A golang library to run a process with elevated privileges.
This library provides some easy wrappers for the Win32 ShellExecuteEx function to be executed with the runas "verb" (it will prompt the user, with a UAC dialog, to allow admin privileges).
The provided API, are just two, self-explanatory, functions:
// RunElevated starts the given process with elevated priviledges.
// An UAC prompt is displayed to the user to confirm the action.
func RunElevated(executable, workingDir string, args []string, awaitProcCompletion bool) (int, error)
and
// IsAdminProcess returns true if the current process already
// runs as admin.
func IsAdminProcess() (bool, error)
The same functions called from non-Windows OS, will return an "unimplemented function" error.
