+ UsageLine: "c",
+ Short: "calling between Go and C",
+ Long: `
+There are two different ways to call between Go and C/C++ code.
+
+The first is the cgo tool, which is part of the Go distribution. For
+information on how to use it see the cgo documentation (go doc cmd/cgo).
+
+The second is the SWIG program, which is a general tool for
+interfacing between languages. For information on SWIG see
+http://swig.org/. When running go build, any file with a .swig
+extension will be passed to SWIG. Any file with a .swigcxx extension
+will be passed to SWIG with the -c++ option.
+
+When either cgo or SWIG is used, go build will pass any .c, .m, .s, .S
+or .sx files to the C compiler, and any .cc, .cpp, .cxx files to the C++
+compiler. The CC or CXX environment variables may be set to determine
+the C or C++ compiler, respectively, to use.
+ `,
+}
+
+var HelpPackages = &base.Command{
+ UsageLine: "packages",
+ Short: "package lists and patterns",
+ Long: `
+Many commands apply to a set of packages:
+
+ go action [packages]
+
+Usually, [packages] is a list of import paths.
+
+An import path that is a rooted path or that begins with
+a . or .. element is interpreted as a file system path and
+denotes the package in that directory.
+
+Otherwise, the import path P denotes the package found in
+the directory DIR/src/P for some DIR listed in the GOPATH
+environment variable (For more details see: 'go help gopath').
+
+If no import paths are given, the action applies to the
+package in the current directory.
+
+There are four reserved names for paths that should not be used
+for packages to be built with the go tool:
+
+- "main" denotes the top-level package in a stand-alone executable.
+
+- "all" expands to all packages found in all the GOPATH
+trees. For example, 'go list all' lists all the packages on the local
+system. When using modules, "all" expands to all packages in
+the main module and their dependencies, including dependencies
+needed by tests of any of those.
+
+- "std" is like all but expands to just the packages in the standard
+Go library.
+
+- "cmd" expands to the Go repository's commands and their
+internal libraries.
+
+Import paths beginning with "cmd/" only match source code in
+the Go repository.
+
+An import path is a pattern if it includes one or more "..." wildcards,
+each of which can match any string, including the empty string and
+strings containing slashes. Such a pattern expands to all package
+directories found in the GOPATH trees with names matching the
+patterns.
+
+To make common patterns more convenient, there are two special cases.
+First, /... at the end of the pattern can match an empty string,
+so that net/... matches both net and packages in its subdirectories, like net/http.
+Second, any slash-separated pattern element containing a wildcard never
+participates in a match of the "vendor" element in the path of a vendored
+package, so that ./... does not match packages in subdirectories of
+./vendor or ./mycode/vendor, but ./vendor/... and ./mycode/vendor/... do.
+Note, however, that a directory named vendor that itself contains code
+is not a vendored package: cmd/vendor would be a command named vendor,
+and the pattern cmd/... matches it.
+See golang.org/s/go15vendor for more about vendoring.
+
+An import path can also name a package to be downloaded from
+a remote repository. Run 'go help importpath' for details.
+
+Every package in a program must have a unique import path.
+By convention, this is arranged by starting each path with a
+unique prefix that belongs to you. For example, paths used
+internally at Google all begin with 'google', and paths
+denoting remote repositories begin with the path to the code,
+such as 'github.com/user/repo'.
+
+Packages in a program need not have unique package names,
+but there are two reserved package names with special meaning.
+The name main indicates a command, not a library.
+Commands are built into binaries and cannot be imported.
+The name documentation indicates documentation for
+a non-Go program in the directory. Files in package documentation
+are ignored by the go command.
+
+As a special case, if the package list is a list of .go files from a
+single directory, the command is applied to a single synthesized
+package made up of exactly those files, ignoring any build constraints
+in those files and ignoring any other files in the directory.
+
+Directory and file names that begin with "." or "_" are ignored
+by the go tool, as are directories named "testdata".
+ `,
+}
+
+var HelpImportPath = &base.Command{
+ UsageLine: "importpath",
+ Short: "import path syntax",
+ Long: `
+
+An import path (see 'go help packages') denotes a package stored in the local
+file system. In general, an import path denotes either a standard package (such
+as "unicode/utf8") or a package found in one of the work spaces (For more
+details see: 'go help gopath').
