please-go: please but in go

Please don't take this too seriously, this is just a silly application I made for fun when I was bored.

Background

This is a Go port of please which is a silly application with no good use.

I ported it now as Go 1.16 has added Setuid and Setgid, so this is now possible.

I have written the Go version to be as close as possible to the C version, but well it is also bad and without almost any error handling.

Compatibility

Should work on all Linux distros. Might work on *BSD and macOS.

Install

• clone the repo (git clone https://github.com/bitcynth/please-go.git)
• compile (go build or make build)
• install (make install as root)
• use (please help)

Build requirements

Go 1.16+ is required.

The feature that Go 1.16 introduced that is required is in CL 210639.
