function::modname - Linux


Overview

function::modname is a build tool command used in Go projects to generate function names for variables, types, constants, and other identifiers. It is primarily employed in code generation scenarios to ensure uniform naming conventions.

Syntax

function::modname [global flags] <function name>

Options/Flags

None

Examples

Generate a function name for a variable called exampleVar:

function::modname exampleVar

Output:

ExampleVar

Create a function name for a type named ExampleType:

function::modname ExampleType

Output:

ExampleType

Common Issues

  • Incorrect function casing: The generated function names follow the Go naming conventions, which use CamelCase format. Ensure that the input function name adheres to these conventions for proper name generation.

Integration

function::modname can be incorporated into build processes to automatically generate consistent and standardized names for identifiers. It can be integrated into makefiles, CI/CD pipelines, or other automated tasks.
