In unix a file is a bag of bytes. Period. There is no such thing as a binary file or a text file, except perhaps in terms of how you retreive data from it, or which magic number the file has. All I/O uses base modules like read. The higher-level i/o modules call read, then play with the data in the buffer and return chunks of it.
Windows programmers insist on "binary". When they come to linux it takes them along time to figure out what the file system actually does.

go-testflag
GO-TESTFLAG(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual GO-TESTFLAG(7)
NAME
go - tool for managing Go source code
DESCRIPTION
The 'go test' command takes both flags that apply to 'go test' itself and flags that apply to the resulting test binary.
The test binary, called pkg.test, where pkg is the name of the directory containing the package sources, has its own flags:
-test.v
Verbose output: log all tests as they are run.
-test.run pattern
Run only those tests and examples matching the regular expression.
-test.bench pattern
Run benchmarks matching the regular expression. By default, no benchmarks run.
-test.cpuprofile cpu.out
Write a CPU profile to the specified file before exiting.
-test.memprofile mem.out
Write a memory profile to the specified file when all tests are complete.
-test.memprofilerate n
Enable more precise (and expensive) memory profiles by setting runtime.MemProfileRate. See 'godoc runtime MemProfileRate'. To pro-
file all memory allocations, use -test.memprofilerate=1 and set the environment variable GOGC=off to disable the garbage collector,
provided the test can run in the available memory without garbage collection.
-test.parallel n
Allow parallel execution of test functions that call t.Parallel. The value of this flag is the maximum number of tests to run
simultaneously; by default, it is set to the value of GOMAXPROCS.
-test.short
Tell long-running tests to shorten their run time. It is off by default but set during all.bash so that installing the Go tree can
run a sanity check but not spend time running exhaustive tests.
-test.timeout t
If a test runs longer than t, panic.
-test.benchtime n
Run enough iterations of each benchmark to take n seconds. The default is 1 second.
-test.cpu 1,2,4
Specify a list of GOMAXPROCS values for which the tests or benchmarks should be executed. The default is the current value of
GOMAXPROCS.
For convenience, each of these -test.X flags of the test binary is also available as the flag -X in 'go test' itself. Flags not listed
here are passed through unaltered. For instance, the command
go test -x -v -cpuprofile=prof.out -dir=testdata -update
will compile the test binary and then run it as
pkg.test -test.v -test.cpuprofile=prof.out -dir=testdata -update
