Append to a file in Go

Go docs has a perfect example :

package main

import (
    "log"
    "os"
)

func main() {
    // If the file doesn't exist, create it, or append to the file
    f, err := os.OpenFile("access.log", os.O_APPEND|os.O_CREATE|os.O_WRONLY, 0644)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    if _, err := f.Write([]byte("appended some data\n")); err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    if err := f.Close(); err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
}

This answers works in Go1:

f, err := os.OpenFile(filename, os.O_APPEND|os.O_WRONLY|os.O_CREATE, 0600)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

defer f.Close()

if _, err = f.WriteString(text); err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
