Go has made it easy to work with Unix operations, it comes with the platform-independent built-in package os to interface with the operating system.
They offer nice features such as os.Stdin and os.Stdout, wrappers of type os.File around the OS’s common standard streams.
The os/exec package is also great. It allows you to run Unix-tools from within your Go application.
