      6 Package runtime contains operations that interact with Go's runtime system,
      7 such as functions to control goroutines. It also includes the low-level type information
      8 used by the reflect package; see reflect's documentation for the programmable
      9 interface to the run-time type system.
     10 
     11 Environment Variables
     12 
     13 The following environment variables ($name or %name%, depending on the host
     14 operating system) control the run-time behavior of Go programs. The meanings
     15 and use may change from release to release.
     16 
     17 The GOGC variable sets the initial garbage collection target percentage.
     18 A collection is triggered when the ratio of freshly allocated data to live data
     19 remaining after the previous collection reaches this percentage. The default
     20 is GOGC=100. Setting GOGC=off disables the garbage collector entirely.
     21 The runtime/debug package's SetGCPercent function allows changing this
     22 percentage at run time. See https://golang.org/pkg/runtime/debug/#SetGCPercent.
     23 
     24 The GODEBUG variable controls debugging variables within the runtime.
     25 It is a comma-separated list of name=val pairs setting these named variables:
     26 
     27 	allocfreetrace: setting allocfreetrace=1 causes every allocation to be
     28 	profiled and a stack trace printed on each object's allocation and free.
     29 
     30 	efence: setting efence=1 causes the allocator to run in a mode
     31 	where each object is allocated on a unique page and addresses are
     32 	never recycled.
     33 
     34 	gccheckmark: setting gccheckmark=1 enables verification of the
     35 	garbage collector's concurrent mark phase by performing a
     36 	second mark pass while the world is stopped.  If the second
     37 	pass finds a reachable object that was not found by concurrent
     38 	mark, the garbage collector will panic.
     39 
     40 	gcpacertrace: setting gcpacertrace=1 causes the garbage collector to
     41 	print information about the internal state of the concurrent pacer.
     42 
     43 	gcshrinkstackoff: setting gcshrinkstackoff=1 disables moving goroutines
     44 	onto smaller stacks. In this mode, a goroutine's stack can only grow.
     45 
     46 	gcstackbarrieroff: setting gcstackbarrieroff=1 disables the use of stack barriers
     47 	that allow the garbage collector to avoid repeating a stack scan during the
     48 	mark termination phase.
     49 
     50 	gcstackbarrierall: setting gcstackbarrierall=1 installs stack barriers
     51 	in every stack frame, rather than in exponentially-spaced frames.
     52 
     53 	gcstoptheworld: setting gcstoptheworld=1 disables concurrent garbage collection,
     54 	making every garbage collection a stop-the-world event. Setting gcstoptheworld=2
     55 	also disables concurrent sweeping after the garbage collection finishes.
     56 
     57 	gctrace: setting gctrace=1 causes the garbage collector to emit a single line to standard
     58 	error at each collection, summarizing the amount of memory collected and the
     59 	length of the pause. Setting gctrace=2 emits the same summary but also
     60 	repeats each collection. The format of this line is subject to change.
     61 	Currently, it is:
     62 		gc # @#s #%: #+...+# ms clock, #+...+# ms cpu, #->#-># MB, # MB goal, # P
     63 	where the fields are as follows:
     64 		gc #        the GC number, incremented at each GC
     65 		@#s         time in seconds since program start
     66 		#%          percentage of time spent in GC since program start
     67 		#+...+#     wall-clock/CPU times for the phases of the GC
     68 		#->#-># MB  heap size at GC start, at GC end, and live heap
     69 		# MB goal   goal heap size
     70 		# P         number of processors used
     71 	The phases are stop-the-world (STW) sweep termination, scan,
     72 	synchronize Ps, mark, and STW mark termination. The CPU times
     73 	for mark are broken down in to assist time (GC performed in
     74 	line with allocation), background GC time, and idle GC time.
     75 	If the line ends with "(forced)", this GC was forced by a
     76 	runtime.GC() call and all phases are STW.
     77 
     78 	memprofilerate: setting memprofilerate=X will update the value of runtime.MemProfileRate.
     79 	When set to 0 memory profiling is disabled.  Refer to the description of
     80 	MemProfileRate for the default value.
     81 
     82 	invalidptr: defaults to invalidptr=1, causing the garbage collector and stack
     83 	copier to crash the program if an invalid pointer value (for example, 1)
     84 	is found in a pointer-typed location. Setting invalidptr=0 disables this check.
     85 	This should only be used as a temporary workaround to diagnose buggy code.
     86 	The real fix is to not store integers in pointer-typed locations.
     87 
     88 	sbrk: setting sbrk=1 replaces the memory allocator and garbage collector
     89 	with a trivial allocator that obtains memory from the operating system and
     90 	never reclaims any memory.
     91 
     92 	scavenge: scavenge=1 enables debugging mode of heap scavenger.
     93 
     94 	scheddetail: setting schedtrace=X and scheddetail=1 causes the scheduler to emit
     95 	detailed multiline info every X milliseconds, describing state of the scheduler,
     96 	processors, threads and goroutines.
     97 
     98 	schedtrace: setting schedtrace=X causes the scheduler to emit a single line to standard
     99 	error every X milliseconds, summarizing the scheduler state.
    100 
    101 The GOMAXPROCS variable limits the number of operating system threads that
    102 can execute user-level Go code simultaneously. There is no limit to the number of threads
    103 that can be blocked in system calls on behalf of Go code; those do not count against
    104 the GOMAXPROCS limit. This package's GOMAXPROCS function queries and changes
    105 the limit.
    106 
    107 The GOTRACEBACK variable controls the amount of output generated when a Go
    108 program fails due to an unrecovered panic or an unexpected runtime condition.
    109 By default, a failure prints a stack trace for every extant goroutine, eliding functions
    110 internal to the run-time system, and then exits with exit code 2.
    111 If GOTRACEBACK=0, the per-goroutine stack traces are omitted entirely.
    112 If GOTRACEBACK=1, the default behavior is used.
    113 If GOTRACEBACK=2, the per-goroutine stack traces include run-time functions.
    114 If GOTRACEBACK=crash, the per-goroutine stack traces include run-time functions,
    115 and if possible the program crashes in an operating-specific manner instead of
    116 exiting. For example, on Unix systems, the program raises SIGABRT to trigger a
    117 core dump.
    118 
    119 The GOARCH, GOOS, GOPATH, and GOROOT environment variables complete
    120 the set of Go environment variables. They influence the building of Go programs
    121 (see https://golang.org/cmd/go and https://golang.org/pkg/go/build).
    122 GOARCH, GOOS, and GOROOT are recorded at compile time and made available by
    123 constants or functions in this package, but they do not influence the execution
    124 of the run-time system.
