GoSysUtils

This repo is a collection of functions and tools which I find useful in my daily tool building for Systemadministration with Go.
I've exposed it to access it easier with go get, from anywhere.

Going Forward 2025-08-03

I advise you to fork this repository if you want to use it, as I will migrate to a slightly different name GoSynUtils as well as trying to go for 0 dependencies. Also I made the wrong assumption that I needed to capitalize package to export them. You only need to export it's members.

Package Overview

• Archive: Functions related to compressible artifacts, like zip, tar, gzip, bzip2
• Byte: byte manipulation
• Cmd: Functions to control and interact with the command line
• Data: Structs and functions to handle complex data structures, like heaps and tries
• File: Functions to handle file operations, like copying and moving
• IO: Functions to handle input and output streams
• JSON: Functions to handle JSON data (should be merged with other serialization packages)
• Math: Functions to handle mathematical operations, which are not covered by the standard library
• OS: Functions to handle operating system interactions like process management and system information
• Path: Functions to handle file paths, like joining, splitting, etc. (should probably be merged under pkg File)

• Slice: Functions to handle slice operations
• Str: Functions to handle string operations, like string building, reversing, and validation.
