dialing. With a list of destinations gathered, each is dialed until a successful SMTP session verified with DANE has been initialized, including EHLO and STARTTLS commands. Once connected, data is copied between connection and stdin/stdout, until either side closes the connection. This command follows the same logic as delivery attempts made from the queue, sharing most of its code. Print TLSA record for given certificate/key and parameters. Valid values: - usage: pkix-ta (0), pkix-ee (1), dane-ta (2), dane-ee (3) - selector: cert (0), spki (1) - matchtype: full (0), sha2-256 (1), sha2-512 (2) Common DANE TLSA record parameters are: dane-ee spki sha2-256, or 3 1 1, followed by a sha2-256 hash of the DER-encoded "SPKI" (subject public key info) from the certificate. An example DNS zone file entry: The first usable information from the pem file is used to compose the TLSA record. In case of selector "cert", a certificate is required. Otherwise the "subject public key info" (spki) of the first certificate or public or private key (pkcs#8, pkcs#1 or ec private key) is used. Lookup DNS name of given type. Lookup always prints whether the response was DNSSEC-protected. Examples: mox dns lookup ptr 1.1.1.1 mox dns lookup mx xmox.nl mox dns lookup txt _dmarc.xmox.nl. mox dns lookup tlsa _25._tcp.xmox.nl Generate a new ed25519 key for use with DKIM. Ed25519 keys are much smaller than RSA keys of comparable cryptographic strength. This is convenient because of maximum DNS message sizes. At the time of writing, not many mail servers appear to support ed25519 DKIM keys though, so it is recommended to sign messages with both RSA and ed25519 keys. Generate a new 2048 bit RSA private key for use with DKIM. The generated file is in PEM format, and has a comment it is generated for use with DKIM, by mox. Lookup and print the DKIM record for the selector at the domain. Print a DKIM DNS TXT record with the public key derived from the private key read from stdin. The DNS should be configured as a TXT record at $selector._domainkey.$domain. Verify the DKIM signatures in a message and print the results. The message is parsed, and the DKIM-Signature headers are validated. Validation of older messages may fail because the DNS records have been removed or changed by now, or because the signature header may have specified an expiration time that was passed. Sign a message, adding DKIM-Signature headers based on the domain in the From header. The message is parsed, the domain looked up in the configuration files, and DKIM-Signature headers generated. The message is printed with the DKIM-Signature headers prepended. Lookup dmarc policy for domain, a DNS TXT record at _dmarc.<domain>, validate and print it. Parse a DMARC report from an email message, and print its extracted details. DMARC reports are periodically mailed, if requested in the DMARC DNS record of a domain. Reports are sent by mail servers that received messages with our domain in a From header. This may or may not be legatimate email. DMARC reports contain summaries of evaluations of DMARC and DKIM/SPF, which can help understand email deliverability problems. Parse an email message and evaluate it against the DMARC policy of the domain in the From-header. mailfromaddress and helodomain are used for SPF validation. If both are empty, SPF validation is skipped. mailfromaddress should be the address used as MAIL FROM in the SMTP session. For DSN messages, that address may be empty. The helo domain was specified at the beginning of the SMTP transaction that delivered the message. These values can be found in message headers. For each reporting address in the domain's DMARC record, check if it has opted into receiving reports (if needed). A DMARC record can request reports about DMARC evaluations to be sent to an email/http address. If the organizational domains of that of the DMARC record and that of the report destination address do not match, the destination address must opt-in to receiving DMARC reports by creating a DMARC record at <dmarcdomain>._report._dmarc.<reportdestdomain>. Test if IP is in the DNS blocklist of the zone, e.g. bl.spamcop.net. If the IP is in the blocklist, an explanation is printed. This is typically a URL with more information. Check the health of the DNS blocklist represented by zone, e.g. bl.spamcop.net. The health of a DNS blocklist can be checked by querying for 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.2. The second must and the first must not be present. Lookup the MTASTS record and policy for the domain. MTA-STS is a mechanism for a domain to specify if it requires TLS connections for delivering email. If a domain has a valid MTA-STS DNS TXT record at _mta-sts.<domain> it signals it implements MTA-STS. A policy can then be fetched at https://mta-sts.<domain>/.well-known/mta-sts.txt. The policy specifies the mode (enforce, testing, none), which MX servers support TLS and should be used, and how long the policy can be cached. Recreate and retrain the junk filter for the account. Useful after having made changes to the junk filter configuration, or if the implementation has changed. Sendmail is a drop-in replacement for /usr/sbin/sendmail to deliver emails sent by unix processes like cron. If invoked as "sendmail", it will act as sendmail for sending messages. Its intention is to let processes like cron send emails. Messages are submitted to an actual mail server over SMTP. The destination mail server and credentials are configured in /etc/moxsubmit.conf, see mox config describe-sendmail. The From message header is rewritten to the configured address. When the addressee appears to be a local user, because without @, the message is sent to the configured default address. If submitting an email fails, it is added to a directory moxsubmit.failures in the user's home directory. Most flags are ignored to fake compatibility with other sendmail implementations. A single recipient or the -t flag with a To-header is required. With the -t flag, Cc and Bcc headers are not handled specially, so Bcc is not removed and the addresses do not receive the email. /etc/moxsubmit.conf should be group-readable and not readable by others and this binary should be setgid that group: Check the status of IP for the policy published in DNS for the domain. IPs may be allowed to send for a domain, or disallowed, and several shades in between. If not allowed, an explanation may be provided by the policy. If so, the explanation is printed. The SPF mechanism that matched (if any) is also printed. Lookup the SPF record for the domain and print it. Parse the record as SPF record. If valid, nothing is printed. Lookup the TLSRPT record for the domain. A TLSRPT record typically contains an email address where reports about TLS connectivity should be sent. Mail servers attempting delivery to our domain should attempt to use TLS. TLSRPT lets them report how many connection successfully used TLS, and how what kind of errors occurred otherwise. Parse and print the TLSRPT in the message. The report is printed in formatted JSON. Prints this mox version. Lists available methods, prints request/response parameters for method, or calls a method with a request read from standard input. List available examples, or print a specific example. Change the IMAP UID validity of the mailbox, causing IMAP clients to refetch messages. This can be useful after manually repairing metadata about the account/mailbox. Opens account database file directly. Ensure mox does not have the account open, or is not running. Reassign UIDs in one mailbox or all mailboxes in an account and bump UID validity, causing IMAP clients to refetch messages. Opens account database file directly. Ensure mox does not have the account open, or is not running. Fix inconsistent UIDVALIDITY and UIDNEXT in messages/mailboxes/account. The next UID to use for a message in a mailbox should always be higher than any existing message UID in the mailbox. If it is not, the mailbox UIDNEXT is updated. Each mailbox has a UIDVALIDITY sequence number, which should always be lower than the per-account next UIDVALIDITY to use. If it is not, the account next UIDVALIDITY is updated. Opens account database file directly. Ensure mox does not have the account open, or is not running. Ensure message sizes in the database matching the sum of the message prefix length and on-disk file size. Messages with an inconsistent size are also parsed again. If an inconsistency is found, you should probably also run "mox bumpuidvalidity" on the mailboxes or entire account to force IMAP clients to refetch messages. Parse all messages in the account or all accounts again. Can be useful after upgrading mox with improved message parsing. Messages are parsed in batches, so other access to the mailboxes/messages are not blocked while reparsing all messages. Ensure messages in the database have a pre-parsed MIME form in the database. Recalculate message counts for all mailboxes in the account, and total message size for quota. When a message is added to/removed from a mailbox, or when message flags change, the total, unread, unseen and deleted messages are accounted, the total size of the mailbox, and the total message size for the account. In case of a bug in this accounting, the numbers could become incorrect. This command will find, fix and print them. Parse message, print JSON representation. Reassign message threads. For all accounts, or optionally only the specified account. Threading for all messages in an account is first reset, and new base subject and normalized message-id saved with the message. Then all messages are evaluated and matched against their parents/ancestors. Messages are matched based on the References header, with a fall-back to an In-Reply-To header, and if neither is present/valid, based only on base subject. A References header typically points to multiple previous messages in a hierarchy. From oldest ancestor to most recent parent. An In-Reply-To header would have only a message-id of the parent message. A message is only linked to a parent/ancestor if their base subject is the same. This ensures unrelated replies, with a new subject, are placed in their own thread. The base subject is lower cased, has whitespace collapsed to a single space, and some components removed: leading "Re:", "Fwd:", "Fw:", or bracketed tag (that mailing lists often add, e.g. "[listname]"), trailing "(fwd)", or enclosing "[fwd: ...]". Messages are linked to all their ancestors. If an intermediate parent/ancestor message is deleted in the future, the message can still be linked to the earlier ancestors. If the direct parent already wasn't available while matching, this is stored as the message having a "missing link" to its stored ancestors.

Package users implements common web user workflows. Most of the provided functions are regular net/http handler functions. The following functionality is provided: Special emphasis is placed on reducing the risk of someone hijacking user accounts. This is achieved by enforcing a certain user structure and following certain procedures: If your application does not follow these principles, you may not be able to use this package as is. However, the code may serve as a starting point if you apply its principles to your own use case. Note also the following: The users.Main() function registers all handlers and starts an HTTP server: Any other handlers can be added to the http.DefaultServeMux before calling users.Main(). Alternatively, you can start your own HTTP server. See the implementation of users.Main() for how to add the package's handlers. See the package example for a most basic way to use the package. In addition, the global Config struct contains all the variables that need to be adjusted for your specific application. It provides sensible defaults out of the box which you can see in its documentation. The fields are as follows: The following fields control how templates are handled: If your application supports internationalization, you can set the Internationalization field to true. If set to true, this package's code checks for the "lang" cookie and appends its value to the HTMLTemplateDir and MailTemplateDir directories to search for template files. Cookie values must be of the format "xx" or "xx-XX" (e.g. "en-US"). If they don't have this format or if the corresponding subdirectory does not exist, the search falls back to the HTMLTemplateDir and MailTemplateDir directories. It is up to the application to set the "lang" cookie. Emails are sent if the SendEmails field is set to true. You can provide your own email function by implementing the SendEmail field. Alternatively, the net/smtp package is used to send emails. The following fields need to specified (fields starting with "SMTP" are only needed when you don't provide your own SendEmail implementation): A number of functions serve as the interface to your database: Anyone using this package must define a type which implements this package's User interface. A user is in one of three possible states: Users have an ID which must be unique (e.g. generated by CUID() in the package github.com/rivo/sessions). But this package may access users based on their unique email address, their verification ID, or their password reset token. You must implement the Config.NewUser function. There are basic HTML templates (in the "html" subdirectory) and email templates (in the "mail" subdirectory). All HTML templates starting with "error_" are templates that will generate error messages which are then embedded in another HTML template. When starting to work with this package, you will want to make a copy of these two subdirectories and modify the templates to your needs. This package implements some functions to render templates which are also public so you may use them in other places, too. The function RenderPage() takes a template filename and a data object (to which the template will be bound), renders the template, and sends it to the browser. Instead of calling this function, however, RenderPageBasic() is used more often. It calls RenderPage() but populates the data object with the Config object and the User object (if one was provided). If an error message needs to be shown to the user, RenderPageError() can be used. This actually involves two templates, one to generate only the error message (these template files start with "error_"), and the other to generate the HTML file which shows the error message. Config and User will also be bound to the latter as well as any data sent to the error message template. There is another function for errors, RenderProgramError(), which is used to show program errors. These are unexpected errors, for example database connection issues, and should always be followed up on. While the user usually only sees a basic error message, more detailed information about the error is sent to the logger for further inspection. The SendMail() function renders mail templates (based on text/template) to send them to the user's email address. When writing your own templates, it is helpful to make a copy of the existing example templates and modify them to your needs. All templates include a header and a footer file. If you include more files, you will need to set the Config.HTMLTemplateIncludes and Config.MailTemplateIncludes fields accordingly.

