// The expvar package provides a standardized interface to public variables,
// such as operation counters in servers. It exposes these variables via
// HTTP at /debug/vars in JSON format.
//
// In addition to adding the HTTP handler, this package registers the
// following variables:
//
//	cmdline   os.Args
//	memstats  runtime.Memstats
//
// The package is sometimes only imported for the side effect of
// registering its HTTP handler and the above variables.  To use it
// this way, simply link this package into your program:
//	import _ "expvar"
//
package expvar
