go-btrfs

Native Go bindings for btrfs.

Status

These are in the early stages. We will try to maintain stability, but please vendor if you are relying on these directly.

Dependencies

v2.x

Headers from kernel 4.12 or newer. The package name is linux-libc-dev on Debian/Ubuntu, kernel-headers on Fedora and RHEL-like distros.

The headers are only required on compilation time, not on run time.

v1.x

libbtrfs headers. The package name is libbtrfs-dev on Debian/Ubuntu, btrfs-progs-devel on Fedora and CentOS 7. The package is not available for Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux.

Contribute

This package may not cover all the use cases for btrfs. If something you need is missing, please don't hesitate to submit a PR.

Note that due to struct alignment issues, this isn't yet fully native. Preferably, this could be resolved, so contributions in this direction are greatly appreciated.

Applying License Header to New Files

If you submit a contribution that adds a new file, please add the license header. You can do so manually or use the ltag tool:

$ go get github.com/kunalkushwaha/ltag
$ ltag -t ./license-templates

The above will add the appropriate licenses to Go files. New templates will need to be added if other kinds of files are added. Please consult the documentation at https://github.com/kunalkushwaha/ltag
