In Python, using the struct
module, I can do something like this to get a packed representation of a value as a string:
import struct
print struct.pack('L', 64)
"@\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00"
struct.unpack('L', '@\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00')
(64,)
I'd like to do something similar in Go, except I'm a little unclear on how to do so. I know I can do something like this:
import (
"encoding/binary"
"fmt"
)
bs := make([]byte, 8)
binary.PutUvarint(bs, uint64(64))
fmt.Printf("%s", bs)
"@"
But that's very different and probably not what I want.