Package ovirtclient provides a human-friendly Go client for the oVirt Engine. It provides an abstraction layer for the oVirt API, as well as a mocking facility for testing purposes. This documentation contains two parts. This introduction explains setting up the client with the credentials. The API doc contains the individual API calls. When reading the API doc, start with the Client interface: it contains all components of the API. The individual API's, their documentation and examples are located in subinterfaces, such as DiskClient. There are several ways to create a client instance. The most basic way is to use the New() function as follows: The mock client simulates the oVirt engine behavior in-memory without needing an actual running engine. This is a good way to provide a testing facility. It can be created using the NewMock method: That's it! However, to make it really useful, you will need the test helper which can set up test fixtures. The test helper can work in two ways: Either it sets up test fixtures in the mock client, or it sets up a live connection and identifies a usable storage domain, cluster, etc. for testing purposes. The ovirtclient.NewMockTestHelper() function can be used to create a test helper with a mock client in the backend: The easiest way to set up the test helper for a live connection is by using environment variables. To do that, you can use the ovirtclient.NewLiveTestHelperFromEnv() function: This function will inspect environment variables to determine if a connection to a live oVirt engine can be established. The following environment variables are supported: URL of the oVirt engine API. Mandatory. The username for the oVirt engine. Mandatory. The password for the oVirt engine. Mandatory. A file containing the CA certificate in PEM format. Provide the CA certificate in PEM format directly. Disable certificate verification if set. Not recommended. The cluster to use for testing. Will be automatically chosen if not provided. ID of the blank template. Will be automatically chosen if not provided. Storage domain to use for testing. Will be automatically chosen if not provided. VNIC profile to use for testing. Will be automatically chosen if not provided. You can also create the test helper manually: This library provides extensive logging. Each API interaction is logged on the debug level, and other messages are added on other levels. In order to provide logging this library uses the go-ovirt-client-log (https://github.com/oVirt/go-ovirt-client-log) interface definition. As long as your logger implements this interface, you will be able to receive log messages. The logging library also provides a few built-in loggers. For example, you can log via the default Go log interface: Or, you can also log in tests: You can also disable logging: Finally, we also provide an adapter library for klog here: https://github.com/oVirt/go-ovirt-client-log-klog Modern-day oVirt engines run secured with TLS. This means that the client needs a way to verify the certificate the server is presenting. This is controlled by the tls parameter of the New() function. You can implement your own source by implementing the TLSProvider interface, but the package also includes a ready-to-use provider. Create the provider using the TLS() function: This provider has several functions. The easiest to set up is using the system trust root for certificates. However, this won't work own Windows: Now you need to add your oVirt engine certificate to your system trust root. If you don't want to, or can't add the certificate to the system trust root, you can also directly provide it to the client. Finally, you can also disable certificate verification. Do we need to say that this is a very, very bad idea? The configured tls variable can then be passed to the New() function to create an oVirt client. This library attempts to retry API calls that can be retried if possible. Each function has a sensible retry policy. However, you may want to customize the retries by passing one or more retry flags. The following retry flags are supported: This strategy will stop retries when the context parameter is canceled. This strategy adds a wait time after each time, which is increased by the given factor on each try. The default is a backoff with a factor of 2. This strategy will cancel retries if the error in question is a permanent error. This is enabled by default. This strategy will abort retries if a maximum number of tries is reached. On complex calls the retries are counted per underlying API call. This strategy will abort retries if a certain time has been elapsed for the higher level call. This strategy will abort retries if a certain underlying API call takes longer than the specified duration.

Package validator implements value validations for structs and individual fields based on tags. It can also handle Cross-Field and Cross-Struct validation for nested structs and has the ability to dive into arrays and maps of any type. see more examples https://github.com/go-playground/validator/tree/v9/_examples Doing things this way is actually the way the standard library does, see the file.Open method here: The authors return type "error" to avoid the issue discussed in the following, where err is always != nil: Validator only InvalidValidationError for bad validation input, nil or ValidationErrors as type error; so, in your code all you need to do is check if the error returned is not nil, and if it's not check if error is InvalidValidationError ( if necessary, most of the time it isn't ) type cast it to type ValidationErrors like so err.(validator.ValidationErrors). Custom Validation functions can be added. Example: Cross-Field Validation can be done via the following tags: If, however, some custom cross-field validation is required, it can be done using a custom validation. Why not just have cross-fields validation tags (i.e. only eqcsfield and not eqfield)? The reason is efficiency. If you want to check a field within the same struct "eqfield" only has to find the field on the same struct (1 level). But, if we used "eqcsfield" it could be multiple levels down. Example: Multiple validators on a field will process in the order defined. Example: Bad Validator definitions are not handled by the library. Example: Baked In Cross-Field validation only compares fields on the same struct. If Cross-Field + Cross-Struct validation is needed you should implement your own custom validator. Comma (",") is the default separator of validation tags. If you wish to have a comma included within the parameter (i.e. excludesall=,) you will need to use the UTF-8 hex representation 0x2C, which is replaced in the code as a comma, so the above will become excludesall=0x2C. Pipe ("|") is the 'or' validation tags deparator. If you wish to have a pipe included within the parameter i.e. excludesall=| you will need to use the UTF-8 hex representation 0x7C, which is replaced in the code as a pipe, so the above will become excludesall=0x7C Here is a list of the current built in validators: Tells the validation to skip this struct field; this is particularly handy in ignoring embedded structs from being validated. (Usage: -) This is the 'or' operator allowing multiple validators to be used and accepted. (Usage: rbg|rgba) <-- this would allow either rgb or rgba colors to be accepted. This can also be combined with 'and' for example ( Usage: omitempty,rgb|rgba) When a field that is a nested struct is encountered, and contains this flag any validation on the nested struct will be run, but none of the nested struct fields will be validated. This is useful if inside of your program you know the struct will be valid, but need to verify it has been assigned. NOTE: only "required" and "omitempty" can be used on a struct itself. Same as structonly tag except that any struct level validations will not run. Allows conditional validation, for example if a field is not set with a value (Determined by the "required" validator) then other validation such as min or max won't run, but if a value is set validation will run. This tells the validator to dive into a slice, array or map and validate that level of the slice, array or map with the validation tags that follow. Multidimensional nesting is also supported, each level you wish to dive will require another dive tag. dive has some sub-tags, 'keys' & 'endkeys', please see the Keys & EndKeys section just below. Example #1 Example #2 Keys & EndKeys These are to be used together directly after the dive tag and tells the validator that anything between 'keys' and 'endkeys' applies to the keys of a map and not the values; think of it like the 'dive' tag, but for map keys instead of values. Multidimensional nesting is also supported, each level you wish to validate will require another 'keys' and 'endkeys' tag. These tags are only valid for maps. Example #1 Example #2 This validates that the value is not the data types default zero value. For numbers ensures value is not zero. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. The field under validation must be present and not empty only if any of the other specified fields are present. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. Examples: The field under validation must be present and not empty only if all of the other specified fields are present. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. Example: The field under validation must be present and not empty only when any of the other specified fields are not present. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. Examples: The field under validation must be present and not empty only when all of the other specified fields are not present. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. Example: This validates that the value is the default value and is almost the opposite of required. For numbers, length will ensure that the value is equal to the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is exactly that number of characters. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For numbers, max will ensure that the value is less than or equal to the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is at most that number of characters. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For numbers, min will ensure that the value is greater or equal to the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is at least that number of characters. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For strings & numbers, eq will ensure that the value is equal to the parameter given. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For strings & numbers, ne will ensure that the value is not equal to the parameter given. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For strings, ints, and uints, oneof will ensure that the value is one of the values in the parameter. The parameter should be a list of values separated by whitespace. Values may be strings or numbers. For numbers, this will ensure that the value is greater than the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is greater than that number of characters. For slices, arrays and maps it validates the number of items. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Time) For time.Time ensures the time value is greater than time.Now.UTC(). Same as 'min' above. Kept both to make terminology with 'len' easier. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Time) For time.Time ensures the time value is greater than or equal to time.Now.UTC(). For numbers, this will ensure that the value is less than the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is less than that number of characters. For slices, arrays, and maps it validates the number of items. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Time) For time.Time ensures the time value is less than time.Now.UTC(). Same as 'max' above. Kept both to make terminology with 'len' easier. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Time) For time.Time ensures the time value is less than or equal to time.Now.UTC(). This will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. Example #1: Example #2: Field Equals Another Field (relative) This does the same as eqfield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct. This will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. Examples: Field Does Not Equal Another Field (relative) This does the same as nefield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct. Only valid for Numbers and time.Time types, this will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. usage examples are for validation of a Start and End date: Example #1: Example #2: This does the same as gtfield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct. Only valid for Numbers and time.Time types, this will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. usage examples are for validation of a Start and End date: Example #1: Example #2: This does the same as gtefield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct. Only valid for Numbers and time.Time types, this will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. usage examples are for validation of a Start and End date: Example #1: Example #2: This does the same as ltfield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct. Only valid for Numbers and time.Time types, this will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. usage examples are for validation of a Start and End date: Example #1: Example #2: This does the same as ltefield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct. This does the same as contains except for struct fields. It should only be used with string types. See the behavior of reflect.Value.String() for behavior on other types. This does the same as excludes except for struct fields. It should only be used with string types. See the behavior of reflect.Value.String() for behavior on other types. For arrays & slices, unique will ensure that there are no duplicates. For maps, unique will ensure that there are no duplicate values. For slices of struct, unique will ensure that there are no duplicate values in a field of the struct specified via a parameter. This validates that a string value contains ASCII alpha characters only This validates that a string value contains ASCII alphanumeric characters only This validates that a string value contains unicode alpha characters only This validates that a string value contains unicode alphanumeric characters only This validates that a string value contains a basic numeric value. basic excludes exponents etc... for integers or float it returns true. This validates that a string value contains a valid hexadecimal. This validates that a string value contains a valid hex color including hashtag (#) This validates that a string value contains a valid rgb color This validates that a string value contains a valid rgba color This validates that a string value contains a valid hsl color This validates that a string value contains a valid hsla color This validates that a string value contains a valid email This may not conform to all possibilities of any rfc standard, but neither does any email provider accept all possibilities. This validates that a string value contains a valid file path and that the file exists on the machine. This is done using os.Stat, which is a platform independent function. This validates that a string value contains a valid url This will accept any url the golang request uri accepts but must contain a schema for example http:// or rtmp:// This validates that a string value contains a valid uri This will accept any uri the golang request uri accepts This validataes that a string value contains a valid URN according to the RFC 2141 spec. This validates that a string value contains a valid base64 value. Although an empty string is valid base64 this will report an empty string as an error, if you wish to accept an empty string as valid you can use this with the omitempty tag. This validates that a string value contains a valid base64 URL safe value according the the RFC4648 spec. Although an empty string is a valid base64 URL safe value, this will report an empty string as an error, if you wish to accept an empty string as valid you can use this with the omitempty tag. This validates that a string value contains a valid bitcoin address. The format of the string is checked to ensure it matches one of the three formats P2PKH, P2SH and performs checksum validation.

