executable-example

Simple example to show how to get executable path for Go program.

Using:

• os.Args[0]
• filepath.Abs(os.Args[0])
• runtime.Caller(0)
• github.com/kardianos/osext => osext.Executable

What you should test to compare behavior:

• running builded binary from different folder
• go run
• running from symlinked folder/file
• running in cron
• running this program from other program/script
