__Example__
```go
st, err := madmClnt.ServiceStatus()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
log.Printf("%#v\n", st)
```
< a name = "ServiceRestart" > < / a >
### ServiceRestart() (error)
If successful restarts the running minio service, for distributed setup restarts all remote minio servers.
__Example__
```go
st, err := madmClnt.ServiceRestart()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
log.Printf("Success")
```
< a name = "ListLocks" > < / a >
### ListLocks(bucket, prefix string, duration time.Duration) ([]VolumeLockInfo, error)
If successful returns information on the list of locks held on ``bucket`` matching ``prefix`` for longer than ``duration`` seconds.
__Example__
``` go
volLocks, err := madmClnt.ListLocks("mybucket", "myprefix", 30 * time.Second)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
log.Println("List of locks: ", volLocks)
```
< a name = "ClearLocks" > < / a >
### ClearLocks(bucket, prefix string, duration time.Duration) ([]VolumeLockInfo, error)
If successful returns information on the list of locks cleared on ``bucket`` matching ``prefix`` for longer than ``duration`` seconds.
__Example__
``` go
volLocks, err := madmClnt.ClearLocks("mybucket", "myprefix", 30 * time.Second)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
log.Println("List of locks cleared: ", volLocks)
```
< a name = "ListObjectsHeal" > < / a >
### ListObjectsHeal(bucket, prefix string, recursive bool, doneCh <-chan struct{}) (<-chan ObjectInfo, error)
If successful returns information on the list of objects that need healing in ``bucket`` matching ``prefix``.
__Example__
``` go
// Create a done channel to control 'ListObjectsHeal' go routine.
doneCh := make(chan struct{})
// Indicate to our routine to exit cleanly upon return.
defer close(doneCh)
// Set true if recursive listing is needed.
isRecursive := true
// List objects that need healing for a given bucket and
// prefix.
healObjectCh, err := madmClnt.ListObjectsHeal("mybucket", "myprefix", isRecursive, doneCh)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
for object := range healObjectsCh {
if object.Err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
return
}
if object.HealObjectInfo != nil {
switch healInfo := *object.HealObjectInfo; healInfo.Status {
case madmin.CanHeal:
fmt.Println(object.Key, " can be healed.")
case madmin.QuorumUnavailable:
fmt.Println(object.Key, " can't be healed until quorum is available.")
case madmin.Corrupted:
fmt.Println(object.Key, " can't be healed, not enough information.")
}
}
fmt.Println("object: ", object)
}
```
< a name = "ListBucketsHeal" > < / a >
### ListBucketsHeal() error
If successful returns information on the list of buckets that need healing.
__Example__
``` go
// List buckets that need healing
healBucketsList, err := madmClnt.ListBucketsHeal()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
for bucket := range healBucketsList {
if bucket.HealBucketInfo != nil {
switch healInfo := *object.HealBucketInfo; healInfo.Status {
case madmin.CanHeal:
fmt.Println(bucket.Key, " can be healed.")
case madmin.QuorumUnavailable:
fmt.Println(bucket.Key, " can't be healed until quorum is available.")
case madmin.Corrupted:
fmt.Println(bucket.Key, " can't be healed, not enough information.")
}
}
fmt.Println("bucket: ", bucket)
}
```
< a name = "HealBucket" > < / a >
### HealBucket(bucket string, isDryRun bool) error
If bucket is successfully healed returns nil, otherwise returns error indicating the reason for failure. If isDryRun is true, then the bucket is not healed, but heal bucket request is validated by the server. e.g, if the bucket exists, if bucket name is valid etc.
__Example__
``` go
isDryRun := false
err := madmClnt.HealBucket("mybucket", isDryRun)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
log.Println("successfully healed mybucket")
```
< a name = "HealObject" > < / a >
### HealObject(bucket, object string, isDryRun bool) error
If object is successfully healed returns nil, otherwise returns error indicating the reason for failure. If isDryRun is true, then the object is not healed, but heal object request is validated by the server. e.g, if the object exists, if object name is valid etc.
__Example__
``` go
isDryRun := false
err := madmClnt.HealObject("mybucket", "myobject", isDryRun)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
log.Println("successfully healed mybucket/myobject")
```
< a name = "HealFormat" > < / a >
### HealFormat(isDryRun bool) error
Heal storage format on available disks. This is used when disks were replaced or were found with missing format. This is supported only for erasure-coded backend.
__Example__
``` go
isDryRun := true
err := madmClnt.HealFormat(isDryRun)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
isDryRun = false
err = madmClnt.HealFormat(isDryRun)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
log.Println("successfully healed storage format on available disks.")
```
< a name = "GetConfig" > < / a >
### GetConfig() ([]byte, error)
Get config.json of a minio setup.
__Example__
``` go
configBytes, err := madmClnt.GetConfig()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed due to: %v", err)
}
// Pretty-print config received as json.
var buf bytes.Buffer
err = json.Indent(buf, configBytes, "", "\t")
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed due to: %v", err)
}
log.Println("config received successfully: ", string(buf.Bytes()))
```