Package zap provides fast, structured, leveled logging. For applications that log in the hot path, reflection-based serialization and string formatting are prohibitively expensive - they're CPU-intensive and make many small allocations. Put differently, using json.Marshal and fmt.Fprintf to log tons of interface{} makes your application slow. Zap takes a different approach. It includes a reflection-free, zero-allocation JSON encoder, and the base Logger strives to avoid serialization overhead and allocations wherever possible. By building the high-level SugaredLogger on that foundation, zap lets users choose when they need to count every allocation and when they'd prefer a more familiar, loosely typed API. In contexts where performance is nice, but not critical, use the SugaredLogger. It's 4-10x faster than other structured logging packages and supports both structured and printf-style logging. Like log15 and go-kit, the SugaredLogger's structured logging APIs are loosely typed and accept a variadic number of key-value pairs. (For more advanced use cases, they also accept strongly typed fields - see the SugaredLogger.With documentation for details.) By default, loggers are unbuffered. However, since zap's low-level APIs allow buffering, calling Sync before letting your process exit is a good habit. In the rare contexts where every microsecond and every allocation matter, use the Logger. It's even faster than the SugaredLogger and allocates far less, but it only supports strongly-typed, structured logging. Choosing between the Logger and SugaredLogger doesn't need to be an application-wide decision: converting between the two is simple and inexpensive. The simplest way to build a Logger is to use zap's opinionated presets: NewExample, NewProduction, and NewDevelopment. These presets build a logger with a single function call: Presets are fine for small projects, but larger projects and organizations naturally require a bit more customization. For most users, zap's Config struct strikes the right balance between flexibility and convenience. See the package-level BasicConfiguration example for sample code. More unusual configurations (splitting output between files, sending logs to a message queue, etc.) are possible, but require direct use of go.uber.org/zap/zapcore. See the package-level AdvancedConfiguration example for sample code. The zap package itself is a relatively thin wrapper around the interfaces in go.uber.org/zap/zapcore. Extending zap to support a new encoding (e.g., BSON), a new log sink (e.g., Kafka), or something more exotic (perhaps an exception aggregation service, like Sentry or Rollbar) typically requires implementing the zapcore.Encoder, zapcore.WriteSyncer, or zapcore.Core interfaces. See the zapcore documentation for details. Similarly, package authors can use the high-performance Encoder and Core implementations in the zapcore package to build their own loggers. An FAQ covering everything from installation errors to design decisions is available at https://github.com/uber-go/zap/blob/master/FAQ.md.

Package gosnowflake is a pure Go Snowflake driver for the database/sql package. Clients can use the database/sql package directly. For example: Use Open to create a database handle with connection parameters: The Go Snowflake Driver supports the following connection syntaxes (or data source name formats): where all parameters must be escaped or use `Config` and `DSN` to construct a DSN string. The following example opens a database handle with the Snowflake account myaccount where the username is jsmith, password is mypassword, database is mydb, schema is testschema, and warehouse is mywh: The following connection parameters are supported: account <string>: Specifies the name of your Snowflake account, where string is the name assigned to your account by Snowflake. In the URL you received from Snowflake, your account name is the first segment in the domain (e.g. abc123 in https://abc123.snowflakecomputing.com). This parameter is optional if your account is specified after the @ character. If you are not on us-west-2 region or AWS deployment, then append the region after the account name, e.g. “<account>.<region>”. If you are not on AWS deployment, then append not only the region, but also the platform, e.g., “<account>.<region>.<platform>”. Account, region, and platform should be separated by a period (“.”), as shown above. If you are using a global url, then append connection group and "global", e.g., "account-<connection_group>.global". Account and connection group are separated by a dash ("-"), as shown above. region <string>: DEPRECATED. You may specify a region, such as “eu-central-1”, with this parameter. However, since this parameter is deprecated, it is best to specify the region as part of the account parameter. For details, see the description of the account parameter. database: Specifies the database to use by default in the client session (can be changed after login). schema: Specifies the database schema to use by default in the client session (can be changed after login). warehouse: Specifies the virtual warehouse to use by default for queries, loading, etc. in the client session (can be changed after login). role: Specifies the role to use by default for accessing Snowflake objects in the client session (can be changed after login). passcode: Specifies the passcode provided by Duo when using MFA for login. passcodeInPassword: false by default. Set to true if the MFA passcode is embedded in the login password. Appends the MFA passcode to the end of the password. loginTimeout: Specifies the timeout, in seconds, for login. The default is 60 seconds. The login request gives up after the timeout length if the HTTP response is success. authenticator: Specifies the authenticator to use for authenticating user credentials: To use the internal Snowflake authenticator, specify snowflake (Default). To authenticate through Okta, specify https://<okta_account_name>.okta.com (URL prefix for Okta). To authenticate using your IDP via a browser, specify externalbrowser. To authenticate via OAuth, specify oauth and provide an OAuth Access Token (see the token parameter below). application: Identifies your application to Snowflake Support. insecureMode: false by default. Set to true to bypass the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) certificate revocation check. IMPORTANT: Change the default value for testing or emergency situations only. token: a token that can be used to authenticate. Should be used in conjunction with the "oauth" authenticator. client_session_keep_alive: Set to true have a heartbeat in the background every hour to keep the connection alive such that the connection session will never expire. Care should be taken in using this option as it opens up the access forever as long as the process is alive. ocspFailOpen: true by default. Set to false to make OCSP check fail closed mode. validateDefaultParameters: true by default. Set to false to disable checks on existence and privileges check for Database, Schema, Warehouse and Role when setting up the connection All other parameters are taken as session parameters. For example, TIMESTAMP_OUTPUT_FORMAT session parameter can be set by adding: The Go Snowflake Driver honors the environment variables HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY and NO_PROXY for the forward proxy setting. NO_PROXY specifies which hostname endings should be allowed to bypass the proxy server, e.g. :code:`no_proxy=.amazonaws.com` means that AWS S3 access does not need to go through the proxy. NO_PROXY does not support wildcards. Each value specified should be one of the following: The end of a hostname (or a complete hostname), for example: ".amazonaws.com" or "xy12345.snowflakecomputing.com". An IP address, for example "192.196.1.15". If more than one value is specified, values should be separated by commas, for example: By default, the driver's builtin logger is NOP; no output is generated. This is intentional for those applications that use the same set of logger parameters not to conflict with glog, which is incorporated in the driver logging framework. In order to enable debug logging for the driver, add a build tag sfdebug to the go tool command lines, for example: For tests, run the test command with the tag along with glog parameters. For example, the following command will generate all acitivty logs in the standard error. Likewise, if you build your application with the tag, you may specify the same set of glog parameters. To get the logs for a specific module, use the -vmodule option. For example, to retrieve the driver.go and connection.go module logs: Note: If your request retrieves no logs, call db.Close() or glog.flush() to flush the glog buffer. Note: The logger may be changed in the future for better logging. Currently if the applications use the same parameters as glog, you cannot collect both application and driver logs at the same time. From 0.5.0, a signal handling responsibility has moved to the applications. If you want to cancel a query/command by Ctrl+C, add a os.Interrupt trap in context to execute methods that can take the context parameter, e.g., QueryContext, ExecContext. See cmd/selectmany.go for the full example. Queries return SQL column type information in the ColumnType type. The DatabaseTypeName method returns the following strings representing Snowflake data types: Go's database/sql package limits Go's data types to the following for binding and fetching: Fetching data isn't an issue since the database data type is provided along with the data so the Go Snowflake Driver can translate Snowflake data types to Go native data types. When the client binds data to send to the server, however, the driver cannot determine the date/timestamp data types to associate with binding parameters. For example: To resolve this issue, a binding parameter flag is introduced that associates any subsequent time.Time type to the DATE, TIME, TIMESTAMP_LTZ, TIMESTAMP_NTZ or BINARY data type. The above example could be rewritten as follows: The driver fetches TIMESTAMP_TZ (timestamp with time zone) data using the offset-based Location types, which represent a collection of time offsets in use in a geographical area, such as CET (Central European Time) or UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). The offset-based Location data is generated and cached when a Go Snowflake Driver application starts, and if the given offset is not in the cache, it is generated dynamically. Currently, Snowflake doesn't support the name-based Location types, e.g., America/Los_Angeles. For more information about Location types, see the Go documentation for https://golang.org/pkg/time/#Location. Internally, this feature leverages the []byte data type. As a result, BINARY data cannot be bound without the binding parameter flag. In the following example, sf is an alias for the gosnowflake package: The driver directly downloads a result set from the cloud storage if the size is large. It is required to shift workloads from the Snowflake database to the clients for scale. The download takes place by goroutine named "Chunk Downloader" asynchronously so that the driver can fetch the next result set while the application can consume the current result set. The application may change the number of result set chunk downloader if required. Note this doesn't help reduce memory footprint by itself. Consider Custom JSON Decoder. Experimental: Custom JSON Decoder for parsing Result Set The application may have the driver use a custom JSON decoder that incrementally parses the result set as follows. This option will reduce the memory footprint to half or even quarter, but it can significantly degrade the performance depending on the environment. The test cases running on Travis Ubuntu box show five times less memory footprint while four times slower. Be cautious when using the option. (Private Preview) JWT authentication ** Not recommended for production use until GA Now JWT token is supported when compiling with a golang version of 1.10 or higher. Binary compiled with lower version of golang would return an error at runtime when users try to use JWT authentication feature. To enable this feature, one can construct DSN with fields "authenticator=SNOWFLAKE_JWT&privateKey=<your_private_key>", or using Config structure specifying: The <your_private_key> should be a base64 URL encoded PKCS8 rsa private key string. One way to encode a byte slice to URL base 64 URL format is through base64.URLEncoding.EncodeToString() function. On the server side, one can alter the public key with the SQL command: The <your_public_key> should be a base64 Standard encoded PKI public key string. One way to encode a byte slice to base 64 Standard format is through base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString() function. To generate the valid key pair, one can do the following command on the shell script: GET and PUT operations are unsupported.

