# Contributing to Go

Go is an open source project.

It is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

## Before filing an issue

If you are unsure whether you have found a bug, please consider asking in the [golang-nuts mailing
list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts) or [other forums](https://golang.org/help/) first. If

			// Ignore field names that don't have the prefix we're
			// looking for. It is common in C headers to have fields
			// named, say, _pad in an otherwise prefixed header.
			// If the struct has 3 fields tv_sec, tv_usec, _pad1, then we
			// still want to remove the tv_ prefix.
			// The check for "orig_" here handles orig_eax in the
			// x86 ptrace register sets, which otherwise have all fields
			// with reg_ prefixes.

package tar

// Format represents the tar archive format.
//
// The original tar format was introduced in Unix V7.
// Since then, there have been multiple competing formats attempting to
// standardize or extend the V7 format to overcome its limitations.
// The most common formats are the USTAR, PAX, and GNU formats,
// each with their own advantages and limitations.

	// IDs above that range are defined by third-party vendors.
	// Since ZIP lacked high precision timestamps (nor an official specification
	// of the timezone used for the date fields), many competing extra fields
	// have been invented. Pervasive use effectively makes them "official".

Files in this repo's `api/next` directory must have corresponding files in
`doc/next/*stdlib/*minor`.
The files should be in the subdirectory for the package with the new
API, and should be named after the issue number of the API proposal.
For example, if the directory `6-stdlib/99-minor` is present,
then an `api/next` file with the line

// AST expression onto a single line. The lexer normally inserts a

// expression passed through gofmt, which means composite literals and

// information) operators.