+
+Relative import paths
+
+An import path beginning with ./ or ../ is called a relative path.
+The toolchain supports relative import paths as a shortcut in two ways.
+
+First, a relative path can be used as a shorthand on the command line.
+If you are working in the directory containing the code imported as
+"unicode" and want to run the tests for "unicode/utf8", you can type
+"go test ./utf8" instead of needing to specify the full path.
+Similarly, in the reverse situation, "go test .." will test "unicode" from
+the "unicode/utf8" directory. Relative patterns are also allowed, like
+"go test ./..." to test all subdirectories. See 'go help packages' for details
+on the pattern syntax.
+
+Second, if you are compiling a Go program not in a work space,
+you can use a relative path in an import statement in that program
+to refer to nearby code also not in a work space.
+This makes it easy to experiment with small multipackage programs
+outside of the usual work spaces, but such programs cannot be
+installed with "go install" (there is no work space in which to install them),
+so they are rebuilt from scratch each time they are built.
+To avoid ambiguity, Go programs cannot use relative import paths
+within a work space.
+
+Remote import paths
+
+Certain import paths also
+describe how to obtain the source code for the package using
+a revision control system.
+
+A few common code hosting sites have special syntax:
+
+ Bitbucket (Git, Mercurial)
+
+ import "bitbucket.org/user/project"
+ import "bitbucket.org/user/project/sub/directory"
+
+ GitHub (Git)
+
+ import "github.com/user/project"
+ import "github.com/user/project/sub/directory"
+
+ Launchpad (Bazaar)
+
+ import "launchpad.net/project"
+ import "launchpad.net/project/series"
+ import "launchpad.net/project/series/sub/directory"
+
+ import "launchpad.net/~user/project/branch"
+ import "launchpad.net/~user/project/branch/sub/directory"
+
+ IBM DevOps Services (Git)
+
+ import "hub.jazz.net/git/user/project"
+ import "hub.jazz.net/git/user/project/sub/directory"
+
+For code hosted on other servers, import paths may either be qualified
+with the version control type, or the go tool can dynamically fetch
+the import path over https/http and discover where the code resides
+from a <meta> tag in the HTML.
+
+To declare the code location, an import path of the form
+
+ repository.vcs/path
+
+specifies the given repository, with or without the .vcs suffix,
+using the named version control system, and then the path inside
+that repository. The supported version control systems are:
+
+ Bazaar .bzr
+ Fossil .fossil
+ Git .git
+ Mercurial .hg
+ Subversion .svn
+
+For example,
+
+ import "example.org/user/foo.hg"
+
+denotes the root directory of the Mercurial repository at
+example.org/user/foo or foo.hg, and
+
+ import "example.org/repo.git/foo/bar"
+
+denotes the foo/bar directory of the Git repository at
+example.org/repo or repo.git.
+
+When a version control system supports multiple protocols,
+each is tried in turn when downloading. For example, a Git
+download tries https://, then git+ssh://.
+
+By default, downloads are restricted to known secure protocols
+(e.g. https, ssh). To override this setting for Git downloads, the
+GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL environment variable can be set (For more details see:
+'go help environment').
+
+If the import path is not a known code hosting site and also lacks a
+version control qualifier, the go tool attempts to fetch the import
+over https/http and looks for a <meta> tag in the document's HTML
+<head>.
+
+The meta tag has the form:
+
+ <meta name="go-import" content="import-prefix vcs repo-root">
+
+The import-prefix is the import path corresponding to the repository
+root. It must be a prefix or an exact match of the package being
+fetched with "go get". If it's not an exact match, another http
+request is made at the prefix to verify the <meta> tags match.
+
+The meta tag should appear as early in the file as possible.
+In particular, it should appear before any raw JavaScript or CSS,
+to avoid confusing the go command's restricted parser.
+
+The vcs is one of "bzr", "fossil", "git", "hg", "svn".
+
+The repo-root is the root of the version control system
+containing a scheme and not containing a .vcs qualifier.
