Idiomatic Go bindings for Ghostscript Interpreter C API.

go-ghostscript

Simple, and idiomatic Go bindings for Ghostscript Interpreter C API.

Idiomatic is italicised because no true Go code should include cgo. Ironic, I know.

Ghostscript is a suite of software based on an interpreter for Adobe Systems' PostScript and Portable Document Format (PDF) page description languages. Its main purposes are the rasterization or rendering of such page description language files, for the display or printing of document pages, and the conversion between PostScript and PDF files. - Wikipedia

I would not recommend using this on production. I only worked on it to experiment with cgo, and I do not plan on maintaining it very often. Contributions are nevertheless, welcomed.
