Package rcon implements the communication protocol for communicating with RCON servers. Tested and working with Valve game servers.
With Google's Go installed on your machine:
$ go get -u github.com/chuckpreslar/rcon
A simple example using the library to authorize to the RCON server and issue a command.
package main
import (
"github.com/chuckpreslar/rcon"
)
func main() {
client, err := rcon.NewClient("127.0.0.1" /* Your servers IP address */, 27015 /* Its port */)
if nil != err {
// Failed to open TCP connection to server.
panic(err)
}
var packet *rcon.Packet
packet, err = client.Authorize("password" /* The RCON password for your server */)
if nil != err {
// Failed to authorize your connection with the server.
panic(err)
}
packet, err = client.Execute("command" /* The command to run */)
if nil != err {
// Failed to execute command
panic(err)
}
// Result of running command stored in packet.Body
