MIMIC Go API Guide

Requirements

The MIMIC Go API is an optional Update Wizard package, and requires the use of a recent version of the Go language.

MIMIC has been tested with Go version 1.5.4 on Linux and version 1.13.5 on Windows.

Make sure you have Go installed, eg.

$go version
go version go1.5.4 linux/amd64

Set your GOPATH environment variable to the golang subdirectory under your MIMIC install area, eg. if MIMIC is installed under the default /usr/local/mimic, in a bash:
```
$export GOPATH=/usr/local/mimic/golang
```
or on Windows
```
$export GOPATH=c:/apps/mimic1920B5/golang
```
Install required packages:
```
$go get github.com/pborman/getopt/v2
```

Class Reference

The Go API is modelled after the Java API. All classes and methods have the same name as in Java, except that Go programming constructs are used. Click here for the generated Java reference documentation.

Examples

The testapp.go program is an small test program to exercise the MIMIC API. Run it as follows:

$go run testapp.go
