GO-GOST REGISTRY KNOWLEDGE BASE

Generated: Wed Feb 04 2026

OVERVIEW

Central registration point for all pluggable GOST components (handlers, listeners, dialers, etc.). Allows the configuration system to resolve string types (e.g., "socks5") to actual Go implementations.

STRUCTURE

One file per component type, exporting a standard Registry interface.

go-gost/x/registry/
├── handler.go    # RegisterHandler(name, newFunc)
├── listener.go   # RegisterListener(name, newFunc)
├── dialer.go     # RegisterDialer(name, newFunc)
└── ...           # Same pattern for auth, bypass, admission

WHERE TO LOOK

Task	Location	Notes
Register a new component	go-gost/x/registry/{type}.go	Use Register{Type}(name, creator)
Component lookup	go-gost/x/registry/{type}.go	Get{Type}(name) returns the creator function
Default registrations	go-gost/x/ (init functions)	Most components register themselves in their package init()

CONVENTIONS

• Thread-safe maps used for storage.
• Names are case-sensitive (usually lowercase).
• Components must be registered before the configuration parser runs (usually done via import _ "..." in main.go).
