What did you do?

Just read it

What did you see happen?

var (
	Stdin  = 0
	Stdout = 1
	Stderr = 2
)

Is stated to be each value. However, in Windows instead each value is a handle(determined at compile time).

What did you expect to see?

Further clarification that in Windows it is a Handle and not a file descriptor. For example

var (
	Stdin  = getStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE)
	Stdout = getStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE)
	Stderr = getStdHandle(STD_ERROR_HANDLE)
)

STD_INPUT_HANDLE, STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE, and STD_ERROR_HANDLE correspond to -10, -11, and -12 respectively as defined here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/getstdhandle as is getStdHandle

At the top of the page, you can see a drop-down labeled "Rendered for", which defaults to "linux/amd64". If you change that to "windows/amd64" then you will see the expected documentation. https://pkg.go.dev/syscall?GOOS=windows#pkg-variables
