Package tools provides common methods and utilities for Go(lang) based development tools that cover:

• integration tests (primarily, ais/test/*),
• benchmarks (under bench/),
• aisloader.

This package and its sub-packages (listed below) should not be linked into production code. Unlike, say, cmn package (that also contains common functions) devtools is solely intended for usage with development tools.

Package devtools itself contains a spectrum of general-purpose sources and is further sub-divided into packages that group closely related functions:

Folder	Intended for
archive	Create, list, and read from archives
readers	Provides io.Reader and related primitives based on: random source, file, scatter-gather list
tassert	Testing asserts - CheckFatal, Errorf, Fatalf, and other convenient assertions
tetl	Common functions used for (and by) ETL tests
tlog	Uniform logging for integrations tests
