Windows wrappers ?

<p>There are times when you need to run GO on Windows and you need a certain kind of data that you just can&#39;t get via stdlib. Besides this <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35154074/how-do-i-manage-windows-user-accounts-in-go" rel="nofollow">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35154074/how-do-i-manage-windows-user-accounts-in-go</a></p> <p>can anyone point me to some other source of information ?</p> <hr/>**评论：**<br/><br/>Sphax: <pre><p>What are you looking for exactly ? The post you link is right, the easiest and less painful way to interact with the windows API is to call the DLLs directly. More info here <a href="https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/WindowsDLLs" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/WindowsDLLs</a></p> <p>There&#39;s also <a href="https://github.com/AllenDang/w32" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/AllenDang/w32</a> which wraps quite a few APIs already. I&#39;ve used it before it&#39;s not bad.</p></pre>globalgobble: <pre><p>I am looking for many things. For the moment I&#39;d like to prototype fast so I guess controlling the environment would be a good thing. </p> <p>Meaning: 1) knowing the .NET version 2) being able to install arbitrary .NET version 3) setting permissions ? For everything else I&#39;ll do in C# and I start the binaries from GO project</p></pre>Sphax: <pre><p>Well I have no idea how you would automate this and I don&#39;t think the win32 API will help. You probably should just use exec.Command and run the .NET installer like this.</p> <p>For permissions I don&#39;t know specifically either, I suggest you search on MSDN what win32 API you need to do what you want and after that you search (or write) a Go wrapper for it.</p></pre>globalgobble: <pre><p>Well I imagine it would be done the same as with C#. I open the RegistryKey db and scan through the values.</p> <p>With installation I guess it&#39;s going to be more tricky especially getting the output from exe ?</p></pre>Sphax: <pre><p>To access the registry there&#39;s <a href="https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/sys/windows/registry" rel="nofollow">https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/sys/windows/registry</a> that works well, I&#39;ve used successfully before.</p> <p>Getting the output from a command run via exec.Command is easy enough, look at <a href="https://golang.org/pkg/os/exec/#Cmd" rel="nofollow">https://golang.org/pkg/os/exec/#Cmd</a> . You can either set the cmd.Stdout and cmd.Stderr fields to something like a file or a bytes.Buffer ; or you can skip them and call cmd.Output().</p></pre>globalgobble: <pre><p>Thanks. I&#39;ll definitely check that one out.</p> <p>For the exec.cmd...I prefer not to use it unless I absolutely have to. I guess I would rather venture to the world of unsafe and syscalls</p></pre>
