Copy executable golang file to another folder - go

Question

I wonder if possible to copy running .exe file to another folder. I am trying to do this using usual copy approach in Go like that.
func copy(src, dst string) error {
in, err := os.Open(src)
if err != nil {
return err
}
defer in.Close()
out, err := os.Create(dst)
if err != nil {
return err
}
defer out.Close()
_, err = io.Copy(out, in)
if err != nil {
return err
}
return out.Close()
}
...
copyErr := copy(os.Args[0], "D:"+"\\"+"whs.exe")
if copyErr != nil {
log.Panicf("copy -> %v", copyErr)
}
The file copied with the same size but I can't open it correctly. I have only a fast cmd flash. After several milliseconds, cmd is closing and I can't see even any errors.
I was trying to write errors to log file but it's empty.
f, err := os.OpenFile("debug.log", os.O_RDWR|os.O_CREATE|os.O_APPEND, 0777)
if err != nil {
log.Panicf("setLogOutput -> %v", err)
}
defer f.Close()
log.SetOutput(f)
If I open not copied .exe file everything works correctly.
I've reduced my program to only one main method. The result was the same.
func main() {
log.Println("Starting...")
copyErr := copy(os.Args[0], "F:"+"\\"+"whs.exe")
if copyErr != nil {
log.Panicf("copy -> %v", copyErr)
}
os.Stdin.Read([]byte{0})
}

I have found an error.
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
I was trying to copy the .exe file to its own path.
func copy(src, dst string) error {
if _, err := os.Stat(dst); os.IsNotExist(err) {
in, err := os.Open(src)
if err != nil {
return err
}
defer in.Close()
out, err := os.Create(dst)
if err != nil {
return err
}
defer out.Close()
_, err = io.Copy(out, in)
if err != nil {
return err
}
}
return nil
}