+
+For example,
+
+ import "example.org/pkg/foo"
+
+will result in the following requests:
+
+ https://example.org/pkg/foo?go-get=1 (preferred)
+ http://example.org/pkg/foo?go-get=1 (fallback, only with -insecure)
+
+If that page contains the meta tag
+
+ <meta name="go-import" content="example.org git https://code.org/r/p/exproj">
+
+the go tool will verify that https://example.org/?go-get=1 contains the
+same meta tag and then git clone https://code.org/r/p/exproj into
+GOPATH/src/example.org.
+
+When using GOPATH, downloaded packages are written to the first directory
+listed in the GOPATH environment variable.
+(See 'go help gopath-get' and 'go help gopath'.)
+
+When using modules, downloaded packages are stored in the module cache.
+See https://golang.org/ref/mod#module-cache.
+
+When using modules, an additional variant of the go-import meta tag is
+recognized and is preferred over those listing version control systems.
+That variant uses "mod" as the vcs in the content value, as in:
+
+ <meta name="go-import" content="example.org mod https://code.org/moduleproxy">
+
+This tag means to fetch modules with paths beginning with example.org
+from the module proxy available at the URL https://code.org/moduleproxy.
+See https://golang.org/ref/mod#goproxy-protocol for details about the
+proxy protocol.
+
+Import path checking
+
+When the custom import path feature described above redirects to a
+known code hosting site, each of the resulting packages has two possible
+import paths, using the custom domain or the known hosting site.
+
+A package statement is said to have an "import comment" if it is immediately
+followed (before the next newline) by a comment of one of these two forms:
+
+ package math // import "path"
+ package math /* import "path" */
+
+The go command will refuse to install a package with an import comment
+unless it is being referred to by that import path. In this way, import comments
+let package authors make sure the custom import path is used and not a
+direct path to the underlying code hosting site.
+
+Import path checking is disabled for code found within vendor trees.
+This makes it possible to copy code into alternate locations in vendor trees
+without needing to update import comments.
+
+Import path checking is also disabled when using modules.
+Import path comments are obsoleted by the go.mod file's module statement.
+
+See https://golang.org/s/go14customimport for details.
+ `,
+}
+
+var HelpGopath = &base.Command{
+ UsageLine: "gopath",
+ Short: "GOPATH environment variable",
+ Long: `
+The Go path is used to resolve import statements.
+It is implemented by and documented in the go/build package.
+
+The GOPATH environment variable lists places to look for Go code.
+On Unix, the value is a colon-separated string.
+On Windows, the value is a semicolon-separated string.
+On Plan 9, the value is a list.
+
+If the environment variable is unset, GOPATH defaults
+to a subdirectory named "go" in the user's home directory
+($HOME/go on Unix, %USERPROFILE%\go on Windows),
+unless that directory holds a Go distribution.
+Run "go env GOPATH" to see the current GOPATH.
+
+See https://golang.org/wiki/SettingGOPATH to set a custom GOPATH.
+
+Each directory listed in GOPATH must have a prescribed structure:
+
+The src directory holds source code. The path below src
+determines the import path or executable name.
+
+The pkg directory holds installed package objects.
+As in the Go tree, each target operating system and
+architecture pair has its own subdirectory of pkg
+(pkg/GOOS_GOARCH).
+
+If DIR is a directory listed in the GOPATH, a package with
+source in DIR/src/foo/bar can be imported as "foo/bar" and
+has its compiled form installed to "DIR/pkg/GOOS_GOARCH/foo/bar.a".
+
+The bin directory holds compiled commands.
+Each command is named for its source directory, but only
+the final element, not the entire path. That is, the
+command with source in DIR/src/foo/quux is installed into
+DIR/bin/quux, not DIR/bin/foo/quux. The "foo/" prefix is stripped
+so that you can add DIR/bin to your PATH to get at the
+installed commands. If the GOBIN environment variable is
+set, commands are installed to the directory it names instead
+of DIR/bin. GOBIN must be an absolute path.
+
+Here's an example directory layout:
+
+ GOPATH=/home/user/go
+
+ /home/user/go/
+ src/
+ foo/
+ bar/ (go code in package bar)
+ x.go
+ quux/ (go code in package main)
+ y.go
+ bin/
+ quux (installed command)
+ pkg/
+ linux_amd64/
+ foo/
+ bar.a (installed package object)
+
+Go searches each directory listed in GOPATH to find source code,
+but new packages are always downloaded into the first directory
+in the list.
