Hello all,
I’ve been reading the documentation for:
https://golang.org/pkg/os/exec/
https://golang.org/pkg/syscall/
It seems none of these functions return the text from the call. For example if you do a syscall for “whoami”, I would like to see the actual return value.
Am I missing something here?
Happy Friday!
The syscall stuff is low level. Typically you would pass it a pointer to a buffer of bytes and it would fill in the value there.
Can you share some code that fails? At least os.exec should work as advertised. (I cannot comment on syscall; as @calmh already pointed out, this is pretty low-level functionality.) Check out the examples in the os.exec documentation, they show how the API is expected to be used.