Package gcfg reads "INI-style" text-based configuration files with "name=value" pairs grouped into sections (gcfg files). This package is still a work in progress; see the sections below for planned changes. The syntax is based on that used by git config: http://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#_syntax . There are some (planned) differences compared to the git config format: The functions in this package read values into a user-defined struct. Each section corresponds to a struct field in the config struct, and each variable in a section corresponds to a data field in the section struct. The mapping of each section or variable name to fields is done either based on the "gcfg" struct tag or by matching the name of the section or variable, ignoring case. In the latter case, hyphens '-' in section and variable names correspond to underscores '_' in field names. Fields must be exported; to use a section or variable name starting with a letter that is neither upper- or lower-case, prefix the field name with 'X'. (See https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=5763#c4 .) For sections with subsections, the corresponding field in config must be a map, rather than a struct, with string keys and pointer-to-struct values. Values for subsection variables are stored in the map with the subsection name used as the map key. (Note that unlike section and variable names, subsection names are case sensitive.) When using a map, and there is a section with the same section name but without a subsection name, its values are stored with the empty string used as the key. It is possible to provide default values for subsections in the section "default-<sectionname>" (or by setting values in the corresponding struct field "Default_<sectionname>"). The functions in this package panic if config is not a pointer to a struct, or when a field is not of a suitable type (either a struct or a map with string keys and pointer-to-struct values). The section structs in the config struct may contain single-valued or multi-valued variables. Variables of unnamed slice type (that is, a type starting with `[]`) are treated as multi-value; all others (including named slice types) are treated as single-valued variables. Single-valued variables are handled based on the type as follows. Unnamed pointer types (that is, types starting with `*`) are dereferenced, and if necessary, a new instance is allocated. For types implementing the encoding.TextUnmarshaler interface, the UnmarshalText method is used to set the value. Implementing this method is the recommended way for parsing user-defined types. For fields of string kind, the value string is assigned to the field, after unquoting and unescaping as needed. For fields of bool kind, the field is set to true if the value is "true", "yes", "on" or "1", and set to false if the value is "false", "no", "off" or "0", ignoring case. In addition, single-valued bool fields can be specified with a "blank" value (variable name without equals sign and value); in such case the value is set to true. Predefined integer types [u]int(|8|16|32|64) and big.Int are parsed as decimal or hexadecimal (if having '0x' prefix). (This is to prevent unintuitively handling zero-padded numbers as octal.) Other types having [u]int* as the underlying type, such as os.FileMode and uintptr allow decimal, hexadecimal, or octal values. Parsing mode for integer types can be overridden using the struct tag option ",int=mode" where mode is a combination of the 'd', 'h', and 'o' characters (each standing for decimal, hexadecimal, and octal, respectively.) All other types are parsed using fmt.Sscanf with the "%v" verb. For multi-valued variables, each individual value is parsed as above and appended to the slice. If the first value is specified as a "blank" value (variable name without equals sign and value), a new slice is allocated; that is any values previously set in the slice will be ignored. The types subpackage for provides helpers for parsing "enum-like" and integer types. There are 3 types of errors: Programmer errors trigger panics. These are should be fixed by the programmer before releasing code that uses gcfg. Data errors cause gcfg to return a non-nil error value. This includes the case when there are extra unknown key-value definitions in the configuration data (extra data). However, in some occasions it is desirable to be able to proceed in situations when the only data error is that of extra data. These errors are handled at a different (warning) priority and can be filtered out programmatically. To ignore extra data warnings, wrap the gcfg.Read*Into invocation into a call to gcfg.FatalOnly. The following is a list of changes under consideration:

Package toFixed formats a number using fixed-point notation.

Package dcrjson provides infrastructure for working with Decred JSON-RPC APIs. When communicating via the JSON-RPC protocol, all requests and responses must be marshalled to and from the wire in the appropriate format. This package provides infrastructure and primitives to ease this process. This information is not necessary in order to use this package, but it does provide some intuition into what the marshalling and unmarshalling that is discussed below is doing under the hood. As defined by the JSON-RPC spec, there are effectively two forms of messages on the wire: Request Objects {"jsonrpc":"1.0","id":"SOMEID","method":"SOMEMETHOD","params":[SOMEPARAMS]} NOTE: Notifications are the same format except the id field is null. Response Objects {"result":SOMETHING,"error":null,"id":"SOMEID"} {"result":null,"error":{"code":SOMEINT,"message":SOMESTRING},"id":"SOMEID"} For requests, the params field can vary in what it contains depending on the method (a.k.a. command) being sent. Each parameter can be as simple as an int or a complex structure containing many nested fields. The id field is used to identify a request and will be included in the associated response. When working with streamed RPC transports, such as websockets, spontaneous notifications are also possible. As indicated, they are the same as a request object, except they have the id field set to null. Therefore, servers will ignore requests with the id field set to null, while clients can choose to consume or ignore them. Unfortunately, the original Bitcoin JSON-RPC API (and hence anything compatible with it) doesn't always follow the spec and will sometimes return an error string in the result field with a null error for certain commands. However, for the most part, the error field will be set as described on failure. To simplify the marshalling of the requests and responses, the MarshalCmd and MarshalResponse functions are provided. They return the raw bytes ready to be sent across the wire. Unmarshalling a received Request object is a two step process: This approach is used since it provides the caller with access to the additional fields in the request that are not part of the command such as the ID. Unmarshalling a received Response object is also a two step process: As above, this approach is used since it provides the caller with access to the fields in the response such as the ID and Error. This package provides the NewCmd function which takes a method (command) name and variable arguments. The function includes full checking to ensure the parameters are accurate according to provided method, however these checks are, obviously, run-time which means any mistakes won't be found until the code is actually executed. However, it is quite useful for user-supplied commands that are intentionally dynamic. External packages can and should implement types implementing Command for use with MarshalCmd/ParseParams. The command handling of this package is built around the concept of registered commands. This is true for the wide variety of commands already provided by the package, but it also means caller can easily provide custom commands with all of the same functionality as the built-in commands. Use the RegisterCmd function for this purpose. A list of all registered methods can be obtained with the RegisteredCmdMethods function. All registered commands are registered with flags that identify information such as whether the command applies to a chain server, wallet server, or is a notification along with the method name to use. These flags can be obtained with the MethodUsageFlags flags, and the method can be obtained with the CmdMethod function. To facilitate providing consistent help to users of the RPC server, this package exposes the GenerateHelp and function which uses reflection on registered commands or notifications to generate the final help text. In addition, the MethodUsageText function is provided to generate consistent one-line usage for registered commands and notifications using reflection. There are 2 distinct type of errors supported by this package: The first category of errors (type Error) typically indicates a programmer error and can be avoided by properly using the API. Errors of this type will be returned from the various functions available in this package. They identify issues such as unsupported field types, attempts to register malformed commands, and attempting to create a new command with an improper number of parameters. The specific reason for the error can be detected by type asserting it to a *dcrjson.Error and accessing the ErrorCode field. The second category of errors (type RPCError), on the other hand, are useful for returning errors to RPC clients. Consequently, they are used in the previously described Response type. This example demonstrates how to unmarshal a JSON-RPC response and then unmarshal the result field in the response to a concrete type.

Package ansigo provides control over ANSI escape codes for terminal apps. There are a few entry points to the library, but most commonly, one will just use `Apply` or `MaybeApply`, which accept a spec string and a string to format. `Apply` returns an error if any bit of the spec string failed to match and bails as soon as a failure occurs, while `MaybeApply` simply returns the string with all successful formatting applied (after all, it's just text, it'll still be text at the end). The spec string is simply a list of formatting steps to take separated by +. For instance, one could have bold green text with `bold+green`. Additionally, colors can be specified as background rather than foreground colors by appending `:bg` so we could have the previous on a blue background with `bold+green+blue:bg`. ansigo supports all SGR codes from the ANSI specification. This includes attributes such as bold and underline, as well as three different color spaces: 3/4-bit[0] (`Colors8`), 8-bit (`Colors256`), and 24-bit true-color (`Colors24bit`). For the list of which attributes and colors are available, as well as to see which your terminal supports, `Attributes` and all three color spaces above, as implementers of `Collection`, implement a `Find` method which returns a `Formatter`, if one is found, and an error if one is not. For `Attributes` and `Colors8`, the search term is just a name ("bold", "green", etc), but `Colors256` and `Colors24bit`, you have more leeway. For the former, you can search by color name (though note that there are some duplicate names in there, which will lead to you getting the first match back), color ID[1], and the color's CSS-style hex code (e.g: "#ff0000"), rgb function (e.g: "rgb(255, 0, 0)"), and hsl function (e.g: "hsl(0,100%,50%)"). However, all of those are strictly specified. If you search `Colors256` for, say, "#123512", you won't find it, despite that being a valid hex code. For that, use `Colors24bit`, which will succeed for any valid CSS hex/rgb/hsl function that uses whole numbers. That's a lot of choices, though, so it's usually better to just use `(Maybe)Apply` :) For a list of attributes and colors, see https://ansigo.projects.makyo.io . [0]: Despite the name, `Colors8` contains 16 colors, the 8 original colors, and their "bright" variants: "green" + "brightgreen", etc. [1]: Which the author was personally quite fascinated with:

Package gcfg reads "INI-style" text-based configuration files with "name=value" pairs grouped into sections (gcfg files). This package is still a work in progress; see the sections below for planned changes. The syntax is based on that used by git config: http://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#_syntax . There are some (planned) differences compared to the git config format: The functions in this package read values into a user-defined struct. Each section corresponds to a struct field in the config struct, and each variable in a section corresponds to a data field in the section struct. The mapping of each section or variable name to fields is done either based on the "gcfg" struct tag or by matching the name of the section or variable, ignoring case. In the latter case, hyphens '-' in section and variable names correspond to underscores '_' in field names. Fields must be exported; to use a section or variable name starting with a letter that is neither upper- or lower-case, prefix the field name with 'X'. (See https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=5763#c4 .) For sections with subsections, the corresponding field in config must be a map, rather than a struct, with string keys and pointer-to-struct values. Values for subsection variables are stored in the map with the subsection name used as the map key. (Note that unlike section and variable names, subsection names are case sensitive.) When using a map, and there is a section with the same section name but without a subsection name, its values are stored with the empty string used as the key. It is possible to provide default values for subsections in the section "default-<sectionname>" (or by setting values in the corresponding struct field "Default_<sectionname>"). The functions in this package panic if config is not a pointer to a struct, or when a field is not of a suitable type (either a struct or a map with string keys and pointer-to-struct values). The section structs in the config struct may contain single-valued or multi-valued variables. Variables of unnamed slice type (that is, a type starting with `[]`) are treated as multi-value; all others (including named slice types) are treated as single-valued variables. Single-valued variables are handled based on the type as follows. Unnamed pointer types (that is, types starting with `*`) are dereferenced, and if necessary, a new instance is allocated. For types implementing the encoding.TextUnmarshaler interface, the UnmarshalText method is used to set the value. Implementing this method is the recommended way for parsing user-defined types. For fields of string kind, the value string is assigned to the field, after unquoting and unescaping as needed. For fields of bool kind, the field is set to true if the value is "true", "yes", "on" or "1", and set to false if the value is "false", "no", "off" or "0", ignoring case. In addition, single-valued bool fields can be specified with a "blank" value (variable name without equals sign and value); in such case the value is set to true. Predefined integer types [u]int(|8|16|32|64) and big.Int are parsed as decimal or hexadecimal (if having '0x' prefix). (This is to prevent unintuitively handling zero-padded numbers as octal.) Other types having [u]int* as the underlying type, such as os.FileMode and uintptr allow decimal, hexadecimal, or octal values. Parsing mode for integer types can be overridden using the struct tag option ",int=mode" where mode is a combination of the 'd', 'h', and 'o' characters (each standing for decimal, hexadecimal, and octal, respectively.) All other types are parsed using fmt.Sscanf with the "%v" verb. For multi-valued variables, each individual value is parsed as above and appended to the slice. If the first value is specified as a "blank" value (variable name without equals sign and value), a new slice is allocated; that is any values previously set in the slice will be ignored. The types subpackage for provides helpers for parsing "enum-like" and integer types. There are 3 types of errors: Programmer errors trigger panics. These are should be fixed by the programmer before releasing code that uses gcfg. Data errors cause gcfg to return a non-nil error value. This includes the case when there are extra unknown key-value definitions in the configuration data (extra data). However, in some occasions it is desirable to be able to proceed in situations when the only data error is that of extra data. These errors are handled at a different (warning) priority and can be filtered out programmatically. To ignore extra data warnings, wrap the gcfg.Read*Into invocation into a call to gcfg.FatalOnly. The following is a list of changes under consideration:

