func main() {
	if err := bgo.InitBrowsCap("browscap.ini", false); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	
	browser, ok := bgo.GetBrowser("Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/37.0.2062.120 Safari/537.36")
	if !ok || browser == nil {
    	panic("Browser not found")
	} else {
    	fmt.Printf("Browser = %s [%s] v%s\n", browser.Browser, browser.BrowserType, browser.BrowserVersion)
    	fmt.Printf("Platform = %s v%s\n", browser.Platform, browser.PlatformVersion)
    	fmt.Printf("Device = %s [%s] %s\n", browser.DeviceName, browser.DeviceType, browser.DeviceBrand)
