runtime.PlatformInfo

An object containing information about the current platform.

Type

Values of this type are objects, which contain the following properties:

os

runtime.PlatformOs. The platform's operating system.

arch

runtime.PlatformArch. The platform's processor architecture.

nacl_arch

runtime.PlatformNaclArch. The Google Native Client architecture. Only Chromium-based browsers support this attribute, and Chromium is removing it. Consider migrating to arch, which contains equivalent information and is more descriptive on some platforms (ARM and RISC-V).
