Terminating the program with a specified exit code in Golang

In this program, we will use the Exit() function of the "os" package to terminate the program with a specified exit code.

Golang code to terminate the program with a specified exit code

The source code to terminate the program with a specified exit code is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

// Golang program to terminate the program
// with a specified exit code

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println("Hello World")
	os.Exit(5)
}

Output

Hello World

Explanation

In the above program, we declare the package main. The main package is used to tell the Go language compiler that the package must be compiled and produced the executable file. Here, we imported the fmt package to formatting related functions. Here, we also imported the "os" package to use the Exit() function.

In the main() function, we print the "Hello World" message and then terminate the program with a specified exit code using the Exit() function. Here we terminate the program with exit code 5.
