// 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.
|
|
//
|
|
// Syntax
|
|
//
|
|
// 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:
|
|
// - improve data portability:
|
|
// - must be encoded in UTF-8 (for now) and must not contain the 0 byte
|
|
// - include and "path" type is not supported
|
|
// (path type may be implementable as a user-defined type)
|
|
// - internationalization
|
|
// - section and variable names can contain unicode letters, unicode digits
|
|
// (as defined in http://golang.org/ref/spec#Characters ) and hyphens
|
|
// (U+002D), starting with a unicode letter
|
|
// - disallow potentially ambiguous or misleading definitions:
|
|
// - `[sec.sub]` format is not allowed (deprecated in gitconfig)
|
|
// - `[sec ""]` is not allowed
|
|
// - use `[sec]` for section name "sec" and empty subsection name
|
|
// - (planned) within a single file, definitions must be contiguous for each:
|
|
// - section: '[secA]' -> '[secB]' -> '[secA]' is an error
|
|
// - subsection: '[sec "A"]' -> '[sec "B"]' -> '[sec "A"]' is an error
|
|
// - multivalued variable: 'multi=a' -> 'other=x' -> 'multi=b' is an error
|
|
//
|
|
// Data structure
|
|
//
|
|
// 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).
|
|
//
|
|
// Parsing of 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.
|
|
//
|
|
// Error handling
|
|
//
|
|
// There are 3 types of errors:
|
|
//
|
|
// - programmer errors / panics:
|
|
// - invalid configuration structure
|
|
// - data errors:
|
|
// - fatal errors:
|
|
// - invalid configuration syntax
|
|
// - warnings:
|
|
// - data that doesn't belong to any part of the config structure
|
|
//
|
|
// 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.
|
|
//
|
|
// TODO
|
|
//
|
|
// The following is a list of changes under consideration:
|
|
// - documentation
|
|
// - self-contained syntax documentation
|
|
// - more practical examples
|
|
// - move TODOs to issue tracker (eventually)
|
|
// - syntax
|
|
// - reconsider valid escape sequences
|
|
// (gitconfig doesn't support \r in value, \t in subsection name, etc.)
|
|
// - reading / parsing gcfg files
|
|
// - define internal representation structure
|
|
// - support multiple inputs (readers, strings, files)
|
|
// - support declaring encoding (?)
|
|
// - support varying fields sets for subsections (?)
|
|
// - writing gcfg files
|
|
// - error handling
|
|
// - make error context accessible programmatically?
|
|
// - limit input size?
