// Package reload offers lightweight automatic reloading of running processes. // // After initialisation with reload.Do() any changes to the binary will // restart the process. // // Example: // // go func() { // err := reload.Do(log.Printf) // if err != nil { // panic(err) // } // }() // // A list of additional directories to watch can be added: // // go func() { // err := reload.Do(log.Printf, reload.Dir("tpl", reloadTpl) // if err != nil { // panic(err) // } // }() // // Note that this package won't prevent race conditions (e.g. when assigning to // a global templates variable).
