Reads of memory locations larger than a single machine word
are encouraged but not required to meet the same semantics
as word-sized memory locations,
observing a single allowed write <i>w</i>.
For performance reasons,
implementations may instead treat larger operations
as a set of individual machine-word-sized operations
in an unspecified order.

      However, some non-deprecated functionality requires use of the <code>syscall</code> package, such as the <a href="/pkg/os/exec#Cmd"><code>os/exec.Cmd.SysProcAttr</code></a> field.
      To avoid unnecessary complaints on such code, the <code>syscall</code> package is no longer marked as deprecated.

If both <code>n</code> and <code>m</code> are provided and are constant, then
<code>n</code> must be no larger than <code>m</code>.
For slices and channels, if <code>n</code> is negative or larger than <code>m</code> at run time,
a <a href="#Run_time_panics">run-time panic</a> occurs.