+
+See https://golang.org/doc/code.html for an example.
+
+GOPATH and Modules
+
+When using modules, GOPATH is no longer used for resolving imports.
+However, it is still used to store downloaded source code (in GOPATH/pkg/mod)
+and compiled commands (in GOPATH/bin).
+
+Internal Directories
+
+Code in or below a directory named "internal" is importable only
+by code in the directory tree rooted at the parent of "internal".
+Here's an extended version of the directory layout above:
+
+ /home/user/go/
+ src/
+ crash/
+ bang/ (go code in package bang)
+ b.go
+ foo/ (go code in package foo)
+ f.go
+ bar/ (go code in package bar)
+ x.go
+ internal/
+ baz/ (go code in package baz)
+ z.go
+ quux/ (go code in package main)
+ y.go
+
+
+The code in z.go is imported as "foo/internal/baz", but that
+import statement can only appear in source files in the subtree
+rooted at foo. The source files foo/f.go, foo/bar/x.go, and
+foo/quux/y.go can all import "foo/internal/baz", but the source file
+crash/bang/b.go cannot.
+
+See https://golang.org/s/go14internal for details.
+
+Vendor Directories
+
+Go 1.6 includes support for using local copies of external dependencies
+to satisfy imports of those dependencies, often referred to as vendoring.
+
+Code below a directory named "vendor" is importable only
+by code in the directory tree rooted at the parent of "vendor",
+and only using an import path that omits the prefix up to and
+including the vendor element.
+
+Here's the example from the previous section,
+but with the "internal" directory renamed to "vendor"
+and a new foo/vendor/crash/bang directory added:
+
+ /home/user/go/
+ src/
+ crash/
+ bang/ (go code in package bang)
+ b.go
+ foo/ (go code in package foo)
+ f.go
+ bar/ (go code in package bar)
+ x.go
+ vendor/
+ crash/
+ bang/ (go code in package bang)
+ b.go
+ baz/ (go code in package baz)
+ z.go
+ quux/ (go code in package main)
+ y.go
+
+The same visibility rules apply as for internal, but the code
+in z.go is imported as "baz", not as "foo/vendor/baz".
+
+Code in vendor directories deeper in the source tree shadows
+code in higher directories. Within the subtree rooted at foo, an import
+of "crash/bang" resolves to "foo/vendor/crash/bang", not the
+top-level "crash/bang".
+
+Code in vendor directories is not subject to import path
+checking (see 'go help importpath').
+
+When 'go get' checks out or updates a git repository, it now also
+updates submodules.
+
+Vendor directories do not affect the placement of new repositories
+being checked out for the first time by 'go get': those are always
+placed in the main GOPATH, never in a vendor subtree.
+
+See https://golang.org/s/go15vendor for details.

+The 'go build' and 'go install' commands take a -buildmode argument which

+ -buildmode=archive
+ Build the listed non-main packages into .a files. Packages named
+ main are ignored.
+
+ -buildmode=c-archive
+ Build the listed main package, plus all packages it imports,
+ into a C archive file. The only callable symbols will be those
+ functions exported using a cgo //export comment. Requires
+ exactly one main package to be listed.
+
+ -buildmode=c-shared
+ Build the listed main package, plus all packages it imports,
+ into a C shared library. The only callable symbols will
+ be those functions exported using a cgo //export comment.
+ Requires exactly one main package to be listed.
+
+ -buildmode=default
+ Listed main packages are built into executables and listed
+ non-main packages are built into .a files (the default
+ behavior).
+
+ -buildmode=shared
+ Combine all the listed non-main packages into a single shared
+ library that will be used when building with the -linkshared

+ -buildmode=exe
+ Build the listed main packages and everything they import into

+ Build the listed main packages, plus all packages that they
+ import, into a Go plugin. Packages not named main are ignored.

+The go command caches build outputs for reuse in future builds.
+The default location for cache data is a subdirectory named go-build
+in the standard user cache directory for the current operating system.
+Setting the GOCACHE environment variable overrides this default,
+and running 'go env GOCACHE' prints the current cache directory.
+
+The go command periodically deletes cached data that has not been
+used recently. Running 'go clean -cache' deletes all cached data.
