• None

Return Value:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of bytes.MinRead constant

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println("Value of bytes.MinRead:", bytes.MinRead)
	fmt.Printf("Type of bytes.MinRead: %T\n", bytes.MinRead)
}

Output:

Value of bytes.MinRead: 512
Type of bytes.MinRead: int

Example 2:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of bytes.MinRead constant

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

// creating function to return the
// value of MinRead.
func getMinRead() int {
	return bytes.MinRead
}

func main() {
	fmt.Println("Value of bytes.MinRead:", getMinRead())
}
