gobundle

v1.1

Provides a tool & API for bundling resources with Go

Gobundle provides a command for packing resources into a go executable. Given a list of packages, for each package, it finds all of the files in <pkg dir>/bundle/, tars and gzips them, writing the resulting data to a byte array in <pkg dir>/bundle.go. The available flags are:

• --file: if present, the data will be written to the argument as a tar. The resulting file will be an actual tar, as opposed to the golang byte array literal that is written to bundle.go. This is primarily for testing purposes.

To use the gobundle package, import "github.com/FactomProject/gobundle", set gobundle.Setup.Application.Name to your application name, and call gobundle.Init() (which calls flag.Parse()). The available flags are:

• --conf: sets the configuration directory path; default value depends on the OS
• --data: sets the data directory path; default value depends on the OS
• --unpack <arg>:
  • suppress: Don't unpack
  • unpack[,force]: Do unpack
  • detect[,force]: Unpack if the conf and data are non-extant
  • only[,force]: Unpack and exit
  • force forces unpack, overwriting extant files
