Create,NewFile,Open,OpenFileの違い

osパッケージのCreate, NewFile, Open, OpenFile違いについて

Open,CreateはOpenFileの省略形

go/src/os/file.go

func Open(name string) (file *File, err error) {
  return OpenFile(name, O_RDONLY, 0)
}
func Create(name string) (file *File, err error) {
  return OpenFile(name, O_RDWR|O_CREATE|O_TRUNC, 0666)
}

OpenFileは実装で異なる

$ grep "func OpenFile" . -r
./file_windows.go:func OpenFile(name string, flag int, perm FileMode) (file *File, err error) {
./file_unix.go:func OpenFile(name string, flag int, perm FileMode) (file *File, err error) {
./file_plan9.go:func OpenFile(name string, flag int, perm FileMode) (file *File, err error) {

go/src/os/file_unix.go

func OpenFile(name string, flag int, perm FileMode) (file *File, err error) {
  r, e := syscall.Open(name, flag|syscall.O_CLOEXEC, syscallMode(perm))
  if e != nil {
    return nil, &PathError{"open", name, e}
  }

  // There's a race here with fork/exec, which we are
  // content to live with.  See ../syscall/exec_unix.go.
  if !supportsCloseOnExec {
    syscall.CloseOnExec(r)
  }

  return NewFile(uintptr(r), name), nil
}

NewFileはさらに低レベルな処理

$ grep "func NewFile" . -r
./file_windows.go:func NewFile(fd uintptr, name string) *File {
./file_unix.go:func NewFile(fd uintptr, name string) *File {
./file_plan9.go:func NewFile(fd uintptr, name string) *File {

go/src/os/file_unix.go

func NewFile(fd uintptr, name string) *File {
  fdi := int(fd)
  if fdi < 0 {
    return nil
  }
  f := &File{&file{fd: fdi, name: name}}
  runtime.SetFinalizer(f.file, (*file).close)
  return f
}
