What this book covers
Chapter 1, Getting started with Go and Unix Systems Programming, starts by defining what
systems programming is before talking about the advantages and the disadvantages of Go,
the features of Go version 1.8, two handy Go tools named gofmt and godoc, as well as the
various states of Unix processes.
Chapter 2, Writing Programs in Go, helps you learn how to compile Go code and how to use
the environment variables that Go supports, and understand how Go reads the command
line arguments of a program. Then, we will talk about getting user input and output, which
are fundamental tasks, show you how to define functions in Go, where the defer keyword
is mentioned for the first time in this book and continue by discussing the data structures
that Go offers using handy code examples. In the remaining sections of the chapter, we will
discuss Go interfaces and random number generation. I am sure that you are going to enjoy
this chapter!
Chapter 3, Advanced Go Features, goes deeper and starts talking about some advanced Go
features, including error handling, which is critical when developing systems software and
error logging. Then it introduces you to pattern matching and regular expressions, Go
Reflection, and talks about unsafe code. After that, it compares Go to other programming
languages and presents two utilities, named dtrace(1) and strace(1), that allow you to
see what happens behind the scenes when you execute a program. Lastly, it talks about how
you can use the go tool to detect unreachable code and how to avoid some common Go
mistakes.
Chapter 4, Go Packages, Algorithms, and Data Structures, talks about algorithms and sorting
in Go and about the sort.Slice() function, which requires Go version 1.8 or newer. Then
it shows Go implementations of a linked list, a binary tree and a hash table. After that, it
discusses Go packages and teaches you how to create and use your own Go packages. The
last part of the chapter discusses Garbage collection in Go.
Chapter 5, Files and Directories, is the first chapter of this book that deals with a systems
programming topic, which is the handling of files, symbolic links, and directories. In this
chapter, you will find Go implementations of the core functionality of Unix tools such as
which(1), pwd(1), and find(1), but first you will learn how to use the flag package in
order to parse the command-line arguments and options of a Go program. Additionally,
you will learn how to delete, rename, and move files as well as how to traverse directory
structures the Go way. The last part of this chapter implements a utility that creates a copy
of all the directories of a directory structure!
Chapter 6, File Input and Output, shows you how to read the contents of a file, how to
change them, and how to write your own data to files! In this chapter, you will learn about
the io package, the io.Writer and io.Reader interfaces, and the bufio package that is
used for buffered input and output. You will also create Go versions of the cp(1), wc(1),
and dd(1) utilities. Lastly, you will learn about sparse files, how to create sparse files in Go,
how to read and write records from files, and how to lock files in Go.
Chapter 7, Working with System Files, teaches you how to deal with Unix system files, which
includes writing data to Unix log files, appending data to existing files, and altering the
data of text files. In this chapter, you will also learn about the log and log/syslog standard
Go packages, about Unix file permissions, and take your pattern matching and regular
expressions knowledge even further using practical examples. You will also learn about
finding the user ID of a user as well as the Unix groups a user belongs to. Lastly, you will
discover how to work with dates and times in Go using the time package and how to create
and rotate log files on your own.
Chapter 8, Processes and Signals, begins by discussing the handling of Unix signals in Go
with the help of the os/signal package by presenting three Go programs. Then it shows a
Go program that can rotate its log files using signals and signal handling and another Go
program that uses signals to present the progress of a file copy operation. This chapter will
also teach you how to plot data in Go and how to implement Unix pipes in Go. Then it will
implement the cat(1) utility in Go before briefly presenting the Go code of a Unix socket
client. The last section of the chapter quickly discusses how you can program a Unix shell in
Go.
Chapter 9, Goroutines – Basic Features, discusses a very important Go topic, which is
goroutines, by talking about how you can create goroutines and how you can synchronize
them and wait for them to finish before ending a program. Then it talks about channels and
pipelines, which help goroutines communicate and exchange data in a safe way. The last
part of the chapter presents a version of the wc(1) utility that is implemented using
goroutines. However, as goroutines is a big subject, the next chapter will continue talking
about them.
Chapter 10, Goroutines – Advanced Features, talks about more advanced topics related to
goroutines and channels, including buffered channels, signal channels, nil channels,
channels of channels, timeouts, and the select keyword. Then it discusses issues related to
shared memory and mutexes before presenting two more Go versions of the wc(1) utility
that use channels and shared memory. Lastly, this chapter will talk about race conditions
and the GOMAXPROCS environment variable.
Chapter 11, Writing Web Applications in Go, talks about developing web applications and
web servers and clients in Go. Additionally, it talks about communicating with MongoDB
and MySQL databases using Go code. Then, it illustrates how to use the html/template
package, which is part of the Go standard library and allows you to generate HTML output
using Go HTML template files. Lastly, it talks about reading and writing JSON data before
presenting a utility that reads a number of web pages and returns the number of times a
given keyword was found in those web pages.
Chapter 12, Network Programming, discusses topics related to TCP/IP and its protocols using
the net Go standard package. It shows you how to create TCP and UDP clients and servers,
how to perform various types of DNS lookups, and how to use Wireshark to inspect
network traffic. Additionally, it talks about developing RPC clients and servers in Go as
well as developing a Unix socket server and a Unix socket client.
As you will see, at the end of each chapter there are some exercises for you to do in order to
gain more information about important Go packages and write your own Go programs.
