## 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](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/12914).
|
||
|
|
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](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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## key
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Provides a common type used across various Arista projects, named `key.Key`,
|
||
|
|
which is used to work around the fact that Go can't let one
|
||
|
|
use a non-hashable type as a key to a `map`, and we sometimes need to use
|
||
|
|
a `map[string]interface{}` (or something containing one) as a key to maps.
|
||
|
|
As a result, we frequently use `map[key.Key]interface{}` instead of just
|
||
|
|
`map[interface{}]interface{}` when we need a generic key-value collection.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## lanz
|
||
|
|
A client for [LANZ](https://eos.arista.com/latency-analyzer-lanz-architectures-and-configuration/)
|
||
|
|
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`](https://golang.org/pkg/expvar/) infrastructure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## netns
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`netns.Do(namespace, cb)` provides a handy mechanism to execute the given
|
||
|
|
callback `cb` in the given [network namespace](https://lwn.net/Articles/580893/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## pathmap
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A datastructure for mapping keys of type string slice to values. It
|
||
|
|
allows for some fuzzy matching.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## test
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a [Go](http://golang.org/) library to help in writing unit tests.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
