Is there a code sample or a tutorial for beginners somewhere?

I can't simply use go-yara like I can with yara-python，Is there a code sample or a tutorial for beginners somewhere?

Sure. Please have a look at the _examples/simple-yara directory.

Is there anything else you need to get started … or do you have suggestions on how to improve the documentation?

Even I appreciate It's not particularly easy to use than yara-python

So much appreciate for your reply, I'm sorry to say, go-yara is not particularlly easy to use than yara-python.....，You'd better to optimize the API.

I sincerely hope that go-yara can grow and grow

At the moment, I don't think that there is anything to be done to improve the API. Since Go is a language based on weak static types, the experience is going to be a bit different from what you get with Python. (I had a brief look at Go 1.18+ "generics", but there wasn't anything that could have been improved by usinig generiics.)

So, if there's anything that can be improved regarding examples or other documentation, please tell me.

I have to respectfully disagree with @b1tkeeper.

We successfully used go-yara and a set of yara rules in one of our internal security services. It is stable and performs great. We scan more than 3 million files daily.

@aosti Thank you for your feedback. :-)

@b1tkeeper: Unless you have any specific suggestions on what to improve (preferably in the form of pull requests for documentation), I'm going to close this issue.

Since there are no specific suggestions on what to improve, I'm closing this issue.