Package zzterm efficiently reads and decodes terminal input keys and mouse events without any memory allocation. It is intended to be used with a terminal set in raw mode as its io.Reader. Setting the terminal in raw mode is not handled by this package, there are a number of Go packages that can do this (see the example). Set the terminal in raw mode, use NewInput to create the input key reader and read from the terminal: Mouse events are supported through the Xterm X11 mouse protocol in SGR mode, which is a complex way to call the "modern" handling of mouse events [1] (beyond the limits of 223 for mouse position coordinates in the old protocol). This should be widely supported by modern terminals, but the tracking of mouse events must be enabled on the terminal so that the escape sequences get sent to zzterm. It is the responsibility of the caller to enable this (with SGR mode) before using Input.ReadKey, but as a convenience zzterm provides the EnableMouse and DisableMouse functions: And then mouse events will be reported (if supported by the terminal): It works similarly to enable reporting focus in/out of the terminal: Different terminals sometimes understand different escape sequences to interpret special keys such as function keys (F1, F2, etc.) and arrows. That configuration is part of the terminfo database (at least on Unix-like systems). While zzterm does not read the terminfo database itself, it supports specifying a map of values where the key is the name of the special key and the value is the escape sequence that should map to this key. The github.com/gdamore/tcell repository has a good number of terminal configurations described in a Go struct and accessible via terminfo.LookupTermInfo [2]. To enable reuse of this, zzterm provides the FromTerminfo function to convert from those structs to the supported map format. It is the responsibility of the caller to detect the right terminfo to use for the terminal. Note, however, that the tcell package patches those terminfo descriptions before use due to some inconsistencies in behaviour - using the raw terminfo definitions may not always work as expected [3]. When no WithESCSeq option is provided (or if a nil map is passed), then a default mapping is used. If a non-nil but empty map is provided, then any escape sequence translation will be disabled (except for mouse and focus events if enabled), and all such sequences will be read as keys of type KeyESCSeq. The input.Bytes method can then be called to inspect the raw bytes of the sequence.

Package config is an encoding-agnostic configuration abstraction. It supports merging multiple configuration files, expanding environment variables, and a variety of other small niceties. It currently supports YAML, but may be extended in the future to support more restrictive encodings like JSON or TOML. It's often convenient to separate configuration into multiple files; for example, an application may want to first load some universally-applicable configuration and then merge in some environment-specific overrides. This package supports this pattern in a variety of ways, all of which use the same merge logic. Simple types (numbers, strings, dates, and anything else YAML would consider a scalar) are merged by replacing lower-priority values with higher-priority overrides. For example, consider this merge of base.yaml and override.yaml: Slices, arrays, and anything else YAML would consider a sequence are also replaced. Again merging base.yaml and override.yaml: Maps are recursively deep-merged, handling scalars and sequences as described above. Consider a merge between a more complex set of YAML files: In all cases, explicit nils (represented in YAML with a tilde) override any pre-existing configuration. For example, By default, the NewYAML constructor enables gopkg.in/yaml.v2's strict unmarshalling mode. This prevents a variety of common programmer errors, especially when deep-merging loosely-typed YAML files. In strict mode, providers throw errors if keys are duplicated in the same configuration source, all keys aren't used when populating a struct, or a merge encounters incompatible data types. This behavior can be disabled with the Permissive option. To maintain backward compatibility, all other constructors default to permissive unmarshalling. YAML allows strings to appear quoted or unquoted, so these two lines are identical: However, the YAML specification special-cases some unquoted strings. Most obviously, true and false are interpreted as Booleans (unless quoted). Less obviously, yes, no, on, off, and many variants of these words are also treated as Booleans (see http://yaml.org/type/bool.html for the complete specification). Correctly deep-merging sources requires this package to unmarshal and then remarshal all YAML, which implicitly converts these special-cased unquoted strings to their canonical representation. For example, Quoting special-cased strings prevents this surprising behavior. Unfortunately, this package was released with a variety of bugs and an overly large API. The internals of the configuration provider have been completely reworked and all known bugs have been addressed, but many duplicative exported functions were retained to preserve backward compatibility. New users should rely on the NewYAML constructor. In particular, avoid NewValue - it's unnecessary, complex, and may panic. Deprecated functions are documented in the format expected by the staticcheck linter, available at https://staticcheck.io/.

Package gofpdf implements a PDF document generator with high level support for text, drawing and images. - UTF-8 support - Choice of measurement unit, page format and margins - Page header and footer management - Automatic page breaks, line breaks, and text justification - Inclusion of JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF and basic path-only SVG images - Colors, gradients and alpha channel transparency - Outline bookmarks - Internal and external links - TrueType, Type1 and encoding support - Page compression - Lines, Bézier curves, arcs, and ellipses - Rotation, scaling, skewing, translation, and mirroring - Clipping - Document protection - Layers - Templates - Barcodes - Charting facility - Import PDFs as templates gofpdf has no dependencies other than the Go standard library. All tests pass on Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. gofpdf supports UTF-8 TrueType fonts and “right-to-left” languages. Note that Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters may not be included in many general purpose fonts. For these languages, a specialized font (for example, NotoSansSC for simplified Chinese) can be used. Also, support is provided to automatically translate UTF-8 runes to code page encodings for languages that have fewer than 256 glyphs. This repository will not be maintained, at least for some unknown duration. But it is hoped that gofpdf has a bright future in the open source world. Due to Go’s promise of compatibility, gofpdf should continue to function without modification for a longer time than would be the case with many other languages. Forks should be based on the last viable commit. Tools such as active-forks can be used to select a fork that looks promising for your needs. If a particular fork looks like it has taken the lead in attracting followers, this README will be updated to point people in that direction. The efforts of all contributors to this project have been deeply appreciated. Best wishes to all of you. To install the package on your system, run Later, to receive updates, run The following Go code generates a simple PDF file. See the functions in the fpdf_test.go file (shown as examples in this documentation) for more advanced PDF examples. If an error occurs in an Fpdf method, an internal error field is set. After this occurs, Fpdf method calls typically return without performing any operations and the error state is retained. This error management scheme facilitates PDF generation since individual method calls do not need to be examined for failure; it is generally sufficient to wait until after Output() is called. For the same reason, if an error occurs in the calling application during PDF generation, it may be desirable for the application to transfer the error to the Fpdf instance by calling the SetError() method or the SetErrorf() method. At any time during the life cycle of the Fpdf instance, the error state can be determined with a call to Ok() or Err(). The error itself can be retrieved with a call to Error(). This package is a relatively straightforward translation from the original FPDF library written in PHP (despite the caveat in the introduction to Effective Go). The API names have been retained even though the Go idiom would suggest otherwise (for example, pdf.GetX() is used rather than simply pdf.X()). The similarity of the two libraries makes the original FPDF website a good source of information. It includes a forum and FAQ. However, some internal changes have been made. Page content is built up using buffers (of type bytes.Buffer) rather than repeated string concatenation. Errors are handled as explained above rather than panicking. Output is generated through an interface of type io.Writer or io.WriteCloser. A number of the original PHP methods behave differently based on the type of the arguments that are passed to them; in these cases additional methods have been exported to provide similar functionality. Font definition files are produced in JSON rather than PHP. A side effect of running go test ./... is the production of a number of example PDFs. These can be found in the gofpdf/pdf directory after the tests complete. Please note that these examples run in the context of a test. In order run an example as a standalone application, you’ll need to examine fpdf_test.go for some helper routines, for example exampleFilename() and summary(). Example PDFs can be compared with reference copies in order to verify that they have been generated as expected. This comparison will be performed if a PDF with the same name as the example PDF is placed in the gofpdf/pdf/reference directory and if the third argument to ComparePDFFiles() in internal/example/example.go is true. (By default it is false.) The routine that summarizes an example will look for this file and, if found, will call ComparePDFFiles() to check the example PDF for equality with its reference PDF. If differences exist between the two files they will be printed to standard output and the test will fail. If the reference file is missing, the comparison is considered to succeed. In order to successfully compare two PDFs, the placement of internal resources must be consistent and the internal creation timestamps must be the same. To do this, the methods SetCatalogSort() and SetCreationDate() need to be called for both files. This is done automatically for all examples. Nothing special is required to use the standard PDF fonts (courier, helvetica, times, zapfdingbats) in your documents other than calling SetFont(). You should use AddUTF8Font() or AddUTF8FontFromBytes() to add a TrueType UTF-8 encoded font. Use RTL() and LTR() methods switch between “right-to-left” and “left-to-right” mode. In order to use a different non-UTF-8 TrueType or Type1 font, you will need to generate a font definition file and, if the font will be embedded into PDFs, a compressed version of the font file. This is done by calling the MakeFont function or using the included makefont command line utility. To create the utility, cd into the makefont subdirectory and run “go build”. This will produce a standalone executable named makefont. Select the appropriate encoding file from the font subdirectory and run the command as in the following example. In your PDF generation code, call AddFont() to load the font and, as with the standard fonts, SetFont() to begin using it. Most examples, including the package example, demonstrate this method. Good sources of free, open-source fonts include Google Fonts and DejaVu Fonts. The draw2d package is a two dimensional vector graphics library that can generate output in different forms. It uses gofpdf for its document production mode. gofpdf is a global community effort and you are invited to make it even better.

It is copyrighted by Kurt Jung and the contributors acknowledged below. This package’s code and documentation are closely derived from the FPDF library created by Olivier Plathey, and a number of font and image resources are copied directly from it. Bruno Michel has provided valuable assistance with the code. Drawing support is adapted from the FPDF geometric figures script by David Hernández Sanz. Transparency support is adapted from the FPDF transparency script by Martin Hall-May. Support for gradients and clipping is adapted from FPDF scripts by Andreas Würmser. Support for outline bookmarks is adapted from Olivier Plathey by Manuel Cornes. Layer support is adapted from Olivier Plathey. Support for transformations is adapted from the FPDF transformation script by Moritz Wagner and Andreas Würmser. PDF protection is adapted from the work of Klemen Vodopivec for the FPDF product. Lawrence Kesteloot provided code to allow an image’s extent to be determined prior to placement. Support for vertical alignment within a cell was provided by Stefan Schroeder. Ivan Daniluk generalized the font and image loading code to use the Reader interface while maintaining backward compatibility. Anthony Starks provided code for the Polygon function. Robert Lillack provided the Beziergon function and corrected some naming issues with the internal curve function.

Paulo Coutinho provided support for static embedded fonts. Dan Meyers added support for embedded JavaScript. David Fish added a generic alias-replacement function to enable, among other things, table of contents functionality. Andy Bakun identified and corrected a problem in which the internal catalogs were not sorted stably. Paul Montag added encoding and decoding functionality for templates, including images that are embedded in templates; this allows templates to be stored independently of gofpdf. Paul also added support for page boxes used in printing PDF documents. Wojciech Matusiak added supported for word spacing. Artem Korotkiy added support of UTF-8 fonts. Dave Barnes added support for imported objects and templates. Brigham Thompson added support for rounded rectangles. Joe Westcott added underline functionality and optimized image storage. Benoit KUGLER contributed support for rectangles with corners of unequal radius, modification times, and for file attachments and annotations. - Remove all legacy code page font support; use UTF-8 exclusively - Improve test coverage as reported by the coverage tool. Example demonstrates the generation of a simple PDF document. Note that since only core fonts are used (in this case Arial, a synonym for Helvetica), an empty string can be specified for the font directory in the call to New(). Note also that the example.Filename() and example.Summary() functions belong to a separate, internal package and are not part of the gofpdf library. If an error occurs at some point during the construction of the document, subsequent method calls exit immediately and the error is finally retrieved with the output call where it can be handled by the application.

