Go > Format verbs
General:
%v the value in a default format
when printing structs, the plus flag (%+v) adds field names
%#v a Go-syntax representation of the value
%T a Go-syntax representation of the type of the value
%% a literal percent sign; consumes no value
Boolean:
%t the word true or false
Integer:
%b base 2
%c the character represented by the corresponding Unicode code point
%d base 10
%o base 8
%O base 8 with 0o prefix
%q a single-quoted character literal safely escaped with Go syntax.
%x base 16, with lower-case letters for a-f
%X base 16, with upper-case letters for A-F
%U Unicode format: U+1234; same as "U+%04X"
Floating-point and complex constituents:
%b decimalless scientific notation with exponent a power of two,
in the manner of strconv.FormatFloat with the 'b' format,
e.g. -123456p-78
%e scientific notation, e.g. -1.234456e+78
%E scientific notation, e.g. -1.234456E+78
%f decimal point but no exponent, e.g. 123.456
%F synonym for %f
%g %e for large exponents, %f otherwise. Precision is discussed below.
%G %E for large exponents, %F otherwise
%x hexadecimal notation (with decimal power of two exponent), e.g. -0x1.23abcp+20
%X upper-case hexadecimal notation, e.g. -0X1.23ABCP+20
String and slice of bytes (treated equivalently with these verbs):
%s the uninterpreted bytes of the string or slice
%q a double-quoted string safely escaped with Go syntax
%x base 16, lower-case, two characters per byte
%X base 16, upper-case, two characters per byte
Slice:
%p address of 0th element in base 16 notation, with leading 0x
Pointer:
%p base 16 notation, with leading 0x
The %b, %d, %o, %x and %X verbs also work with pointers, formatting the value exactly as if it were an integer.
The default format for %v is:
bool: %t
int, int8 etc.: %d
uint, uint8 etc.: %d, %#x if printed with %#v
float32, complex64, etc: %g
string: %s
chan: %p
pointer: %p
