5 // Package syscall contains an interface to the low-level operating system
6 // primitives. The details vary depending on the underlying system.
7 // Its primary use is inside other packages that provide a more portable
8 // interface to the system, such as "os", "time" and "net". Use those
9 // packages rather than this one if you can.
10 // For details of the functions and data types in this package consult
11 // the manuals for the appropriate operating system.
12 // These calls return err == nil to indicate success; otherwise
13 // err is an operating system error describing the failure.
14 // On most systems, that error has type syscall.Errno.