Package log15 provides an opinionated, simple toolkit for best-practice logging that is both human and machine readable. It is modeled after the standard library's io and net/http packages. This package enforces you to only log key/value pairs. Keys must be strings. Values may be any type that you like. The default output format is logfmt, but you may also choose to use JSON instead if that suits you. Here's how you log: This will output a line that looks like: To get started, you'll want to import the library: Now you're ready to start logging: Because recording a human-meaningful message is common and good practice, the first argument to every logging method is the value to the *implicit* key 'msg'. Additionally, the level you choose for a message will be automatically added with the key 'lvl', and so will the current timestamp with key 't'. You may supply any additional context as a set of key/value pairs to the logging function. log15 allows you to favor terseness, ordering, and speed over safety. This is a reasonable tradeoff for logging functions. You don't need to explicitly state keys/values, log15 understands that they alternate in the variadic argument list: If you really do favor your type-safety, you may choose to pass a log.Ctx instead: Frequently, you want to add context to a logger so that you can track actions associated with it. An http request is a good example. You can easily create new loggers that have context that is automatically included with each log line: This will output a log line that includes the path context that is attached to the logger: The Handler interface defines where log lines are printed to and how they are formated. Handler is a single interface that is inspired by net/http's handler interface: Handlers can filter records, format them, or dispatch to multiple other Handlers. This package implements a number of Handlers for common logging patterns that are easily composed to create flexible, custom logging structures. Here's an example handler that prints logfmt output to Stdout: Here's an example handler that defers to two other handlers. One handler only prints records from the rpc package in logfmt to standard out. The other prints records at Error level or above in JSON formatted output to the file /var/log/service.json //This package implements three Handlers that add debugging information to the //context, CallerFileHandler, CallerFuncHandler and CallerStackHandler. Here's //an example that adds the source file and line number of each logging call to //the context. // // h := log.CallerFileHandler(log.StdoutHandler) // log.Root().SetHandler(h) // ... // log.Error("open file", "err", err) // //This will output a line that looks like: // // lvl=eror t=2014-05-02T16:07:23-0700 msg="open file" err="file not found" caller=data.go:42 // //Here's an example that logs the call stack rather than just the call site. // // h := log.CallerStackHandler("%+v", log.StdoutHandler) // log.Root().SetHandler(h) // ... // log.Error("open file", "err", err) // //This will output a line that looks like: // // lvl=eror t=2014-05-02T16:07:23-0700 msg="open file" err="file not found" stack="[pkg/data.go:42 pkg/cmd/main.go]" // //The "%+v" format instructs the handler to include the path of the source file //relative to the compile time GOPATH. The github.com/go-stack/stack package //documents the full list of formatting verbs and modifiers available. The Handler interface is so simple that it's also trivial to write your own. Let's create an example handler which tries to write to one handler, but if that fails it falls back to writing to another handler and includes the error that it encountered when trying to write to the primary. This might be useful when trying to log over a network socket, but if that fails you want to log those records to a file on disk. This pattern is so useful that a generic version that handles an arbitrary number of Handlers is included as part of this library called FailoverHandler. Sometimes, you want to log values that are extremely expensive to compute, but you don't want to pay the price of computing them if you haven't turned up your logging level to a high level of detail. This package provides a simple type to annotate a logging operation that you want to be evaluated lazily, just when it is about to be logged, so that it would not be evaluated if an upstream Handler filters it out. Just wrap any function which takes no arguments with the log.Lazy type. For example: If this message is not logged for any reason (like logging at the Error level), then factorRSAKey is never evaluated. The same log.Lazy mechanism can be used to attach context to a logger which you want to be evaluated when the message is logged, but not when the logger is created. For example, let's imagine a game where you have Player objects: You always want to log a player's name and whether they're alive or dead, so when you create the player object, you might do: Only now, even after a player has died, the logger will still report they are alive because the logging context is evaluated when the logger was created. By using the Lazy wrapper, we can defer the evaluation of whether the player is alive or not to each log message, so that the log records will reflect the player's current state no matter when the log message is written: If log15 detects that stdout is a terminal, it will configure the default handler for it (which is log.StdoutHandler) to use TerminalFormat. This format logs records nicely for your terminal, including color-coded output based on log level. Becasuse log15 allows you to step around the type system, there are a few ways you can specify invalid arguments to the logging functions. You could, for example, wrap something that is not a zero-argument function with log.Lazy or pass a context key that is not a string. Since logging libraries are typically the mechanism by which errors are reported, it would be onerous for the logging functions to return errors. Instead, log15 handles errors by making these guarantees to you: - Any log record containing an error will still be printed with the error explained to you as part of the log record. - Any log record containing an error will include the context key LOG15_ERROR, enabling you to easily (and if you like, automatically) detect if any of your logging calls are passing bad values. Understanding this, you might wonder why the Handler interface can return an error value in its Log method. Handlers are encouraged to return errors only if they fail to write their log records out to an external source like if the syslog daemon is not responding. This allows the construction of useful handlers which cope with those failures like the FailoverHandler. log15 is intended to be useful for library authors as a way to provide configurable logging to users of their library. Best practice for use in a library is to always disable all output for your logger by default and to provide a public Logger instance that consumers of your library can configure. Like so: Users of your library may then enable it if they like: The ability to attach context to a logger is a powerful one. Where should you do it and why? I favor embedding a Logger directly into any persistent object in my application and adding unique, tracing context keys to it. For instance, imagine I am writing a web browser: When a new tab is created, I assign a logger to it with the url of the tab as context so it can easily be traced through the logs. Now, whenever we perform any operation with the tab, we'll log with its embedded logger and it will include the tab title automatically: There's only one problem. What if the tab url changes? We could use log.Lazy to make sure the current url is always written, but that would mean that we couldn't trace a tab's full lifetime through our logs after the user navigate to a new URL. Instead, think about what values to attach to your loggers the same way you think about what to use as a key in a SQL database schema. If it's possible to use a natural key that is unique for the lifetime of the object, do so. But otherwise, log15's ext package has a handy RandId function to let you generate what you might call "surrogate keys" They're just random hex identifiers to use for tracing. Back to our Tab example, we would prefer to set up our Logger like so: Now we'll have a unique traceable identifier even across loading new urls, but we'll still be able to see the tab's current url in the log messages. For all Handler functions which can return an error, there is a version of that function which will return no error but panics on failure. They are all available on the Must object. For example: All of the following excellent projects inspired the design of this library: code.google.com/p/log4go github.com/op/go-logging github.com/technoweenie/grohl github.com/Sirupsen/logrus github.com/kr/logfmt github.com/spacemonkeygo/spacelog golang's stdlib, notably io and net/http https://xkcd.com/927/

Package zap provides fast, structured, leveled logging. For applications that log in the hot path, reflection-based serialization and string formatting are prohibitively expensive - they're CPU-intensive and make many small allocations. Put differently, using json.Marshal and fmt.Fprintf to log tons of interface{} makes your application slow. Zap takes a different approach. It includes a reflection-free, zero-allocation JSON encoder, and the base Logger strives to avoid serialization overhead and allocations wherever possible. By building the high-level SugaredLogger on that foundation, zap lets users choose when they need to count every allocation and when they'd prefer a more familiar, loosely typed API. In contexts where performance is nice, but not critical, use the SugaredLogger. It's 4-10x faster than other structured logging packages and supports both structured and printf-style logging. Like log15 and go-kit, the SugaredLogger's structured logging APIs are loosely typed and accept a variadic number of key-value pairs. (For more advanced use cases, they also accept strongly typed fields - see the SugaredLogger.With documentation for details.) By default, loggers are unbuffered. However, since zap's low-level APIs allow buffering, calling Sync before letting your process exit is a good habit. In the rare contexts where every microsecond and every allocation matter, use the Logger. It's even faster than the SugaredLogger and allocates far less, but it only supports strongly-typed, structured logging. Choosing between the Logger and SugaredLogger doesn't need to be an application-wide decision: converting between the two is simple and inexpensive. The simplest way to build a Logger is to use zap's opinionated presets: NewExample, NewProduction, and NewDevelopment. These presets build a logger with a single function call: Presets are fine for small projects, but larger projects and organizations naturally require a bit more customization. For most users, zap's Config struct strikes the right balance between flexibility and convenience. See the package-level BasicConfiguration example for sample code. More unusual configurations (splitting output between files, sending logs to a message queue, etc.) are possible, but require direct use of go.uber.org/zap/zapcore. See the package-level AdvancedConfiguration example for sample code. The zap package itself is a relatively thin wrapper around the interfaces in go.uber.org/zap/zapcore. Extending zap to support a new encoding (e.g., BSON), a new log sink (e.g., Kafka), or something more exotic (perhaps an exception aggregation service, like Sentry or Rollbar) typically requires implementing the zapcore.Encoder, zapcore.WriteSyncer, or zapcore.Core interfaces. See the zapcore documentation for details. Similarly, package authors can use the high-performance Encoder and Core implementations in the zapcore package to build their own loggers. An FAQ covering everything from installation errors to design decisions is available at https://github.com/uber-go/zap/blob/master/FAQ.md.

Package blackfriday is a markdown processor. It translates plain text with simple formatting rules into an AST, which can then be further processed to HTML (provided by Blackfriday itself) or other formats (provided by the community). The simplest way to invoke Blackfriday is to call the Run function. It will take a text input and produce a text output in HTML (or other format). A slightly more sophisticated way to use Blackfriday is to create a Markdown processor and to call Parse, which returns a syntax tree for the input document. You can leverage Blackfriday's parsing for content extraction from markdown documents. You can assign a custom renderer and set various options to the Markdown processor. If you're interested in calling Blackfriday from command line, see https://github.com/russross/blackfriday-tool. Blackfriday includes an algorithm for creating sanitized anchor names corresponding to a given input text. This algorithm is used to create anchors for headings when AutoHeadingIDs extension is enabled. The algorithm is specified below, so that other packages can create compatible anchor names and links to those anchors. The algorithm iterates over the input text, interpreted as UTF-8, one Unicode code point (rune) at a time. All runes that are letters (category L) or numbers (category N) are considered valid characters. They are mapped to lower case, and included in the output. All other runes are considered invalid characters. Invalid characters that precede the first valid character, as well as invalid character that follow the last valid character are dropped completely. All other sequences of invalid characters between two valid characters are replaced with a single dash character '-'. SanitizedAnchorName exposes this functionality, and can be used to create compatible links to the anchor names generated by blackfriday. This algorithm is also implemented in a small standalone package at github.com/shurcooL/sanitized_anchor_name. It can be useful for clients that want a small package and don't need full functionality of blackfriday.

Package pnm implements an encoder and decoder for `PNM` image formats. It can be used with Go's image library. It covers all formats as defined by the 'P1' to 'P6' specifications. Each format differs in what colors it is designed to represent: * PBM is for bitmaps (black and white, no grays). * PGM is for grayscale. * PPM is for "pixmaps" which represent full RGB color. Each file starts with a two-byte magic number (in ASCII) that identifies the type of file it is (PBM, PGM, and PPM) and its encoding (ASCII or binary). The magic number is a capital P followed by a single-digit number. The ASCII formats allow for human readability and easy transfer to other platforms (so long as those platforms understand ASCII), while the binary formats are more efficient both in file size and in ease of parsing, due to the absence of whitespace. In the binary formats, PBM uses 1 bit per pixel, PGM uses 8 bits per pixel, and PPM uses 24 bits per pixel: 8 for red, 8 for green, 8 for blue.

