        package main

        import (

          "os"
          "os/exec"
          "strconv"
        )

        func main() {
 
          pid := os.Getpid()
          fmt.Printf("Process PID: %d \n", pid)

          prc := exec.Command("ps", "-p", strconv.Itoa(pid), "-v")
          out, err := prc.Output()
          if err != nil {
            panic(err)
          }

          fmt.Println(string(out))
        }
