Golang : Read directory content with os.Open
There are few ways to traverse a directory tree and content in Go. One of them is os.File.Readdir function. In this tutorial, we will see how to read a directory and display its files and size. This example will use the os.Open http://golang.org/pkg/os/#File.Readdir function.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
"path/filepath"
)
func main() {
dirname := "." + string(filepath.Separator)
d, err := os.Open(dirname)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
defer d.Close()
files, err := d.Readdir(-1)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
fmt.Println("Reading "+ dirname)
for _, file := range files {
if file.Mode().IsRegular() {
fmt.Println(file.Name(), file.Size(), "bytes")
}
}
}
Test this code out and see the output of your directory. Hope this tutorial is helpful.