Package gofpdf implements a PDF document generator with high level support for text, drawing and images. - UTF-8 support - Choice of measurement unit, page format and margins - Page header and footer management - Automatic page breaks, line breaks, and text justification - Inclusion of JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF and basic path-only SVG images - Colors, gradients and alpha channel transparency - Outline bookmarks - Internal and external links - TrueType, Type1 and encoding support - Page compression - Lines, Bézier curves, arcs, and ellipses - Rotation, scaling, skewing, translation, and mirroring - Clipping - Document protection - Layers - Templates - Barcodes - Charting facility - Import PDFs as templates gofpdf has no dependencies other than the Go standard library. All tests pass on Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. gofpdf supports UTF-8 TrueType fonts and “right-to-left” languages. Note that Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters may not be included in many general purpose fonts. For these languages, a specialized font (for example, NotoSansSC for simplified Chinese) can be used. Also, support is provided to automatically translate UTF-8 runes to code page encodings for languages that have fewer than 256 glyphs. This repository will not be maintained, at least for some unknown duration. But it is hoped that gofpdf has a bright future in the open source world. Due to Go’s promise of compatibility, gofpdf should continue to function without modification for a longer time than would be the case with many other languages. Forks should be based on the last viable commit. Tools such as active-forks can be used to select a fork that looks promising for your needs. If a particular fork looks like it has taken the lead in attracting followers, this README will be updated to point people in that direction. The efforts of all contributors to this project have been deeply appreciated. Best wishes to all of you. To install the package on your system, run Later, to receive updates, run The following Go code generates a simple PDF file. See the functions in the fpdf_test.go file (shown as examples in this documentation) for more advanced PDF examples. If an error occurs in an Fpdf method, an internal error field is set. After this occurs, Fpdf method calls typically return without performing any operations and the error state is retained. This error management scheme facilitates PDF generation since individual method calls do not need to be examined for failure; it is generally sufficient to wait until after Output() is called. For the same reason, if an error occurs in the calling application during PDF generation, it may be desirable for the application to transfer the error to the Fpdf instance by calling the SetError() method or the SetErrorf() method. At any time during the life cycle of the Fpdf instance, the error state can be determined with a call to Ok() or Err(). The error itself can be retrieved with a call to Error(). This package is a relatively straightforward translation from the original FPDF library written in PHP (despite the caveat in the introduction to Effective Go). The API names have been retained even though the Go idiom would suggest otherwise (for example, pdf.GetX() is used rather than simply pdf.X()). The similarity of the two libraries makes the original FPDF website a good source of information. It includes a forum and FAQ. However, some internal changes have been made. Page content is built up using buffers (of type bytes.Buffer) rather than repeated string concatenation. Errors are handled as explained above rather than panicking. Output is generated through an interface of type io.Writer or io.WriteCloser. A number of the original PHP methods behave differently based on the type of the arguments that are passed to them; in these cases additional methods have been exported to provide similar functionality. Font definition files are produced in JSON rather than PHP. A side effect of running go test ./... is the production of a number of example PDFs. These can be found in the gofpdf/pdf directory after the tests complete. Please note that these examples run in the context of a test. In order run an example as a standalone application, you’ll need to examine fpdf_test.go for some helper routines, for example exampleFilename() and summary(). Example PDFs can be compared with reference copies in order to verify that they have been generated as expected. This comparison will be performed if a PDF with the same name as the example PDF is placed in the gofpdf/pdf/reference directory and if the third argument to ComparePDFFiles() in internal/example/example.go is true. (By default it is false.) The routine that summarizes an example will look for this file and, if found, will call ComparePDFFiles() to check the example PDF for equality with its reference PDF. If differences exist between the two files they will be printed to standard output and the test will fail. If the reference file is missing, the comparison is considered to succeed. In order to successfully compare two PDFs, the placement of internal resources must be consistent and the internal creation timestamps must be the same. To do this, the methods SetCatalogSort() and SetCreationDate() need to be called for both files. This is done automatically for all examples. Nothing special is required to use the standard PDF fonts (courier, helvetica, times, zapfdingbats) in your documents other than calling SetFont(). You should use AddUTF8Font() or AddUTF8FontFromBytes() to add a TrueType UTF-8 encoded font. Use RTL() and LTR() methods switch between “right-to-left” and “left-to-right” mode. In order to use a different non-UTF-8 TrueType or Type1 font, you will need to generate a font definition file and, if the font will be embedded into PDFs, a compressed version of the font file. This is done by calling the MakeFont function or using the included makefont command line utility. To create the utility, cd into the makefont subdirectory and run “go build”. This will produce a standalone executable named makefont. Select the appropriate encoding file from the font subdirectory and run the command as in the following example. In your PDF generation code, call AddFont() to load the font and, as with the standard fonts, SetFont() to begin using it. Most examples, including the package example, demonstrate this method. Good sources of free, open-source fonts include Google Fonts and DejaVu Fonts. The draw2d package is a two dimensional vector graphics library that can generate output in different forms. It uses gofpdf for its document production mode. gofpdf is a global community effort and you are invited to make it even better.

It is copyrighted by Kurt Jung and the contributors acknowledged below. This package’s code and documentation are closely derived from the FPDF library created by Olivier Plathey, and a number of font and image resources are copied directly from it. Bruno Michel has provided valuable assistance with the code. Drawing support is adapted from the FPDF geometric figures script by David Hernández Sanz. Transparency support is adapted from the FPDF transparency script by Martin Hall-May. Support for gradients and clipping is adapted from FPDF scripts by Andreas Würmser. Support for outline bookmarks is adapted from Olivier Plathey by Manuel Cornes. Layer support is adapted from Olivier Plathey. Support for transformations is adapted from the FPDF transformation script by Moritz Wagner and Andreas Würmser. PDF protection is adapted from the work of Klemen Vodopivec for the FPDF product. Lawrence Kesteloot provided code to allow an image’s extent to be determined prior to placement. Support for vertical alignment within a cell was provided by Stefan Schroeder. Ivan Daniluk generalized the font and image loading code to use the Reader interface while maintaining backward compatibility. Anthony Starks provided code for the Polygon function. Robert Lillack provided the Beziergon function and corrected some naming issues with the internal curve function. Claudio Felber provided implementations for dashed line drawing and generalized font loading. Stani Michiels provided support for multi-segment path drawing with smooth line joins, line join styles, enhanced fill modes, and has helped greatly with package presentation and tests. Templating is adapted by Marcus Downing from the FPDF_Tpl library created by Jan Slabon and Setasign. Jelmer Snoeck contributed packages that generate a variety of barcodes and help with registering images on the web. Jelmer Snoek and Guillermo Pascual augmented the basic HTML functionality with aligned text. Kent Quirk implemented backwards-compatible support for reading DPI from images that support it, and for setting DPI manually and then having it properly taken into account when calculating image size. Paulo Coutinho provided support for static embedded fonts. Dan Meyers added support for embedded JavaScript. David Fish added a generic alias-replacement function to enable, among other things, table of contents functionality. Andy Bakun identified and corrected a problem in which the internal catalogs were not sorted stably. Paul Montag added encoding and decoding functionality for templates, including images that are embedded in templates; this allows templates to be stored independently of gofpdf. Paul also added support for page boxes used in printing PDF documents. Wojciech Matusiak added supported for word spacing. Artem Korotkiy added support of UTF-8 fonts. Dave Barnes added support for imported objects and templates. Brigham Thompson added support for rounded rectangles. Joe Westcott added underline functionality and optimized image storage. Benoit KUGLER contributed support for rectangles with corners of unequal radius, modification times, and for file attachments and annotations. - Remove all legacy code page font support; use UTF-8 exclusively - Improve test coverage as reported by the coverage tool. Example demonstrates the generation of a simple PDF document. Note that since only core fonts are used (in this case Arial, a synonym for Helvetica), an empty string can be specified for the font directory in the call to New(). Note also that the example.Filename() and example.Summary() functions belong to a separate, internal package and are not part of the gofpdf library. If an error occurs at some point during the construction of the document, subsequent method calls exit immediately and the error is finally retrieved with the output call where it can be handled by the application.

Package validator implements value validations for structs and individual fields based on tags. It can also handle Cross-Field and Cross-Struct validation for nested structs and has the ability to dive into arrays and maps of any type. see more examples https://github.com/go-playground/validator/tree/v9/_examples Doing things this way is actually the way the standard library does, see the file.Open method here: The authors return type "error" to avoid the issue discussed in the following, where err is always != nil: Validator only InvalidValidationError for bad validation input, nil or ValidationErrors as type error; so, in your code all you need to do is check if the error returned is not nil, and if it's not check if error is InvalidValidationError ( if necessary, most of the time it isn't ) type cast it to type ValidationErrors like so err.(validator.ValidationErrors). Custom Validation functions can be added. Example: Cross-Field Validation can be done via the following tags: If, however, some custom cross-field validation is required, it can be done using a custom validation. Why not just have cross-fields validation tags (i.e. only eqcsfield and not eqfield)? The reason is efficiency. If you want to check a field within the same struct "eqfield" only has to find the field on the same struct (1 level). But, if we used "eqcsfield" it could be multiple levels down. Example: Multiple validators on a field will process in the order defined. Example: Bad Validator definitions are not handled by the library. Example: Baked In Cross-Field validation only compares fields on the same struct. If Cross-Field + Cross-Struct validation is needed you should implement your own custom validator. Comma (",") is the default separator of validation tags. If you wish to have a comma included within the parameter (i.e. excludesall=,) you will need to use the UTF-8 hex representation 0x2C, which is replaced in the code as a comma, so the above will become excludesall=0x2C. Pipe ("|") is the 'or' validation tags deparator. If you wish to have a pipe included within the parameter i.e. excludesall=| you will need to use the UTF-8 hex representation 0x7C, which is replaced in the code as a pipe, so the above will become excludesall=0x7C Here is a list of the current built in validators: Tells the validation to skip this struct field; this is particularly handy in ignoring embedded structs from being validated. (Usage: -) This is the 'or' operator allowing multiple validators to be used and accepted. (Usage: rbg|rgba) <-- this would allow either rgb or rgba colors to be accepted. This can also be combined with 'and' for example ( Usage: omitempty,rgb|rgba) When a field that is a nested struct is encountered, and contains this flag any validation on the nested struct will be run, but none of the nested struct fields will be validated. This is useful if inside of your program you know the struct will be valid, but need to verify it has been assigned. NOTE: only "required" and "omitempty" can be used on a struct itself. Same as structonly tag except that any struct level validations will not run. Allows conditional validation, for example if a field is not set with a value (Determined by the "required" validator) then other validation such as min or max won't run, but if a value is set validation will run. This tells the validator to dive into a slice, array or map and validate that level of the slice, array or map with the validation tags that follow. Multidimensional nesting is also supported, each level you wish to dive will require another dive tag. dive has some sub-tags, 'keys' & 'endkeys', please see the Keys & EndKeys section just below. Example #1 Example #2 Keys & EndKeys These are to be used together directly after the dive tag and tells the validator that anything between 'keys' and 'endkeys' applies to the keys of a map and not the values; think of it like the 'dive' tag, but for map keys instead of values. Multidimensional nesting is also supported, each level you wish to validate will require another 'keys' and 'endkeys' tag. These tags are only valid for maps. Example #1 Example #2 This validates that the value is not the data types default zero value. For numbers ensures value is not zero. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. The field under validation must be present and not empty only if any of the other specified fields are present. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. Examples: The field under validation must be present and not empty only if all of the other specified fields are present. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. Example: The field under validation must be present and not empty only when any of the other specified fields are not present. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. Examples: The field under validation must be present and not empty only when all of the other specified fields are not present. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. Example: This validates that the value is the default value and is almost the opposite of required. For numbers, length will ensure that the value is equal to the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is exactly that number of characters. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For numbers, max will ensure that the value is less than or equal to the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is at most that number of characters. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For numbers, min will ensure that the value is greater or equal to the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is at least that number of characters. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For strings & numbers, eq will ensure that the value is equal to the parameter given. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For strings & numbers, ne will ensure that the value is not equal to the parameter given. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For strings, ints, and uints, oneof will ensure that the value is one of the values in the parameter. The parameter should be a list of values separated by whitespace. Values may be strings or numbers. For numbers, this will ensure that the value is greater than the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is greater than that number of characters. For slices, arrays and maps it validates the number of items. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Time) For time.Time ensures the time value is greater than time.Now.UTC(). Same as 'min' above. Kept both to make terminology with 'len' easier. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Time) For time.Time ensures the time value is greater than or equal to time.Now.UTC(). For numbers, this will ensure that the value is less than the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is less than that number of characters. For slices, arrays, and maps it validates the number of items. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Time) For time.Time ensures the time value is less than time.Now.UTC(). Same as 'max' above. Kept both to make terminology with 'len' easier. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Time) For time.Time ensures the time value is less than or equal to time.Now.UTC(). This will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. Example #1: Example #2: Field Equals Another Field (relative) This does the same as eqfield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct. This will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. Examples: Field Does Not Equal Another Field (relative) This does the same as nefield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct. Only valid for Numbers and time.Time types, this will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. usage examples are for validation of a Start and End date: Example #1: Example #2: This does the same as gtfield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct. Only valid for Numbers and time.Time types, this will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. usage examples are for validation of a Start and End date: Example #1: Example #2: This does the same as gtefield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct. Only valid for Numbers and time.Time types, this will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. usage examples are for validation of a Start and End date: Example #1: Example #2: This does the same as ltfield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct. Only valid for Numbers and time.Time types, this will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. usage examples are for validation of a Start and End date: Example #1: Example #2: This does the same as ltefield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct. This does the same as contains except for struct fields. It should only be used with string types. See the behavior of reflect.Value.String() for behavior on other types. This does the same as excludes except for struct fields. It should only be used with string types. See the behavior of reflect.Value.String() for behavior on other types. For arrays & slices, unique will ensure that there are no duplicates. For maps, unique will ensure that there are no duplicate values.

