Constants

const OSType = runtime.GOOS

OSType holds the runtime operating system type of the process. It is an alias for runtime.GOOS.

Deprecated: use runtime.GOOS instead.

Variables

var Architecture string

Architecture holds the runtime architecture of the process.

Unlike runtime.GOARCH (which refers to the compiler platform), Architecture refers to the running platform.

For example, Architecture reports "x86_64" as architecture, even when running a "linux/386" compiled binary on "linux/amd64" hardware.
