Module go 

go literal encoders.

encodes untrusted strings for safe embedding in go source literals.

• for_go_string — safe for go interpreted string literals ("...")
• for_go_char — safe for go rune literals ('...')
• for_go_byte_string — safe for go byte-explicit string literals ([]byte("..."))

encoding rules

all three encoders use go’s native escape syntax:

• named escapes: \a, \b, \t, \n, \v, \f, \r, \\
• other C0 controls and DEL → \xHH
• unicode non-characters → space (string/char) or \xHH per byte (byte string)

the encoders differ in which quote is escaped and how non-ASCII is handled:

encoder	quote escape	non-ASCII
for_go_string	" → \"	passes through
for_go_char	' → \'	passes through
for_go_byte_string	" → \"	each UTF-8 byte → \xHH

Functions

for_go_byte_string

encodes input for safe embedding in a go string literal used in a byte-explicit context ([]byte("...")).

for_go_char

encodes input for safe embedding in a go rune literal ('...').

for_go_string

encodes input for safe embedding in a go interpreted string literal ("...").

write_go_byte_string

writes the go-byte-string-encoded form of input to out.

write_go_char

writes the go-char-encoded form of input to out.

write_go_string

writes the go-string-encoded form of input to out.