Package xmlpath implements a strict subset of the XPath specification for the Go language. The XPath specification is available at: Path expressions supported by this package are in the following format, with all components being optional: At the moment, xmlpath is compatible with the XPath specification to the following extent: For example, assuming the following document: The following examples are valid path expressions, and the first match has the indicated value: To run an expression, compile it, and then apply the compiled path to any number of context nodes, from one or more parsed xml documents:

Package dcrjson provides infrastructure for working with Decred JSON-RPC APIs. When communicating via the JSON-RPC protocol, all requests and responses must be marshalled to and from the wire in the appropriate format. This package provides infrastructure and primitives to ease this process. This information is not necessary in order to use this package, but it does provide some intuition into what the marshalling and unmarshalling that is discussed below is doing under the hood. As defined by the JSON-RPC spec, there are effectively two forms of messages on the wire: Request Objects {"jsonrpc":"1.0","id":"SOMEID","method":"SOMEMETHOD","params":[SOMEPARAMS]} NOTE: Notifications are the same format except the id field is null. Response Objects {"result":SOMETHING,"error":null,"id":"SOMEID"} {"result":null,"error":{"code":SOMEINT,"message":SOMESTRING},"id":"SOMEID"} For requests, the params field can vary in what it contains depending on the method (a.k.a. command) being sent. Each parameter can be as simple as an int or a complex structure containing many nested fields. The id field is used to identify a request and will be included in the associated response. When working with streamed RPC transports, such as websockets, spontaneous notifications are also possible. As indicated, they are the same as a request object, except they have the id field set to null. Therefore, servers will ignore requests with the id field set to null, while clients can choose to consume or ignore them. Unfortunately, the original Bitcoin JSON-RPC API (and hence anything compatible with it) doesn't always follow the spec and will sometimes return an error string in the result field with a null error for certain commands. However, for the most part, the error field will be set as described on failure. To simplify the marshalling of the requests and responses, the MarshalCmd and MarshalResponse functions are provided. They return the raw bytes ready to be sent across the wire. Unmarshalling a received Request object is a two step process: This approach is used since it provides the caller with access to the additional fields in the request that are not part of the command such as the ID. Unmarshalling a received Response object is also a two step process: As above, this approach is used since it provides the caller with access to the fields in the response such as the ID and Error. This package provides the NewCmd function which takes a method (command) name and variable arguments. The function includes full checking to ensure the parameters are accurate according to provided method, however these checks are, obviously, run-time which means any mistakes won't be found until the code is actually executed. However, it is quite useful for user-supplied commands that are intentionally dynamic. External packages can and should implement types implementing Command for use with MarshalCmd/ParseParams. The command handling of this package is built around the concept of registered commands. This is true for the wide variety of commands already provided by the package, but it also means caller can easily provide custom commands with all of the same functionality as the built-in commands. Use the RegisterCmd function for this purpose. A list of all registered methods can be obtained with the RegisteredCmdMethods function. All registered commands are registered with flags that identify information such as whether the command applies to a chain server, wallet server, or is a notification along with the method name to use. These flags can be obtained with the MethodUsageFlags flags, and the method can be obtained with the CmdMethod function. To facilitate providing consistent help to users of the RPC server, this package exposes the GenerateHelp and function which uses reflection on registered commands or notifications to generate the final help text. In addition, the MethodUsageText function is provided to generate consistent one-line usage for registered commands and notifications using reflection. There are 2 distinct type of errors supported by this package: The first category of errors (type Error) typically indicates a programmer error and can be avoided by properly using the API. Errors of this type will be returned from the various functions available in this package. They identify issues such as unsupported field types, attempts to register malformed commands, and attempting to create a new command with an improper number of parameters. The specific reason for the error can be detected by type asserting it to a *dcrjson.Error and accessing the ErrorCode field. The second category of errors (type RPCError), on the other hand, are useful for returning errors to RPC clients. Consequently, they are used in the previously described Response type. This example demonstrates how to unmarshal a JSON-RPC response and then unmarshal the result field in the response to a concrete type.

Package ovirtclient provides a human-friendly Go client for the oVirt Engine. It provides an abstraction layer for the oVirt API, as well as a mocking facility for testing purposes. This documentation contains two parts. This introduction explains setting up the client with the credentials. The API doc contains the individual API calls. When reading the API doc, start with the Client interface: it contains all components of the API. The individual API's, their documentation and examples are located in subinterfaces, such as DiskClient. There are several ways to create a client instance. The most basic way is to use the New() function as follows: The mock client simulates the oVirt engine behavior in-memory without needing an actual running engine. This is a good way to provide a testing facility. It can be created using the NewMock method: That's it! However, to make it really useful, you will need the test helper which can set up test fixtures. The test helper can work in two ways: Either it sets up test fixtures in the mock client, or it sets up a live connection and identifies a usable storage domain, cluster, etc. for testing purposes. The ovirtclient.NewMockTestHelper() function can be used to create a test helper with a mock client in the backend: The easiest way to set up the test helper for a live connection is by using environment variables. To do that, you can use the ovirtclient.NewLiveTestHelperFromEnv() function: This function will inspect environment variables to determine if a connection to a live oVirt engine can be established. The following environment variables are supported: URL of the oVirt engine API. Mandatory. The username for the oVirt engine. Mandatory. The password for the oVirt engine. Mandatory. A file containing the CA certificate in PEM format. Provide the CA certificate in PEM format directly. Disable certificate verification if set. Not recommended. The cluster to use for testing. Will be automatically chosen if not provided. ID of the blank template. Will be automatically chosen if not provided. Storage domain to use for testing. Will be automatically chosen if not provided. VNIC profile to use for testing. Will be automatically chosen if not provided. You can also create the test helper manually: This library provides extensive logging. Each API interaction is logged on the debug level, and other messages are added on other levels. In order to provide logging this library uses the go-ovirt-client-log (https://github.com/oVirt/go-ovirt-client-log) interface definition. As long as your logger implements this interface, you will be able to receive log messages. The logging library also provides a few built-in loggers. For example, you can log via the default Go log interface: Or, you can also log in tests: You can also disable logging: Finally, we also provide an adapter library for klog here: https://github.com/oVirt/go-ovirt-client-log-klog Modern-day oVirt engines run secured with TLS. This means that the client needs a way to verify the certificate the server is presenting. This is controlled by the tls parameter of the New() function. You can implement your own source by implementing the TLSProvider interface, but the package also includes a ready-to-use provider. Create the provider using the TLS() function: This provider has several functions. The easiest to set up is using the system trust root for certificates. However, this won't work own Windows: Now you need to add your oVirt engine certificate to your system trust root. If you don't want to, or can't add the certificate to the system trust root, you can also directly provide it to the client. Finally, you can also disable certificate verification. Do we need to say that this is a very, very bad idea? The configured tls variable can then be passed to the New() function to create an oVirt client. This library attempts to retry API calls that can be retried if possible. Each function has a sensible retry policy. However, you may want to customize the retries by passing one or more retry flags. The following retry flags are supported: This strategy will stop retries when the context parameter is canceled. This strategy adds a wait time after each time, which is increased by the given factor on each try. The default is a backoff with a factor of 2. This strategy will cancel retries if the error in question is a permanent error. This is enabled by default. This strategy will abort retries if a maximum number of tries is reached. On complex calls the retries are counted per underlying API call. This strategy will abort retries if a certain time has been elapsed for the higher level call. This strategy will abort retries if a certain underlying API call takes longer than the specified duration.

Package dawg is an implemention of a Directed Acyclic Word Graph, as described on my blog at http://stevehanov.ca/blog/?id=115 A DAWG provides fast lookup of all possible prefixes of words in a dictionary, as well as the ability to get the index number of any word. This particular implementation may be different from others because it is very memory efficient, and it also works fast with large character sets. It can deal with thousands of branches out of a single node without needing to go through each one. The storage format is as small as possible. Bits are used instead of bytes so that no space is wasted as padding, and there are no practical limitations to the number of nodes or characters. A summary of the data format is found at the top of disk.go. In general, to use it you first create a builder using dawg.New(). You can then add words to the Dawg. The two restrictions are that you cannot repeat a word, and they must be in strictly increasing alphabetical order. After all the words are added, call Finish() which returns a dawg.Finder interface. You can perform queries with this interface, such as finding all prefixes of a given string which are also words, or looking up a word's index that you have previously added. After you have called Finish() on a Builder, you may choose to write it to disk using the Save() function. The DAWG can then be opened again later using the Load() function. When opened from disk, no memory is used. The structure is accessed in-place on disk.
