GArLIC: GolAng LInux Connector
GARLIC is a simple proc connector interface for golang.
It's dead simple, and built on top of @mdlayher's gloang netlink library
The Proc Connector interface is mildly obscure, and you can read more here
Tutorial
//Open a connection to the local Proc connector instance
//This requires root.
cn, err := DialPCN()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("%s", err)
}
//Read in events
for {
data, err := cn.ReadPCN()
if err != nil {
log.Errorf("Read fail: %s", err)
}
fmt.Printf("%#v\n", data)
}
//You can also filter by a list of events
cn, err := DialPCNWithEvents([]EventType{ProcEventGID, ProcEventExit})
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("%s", err)
}Why?
Because it's fun. Also, garlic is my favorite seasoning.
What's next?
- A CLI implementation is in the works.
- Find a non-root way to run the tests.
- Start looking at perf data
- add new interfaces
- Expand tests
