Arista Go library
areflect
Helper functions to work with the reflect
package. Contains ForceExport()
, which bypasses the check in reflect.Value
that prevents accessing unexported attributes.
monotime
Provides access to a fast monotonic clock source, to fill in the gap in the Go standard library, which lacks one. Don't use time.Now()
in code that needs to time things or otherwise assume that time passes at a constant rate, instead use monotime.Now()
.
cmd
See the cmd directory.
dscp
Provides ListenTCPWithTOS()
, which is a replacement for net.ListenTCP()
that allows specifying the ToS (Type of Service), to specify DSCP / ECN / class of service flags to use for incoming connections. Requires go1.9
.
key
Provides common types used across various Arista projects. The type key.Key
is used to work around the fact that Go can't let one use a non-hashable type as a key to a map
. Because we often use a map[string]interface{}
(or other non-hashable type) as a key to a map, the type key.Map
is used to represent a map that can store both natively hashable and non-hashable types alike. To do this, a non-hashable type must have a custom Hash() method defined. The type key.Path
is the representation of a path broken down into individual elements, where each element is a key.Key
. The type key.Pointer
represents a pointer to a key.Path
.
path
Provides functions that can be used to manipulate key.Path
objects. The type path.Map
may be used for mapping paths to values. It allows for some fuzzy matching for paths containing path.Wildcard
keys.
lanz
A client for LANZ streaming servers. It connects to a LANZ streaming server, listens for notifications, decodes them and sends the LANZ protobuf on the provided channel.
monitor
A library to help expose monitoring metrics on top of the expvar
infrastructure.
netns
netns.Do(namespace, cb)
provides a handy mechanism to execute the given callback cb
in the given network namespace.
influxlib
This is a influxdb library that provides easy methods of connecting to, writing to, and reading from the service.
test
This is a Go library to help in writing unit tests.
