Security with Go

Quickly writing to a file

The ioutil package has a useful function called WriteFile(), that will handle creating/opening, writing a slice of bytes, and closing. It is useful if you just need a quick way to dump a slice of bytes to a file:

package main 
 
import ( 
   "io/ioutil" 
   "log" 
) 
 
func main() { 
   err := ioutil.WriteFile("test.txt", []byte("Hi\n"), 0666) 
   if err != nil { 
      log.Fatal(err) 
   } 
}
