Get SSID/ other network information in golang

Question

How can I get the SSID and other network information in golang?

For example the network to which I am currently connected.

There does not seem to be a native Go command to do this. You might instead execute system-specific tools from within your Go code and check their output. Examples are

https://github.com/yelinaung/wifi-name (Linux and OS X)

or

List of available wireless networks with golang (under Linux)

or

https://github.com/skycoin/skycoin/tree/master/src/aether/wifi (Linux)

This seems to be the same for Java:
