In this program, we will set the value of the specified environment variable using os.Setenv() function. The os.Setenv() function returns an error if we pass the wrong parameters.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to set the value of the environment variable is given below. The given program is compiled and executed on the ubuntu 18.04 operating system successfully.

// Golang program to set the value of
// the environment variable

package main

import "fmt"
import "os"

func main() {
	err := os.Setenv("City", "New Delhi")

	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Println("City: ", os.Getenv("City"))
}

Output:

City:  New Delhi

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 use the Printf() function and we also imported the "os" package to use the Setenv() function.

In the main() function, we set the value of the City environment variable using Setenv() function and got the value of the environment using Getenv() function, and printed it on the console screen.
