## Find the current Executable and ExecutableFolder.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As of go1.8 the Executable function may be found in `os`. The Executable function
|
||
|
|
in the std lib `os` package is used if available.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is sometimes utility in finding the current executable file
|
||
|
|
that is running. This can be used for upgrading the current executable
|
||
|
|
or finding resources located relative to the executable file. Both
|
||
|
|
working directory and the os.Args[0] value are arbitrary and cannot
|
||
|
|
be relied on; os.Args[0] can be "faked".
