type Group

type Group struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Group is a collection of goroutines working on subtasks that are part of the same overall task.

A zero Group is valid and does not cancel on error.

func WithContext

func WithContext(ctx context.Context) (*Group, context.Context)

WithContext returns a new Group and an associated Context derived from ctx.

The derived Context is canceled the first time a function passed to Go returns a non-nil error or the first time Wait returns, whichever occurs first.

func (*Group) Go

func (g *Group) Go(f func() error)

Go calls the given function in a new goroutine.

The first call to return a non-nil error cancels the group; its error will be returned by Wait.

func (*Group) Wait

func (g *Group) Wait() error

Wait blocks until all function calls from the Go method have returned, then returns the first non-nil error (if any) from them.