+
+The build cache correctly accounts for changes to Go source files,
+compilers, compiler options, and so on: cleaning the cache explicitly
+should not be necessary in typical use. However, the build cache
+does not detect changes to C libraries imported with cgo.
+If you have made changes to the C libraries on your system, you
+will need to clean the cache explicitly or else use the -a build flag
+(see 'go help build') to force rebuilding of packages that
+depend on the updated C libraries.
+
+The go command also caches successful package test results.
+See 'go help test' for details. Running 'go clean -testcache' removes
+all cached test results (but not cached build results).
+
+The GODEBUG environment variable can enable printing of debugging
+information about the state of the cache:
+
+GODEBUG=gocacheverify=1 causes the go command to bypass the
+use of any cache entries and instead rebuild everything and check
+that the results match existing cache entries.
+
+GODEBUG=gocachehash=1 causes the go command to print the inputs
+for all of the content hashes it uses to construct cache lookup keys.
+The output is voluminous but can be useful for debugging the cache.
+
+GODEBUG=gocachetest=1 causes the go command to print details of its
+decisions about whether to reuse a cached test result.

+var HelpBuildConstraint = &base.Command{
+ UsageLine: "buildconstraint",
+ Short: "build constraints",
+ Long: `
+A build constraint, also known as a build tag, is a line comment that begins
+
+ // +build
+
+that lists the conditions under which a file should be included in the package.
+Constraints may appear in any kind of source file (not just Go), but
+they must appear near the top of the file, preceded
+only by blank lines and other line comments. These rules mean that in Go
+files a build constraint must appear before the package clause.
+
+To distinguish build constraints from package documentation, a series of
+build constraints must be followed by a blank line.
+
+A build constraint is evaluated as the OR of space-separated options.
+Each option evaluates as the AND of its comma-separated terms.
+Each term consists of letters, digits, underscores, and dots.
+A term may be negated with a preceding !.
+For example, the build constraint:
+
+ // +build linux,386 darwin,!cgo
+
+corresponds to the boolean formula:
+
+ (linux AND 386) OR (darwin AND (NOT cgo))
+
+A file may have multiple build constraints. The overall constraint is the AND
+of the individual constraints. That is, the build constraints:
+
+ // +build linux darwin
+ // +build amd64
+
+corresponds to the boolean formula:
+
+ (linux OR darwin) AND amd64
+
+During a particular build, the following words are satisfied:
+
+ - the target operating system, as spelled by runtime.GOOS, set with the
+ GOOS environment variable.
+ - the target architecture, as spelled by runtime.GOARCH, set with the
+ GOARCH environment variable.
+ - the compiler being used, either "gc" or "gccgo"
+ - "cgo", if the cgo command is supported (see CGO_ENABLED in
+ 'go help environment').
+ - a term for each Go major release, through the current version:
+ "go1.1" from Go version 1.1 onward, "go1.12" from Go 1.12, and so on.
+ - any additional tags given by the -tags flag (see 'go help build').
+
+There are no separate build tags for beta or minor releases.
+
+If a file's name, after stripping the extension and a possible _test suffix,
+matches any of the following patterns:
+ *_GOOS
+ *_GOARCH
+ *_GOOS_GOARCH
+(example: source_windows_amd64.go) where GOOS and GOARCH represent
+any known operating system and architecture values respectively, then
+the file is considered to have an implicit build constraint requiring
+those terms (in addition to any explicit constraints in the file).
+
+Using GOOS=android matches build tags and files as for GOOS=linux
+in addition to android tags and files.
+
+Using GOOS=illumos matches build tags and files as for GOOS=solaris
+in addition to illumos tags and files.
+
+Using GOOS=ios matches build tags and files as for GOOS=darwin
+in addition to ios tags and files.
+
+To keep a file from being considered for the build:
+
+ // +build ignore
+
+(any other unsatisfied word will work as well, but "ignore" is conventional.)
+
+To build a file only when using cgo, and only on Linux and OS X:
+
+ // +build linux,cgo darwin,cgo
+
+Such a file is usually paired with another file implementing the
+default functionality for other systems, which in this case would
+carry the constraint:
+
+ // +build !linux,!darwin !cgo
+
+Naming a file dns_windows.go will cause it to be included only when
+building the package for Windows; similarly, math_386.s will be included
+only when building the package for 32-bit x86.
