In Go, expvar variables can be removed by calling the expvar.Remove()
function. This function takes a parameter of the variable name that needs to be removed.
Here is an example of how to clean up and remove expvar variables:
package main
import (
"expvar"
"fmt"
"time"
)
func main() {
// Create a new expvar variable
myVar := expvar.NewInt("myVar")
myVar.Set(123)
// Print the variable value
fmt.Println("myVar:", myVar.Value())
// Wait for some time to simulate the usage of the variable
time.Sleep(time.Second * 5)
// Remove the variable when it is no longer needed
expvar.Remove("myVar")
// Print the variable again after removal, which will print an empty string
fmt.Println("myVar after removal:", myVar.Value())
}
In this example, we create an expvar variable named "myVar" using expvar.NewInt()
. After setting its value, we print the value using myVar.Value()
. Then, we simulate the usage of the variable by waiting for some time. Finally, we remove the variable using expvar.Remove()
. After removal, if we try to print the variable again, it will print an empty string.
