关于go里面cap的结果的疑问

import "fmt"

func main() {
    var a []int
    printSlice("a", a)

    // append works on nil slices.
    a = append(a, 0)
    printSlice("a", a)

    // the slice grows as needed.
    a = append(a, 1)
    printSlice("a", a)

    // we can add more than one element at a time.
    a = append(a, 2, 3, 4)
    printSlice("a", a)
}

func printSlice(s string, x []int) {
    fmt.Printf("%s len=%d cap=%d %v\n",
        s, len(x), cap(x), x)
}

运行结果：

a len=0 cap=0 []
a len=1 cap=2 [0]
a len=2 cap=2 [0 1]
a len=5 cap=8 [0 1 2 3 4]

求大神指导下里面的cap值都是怎么得来的，特别是第二个是2，第三个也是2
