The chain of function calls between must // propagate the Context, optionally replacing it with a modified copy created // using WithDeadline, WithTimeout, WithCancel, or WithValue. // // Programs that use Contexts should follow these rules to keep interfaces // consistent across packages and enable static analysis tools to check context // propagation: // // Do not store Contexts inside a struct type; instead, pass a Context // explicitly to each function that needs it. The Context should be the first // parameter, typically named ctx: // // func DoSomething(ctx context.Context, arg Arg) error { // // ... use ctx ... // } // // Do not pass a nil Context, even if a function permits it. Pass context.TODO // if you are unsure about which Context to use. // // Use context Values only for request-scoped data that transits processes and // APIs, not for passing optional parameters to functions. // // The same Context may be passed to functions running in different goroutines; // Contexts are safe for simultaneous use by multiple goroutines. // // See http://blog.golang.org/context for example code for a server that uses // Contexts. package context import ( "errors" "fmt" "sync" "time" ) // A Context carries a deadline, a cancelation signal, and other values across // API boundaries. // // Context's methods may be called by multiple goroutines simultaneously. type Context interface { // Deadline returns the time when work done on behalf of this context // should be canceled.
