How to append data to an existing file using the os package in Golang?

To append data to an existing file using the os package in Golang, you can follow these steps:

Open the file in append mode using the os.OpenFile function. Pass os.O_APPEND|os.O_WRONLY as the second argument to open the file in append mode.
Seek to the end of the file using the Seek method of the file's *File object. Pass 0, os.SEEK_END as the arguments to seek to the end of the file.
Write the data you want to append to the file using the Write method of the file's *File object.
Finally, close the file using the Close method of the file's *File object.

Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates these steps:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	filePath := "file.txt"
	data := "This is the data to append"

	// Open the file in append mode
	file, err := os.OpenFile(filePath, os.O_APPEND|os.O_WRONLY, 0644)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error opening file:", err)
		return
	}
	defer file.Close()

	// Seek to the end of the file
	_, err = file.Seek(0, os.SEEK_END)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error seeking file:", err)
		return
	}

	// Write the data to append
	_, err = file.Write([]byte(data))
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error writing to file:", err)
		return
	}

	fmt.Println("Data appended successfully!")
}

Make sure to replace the filePath variable with the path to your desired file and the data variable with the data you want to append.
