7 // Package windows contains an interface to the low-level operating system
8 // primitives. OS details vary depending on the underlying system, and
9 // by default, godoc will display the OS-specific documentation for the current
10 // system. If you want godoc to display syscall documentation for another
11 // system, set $GOOS and $GOARCH to the desired system. For example, if
12 // you want to view documentation for freebsd/arm on linux/amd64, set $GOOS
13 // to freebsd and $GOARCH to arm.
15 // The primary use of this package is inside other packages that provide a more
16 // portable interface to the system, such as "os", "time" and "net". Use
17 // those packages rather than this one if you can.
19 // For details of the functions and data types in this package consult
20 // the manuals for the appropriate operating system.
22 // These calls return err == nil to indicate success; otherwise
23 // err represents an operating system error describing the failure and
24 // holds a value of type syscall.Errno.
