the os package import a few other packages.

file, err := os.Open("file.go") // For read access.
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

// Open opens the named file for reading. If successful, methods on
// the returned file can be used for reading; the associated file
// descriptor has mode O_RDONLY.
// If there is an error, it will be of type *PathError.
func Open(name string) (*File, error) {
	return OpenFile(name, O_RDONLY, 0)
}
