A parameter type prefixed with three dots (…) is called a variadic parameter. That means you can pass any number or arguments into that parameter (just like with fmt.Printf()). The function will receive the list of arguments for the parameter as a slice of the type declared for the parameter ([]interface{} in your case). The Go Specification states:
The final parameter in a function signature may have a type prefixed with …. A function with such a parameter is called variadic and may be invoked with zero or more arguments for that parameter.
A parameter:
a ...interface{}
Is, for the function equivalent to:
a []interface{}
The difference is how you pass the arguments to such a function. It is done either by giving each element of the slice separately, or as a single slice, in which case you will have to suffix the slice-value with the three dots. The following examples will result in the same call:
fmt.Println("First", "Second", "Third")
Will do the same as:
s := []interface{}{"First", "Second", "Third"}
fmt.Println(s...)
This is explained quite well in the Go Specification as well:
Given the function and calls
func Greeting(prefix string, who ...string) Greeting("nobody") Greeting("hello:", "Joe", "Anna", "Eileen")within
Greeting,whowill have the valuenilin the first call, and[]string{"Joe", "Anna", "Eileen"}in the second.If the final argument is assignable to a slice type
[]T, it may be passed unchanged as the value for a...Tparameter if the argument is followed by.... In this case no new slice is created.Given the slice
sand calls := []string{"James", "Jasmine"} Greeting("goodbye:", s...)within
Greeting,whowill have the same value asswith the same underlying array.
