get system type in go

You can get the system type in Go by using the runtime.GOOS variable.

Here's an example code snippet:

main.go
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "runtime"
)

func main() {
    fmt.Println("Operating System:", runtime.GOOS)
}
117 chars
11 lines

The above code will print the name of the operating system on which the program is running. This value will be one of the following:

• darwin (macOS)
• freebsd
• linux
• windows
• netbsd
• openbsd
• plan9
• dragonfly

Note that runtime.GOOS returns the operating system's official name, which may not always be the same as the user-friendly name.
