mycnf

Read a .my.cnf file and extract credentials and other details to connect to a MySQL database.

func ReadMyCnf reads a .my.cnf (~/.my.cnf by default), searches for the named "profile" in that file and returns a DSN (string) suitable for use in sql.Open().

This is based on a gist from https://gist.github.com/nickcarenza and modified to accept default values passed in a structure from the calling function.

func ReadMyCnf

func ReadMyCnf(configFile *string, profile string) (map[string]string, error)

ReadMyCnf reads a .my.cnf section "profile", fills in missing values in the passed structure, and returns a DSN suitable for use in db.Open(). ReadMyCnf returns an error only if there was an actual error attempting to access the file. Not finding the file or the "profile" within the file is not an error.
