How to use it?

If you want to use this protocol implementation in your own projects, you only need to execute the next command in your project root directory:

$ go get -u github.com/csgoservers/source-rcon/pkg/protocol

To use it in your code, you first need to specify the connection details like host, port and server password. Then you can create the connection and send commands over it. See the next block to use as a template:

import rcon "github.com/csgoservers/source-rcon/pkg/protocol"

func main() {
  opts := &rcon.Options{
	Host:     "127.0.0.1",
	Port:     27025,
	Password: "1234",
  }
  conn := rcon.New(opts)
  defer conn.Close()

  result, err := conn.ExecCommand("cvarlist")
  if err != nil {
	return
  }
  // transform `result` to a string
}

If you have any issue, please send it here.

CLI

Also, if you only want to execute some commands over a Source Dedicated Servers, then you can execute the rcon-cli application. To use it you just need to clone this repository and execute the make build directive. You can change some flags to configure your server settings. See the table below:

Note that the -c flag is required in order to run the cli.

$ ./rcon-cli -H 1.2.3.4 -p 27025 -s 1234 -c cvarlist
