+.SH NAME
+go-list \- list packages or modules
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B go list
+.RB [ \-f
+.IR format ]
+.RB [ \-json ]
+.RB [ \-m ]
+.RI [ "list flags" ]
+.RI [ "build flags" ]
+.RI [ packages ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+List lists the packages named by the import paths, one per line.
+.br
+The most commonly-used flags are \-f and \-json, which control the form
+of the output printed for each package. Other list flags, documented below,
+control more specific details.
+.P
+The default output shows the package import path:
+
+.Vb 6
+\& bytes
+\& encoding/json
+\& github.com/gorilla/mux
+\& golang.org/x/net/html
+.Ve
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-f
+The \-f flag specifies an alternate format for the list, using the
+syntax of package template. The default output is equivalent
+to \-f '{{.ImportPath}}'. The struct being passed to the template is:
+
+.Vb 6
+\& type Package struct {
+\& Dir string // directory containing package sources
+\& ImportPath string // import path of package in dir
+\& ImportComment string // path in import comment on package statement
+\& Name string // package name
+\& Doc string // package documentation string
+\& Target string // install path
+\& Shlib string // the shared library that contains this package (only set when -linkshared)
+\& Goroot bool // is this package in the Go root?
+\& Standard bool // is this package part of the standard Go library?
+\& Stale bool // would 'go install' do anything for this package?
+\& StaleReason string // explanation for Stale==true
+\& Root string // Go root or Go path dir containing this package
+\& ConflictDir string // this directory shadows Dir in $GOPATH
+\& BinaryOnly bool // binary-only package (no longer supported)
+\& ForTest string // package is only for use in named test
+\& Export string // file containing export data (when using -export)
+\& BuildID string // build ID of the compiled package (when using -export)
+\& Module *Module // info about package's containing module, if any (can be nil)
+\& Match []string // command-line patterns matching this package
+\& DepOnly bool // package is only a dependency, not explicitly listed
+\&
+\& // Source files
+\& GoFiles []string // .go source files (excluding CgoFiles, TestGoFiles, XTestGoFiles)
+\& CgoFiles []string // .go source files that import "C"
+\& CompiledGoFiles []string // .go files presented to compiler (when using -compiled)
+\& IgnoredGoFiles []string // .go source files ignored due to build constraints
+\& IgnoredOtherFiles []string // non-.go source files ignored due to build constraints
+\& CFiles []string // .c source files
+\& CXXFiles []string // .cc, .cxx and .cpp source files
+\& MFiles []string // .m source files
+\& HFiles []string // .h, .hh, .hpp and .hxx source files
+\& FFiles []string // .f, .F, .for and .f90 Fortran source files
+\& SFiles []string // .s source files
+\& SwigFiles []string // .swig files
+\& SwigCXXFiles []string // .swigcxx files
+\& SysoFiles []string // .syso object files to add to archive
+\& TestGoFiles []string // _test.go files in package
+\& XTestGoFiles []string // _test.go files outside package
+\&
+\& // Embedded files
+\& EmbedPatterns []string // //go:embed patterns
+\& EmbedFiles []string // files matched by EmbedPatterns
+\& TestEmbedPatterns []string // //go:embed patterns in TestGoFiles
+\& TestEmbedFiles []string // files matched by TestEmbedPatterns
+\& XTestEmbedPatterns []string // //go:embed patterns in XTestGoFiles
+\& XTestEmbedFiles []string // files matched by XTestEmbedPatterns
+\&
+\& // Cgo directives
+\& CgoCFLAGS []string // cgo: flags for C compiler
+\& CgoCPPFLAGS []string // cgo: flags for C preprocessor
+\& CgoCXXFLAGS []string // cgo: flags for C++ compiler
+\& CgoFFLAGS []string // cgo: flags for Fortran compiler
+\& CgoLDFLAGS []string // cgo: flags for linker
+\& CgoPkgConfig []string // cgo: pkg-config names
+\&
+\& // Dependency information
+\& Imports []string // import paths used by this package
+\& ImportMap map[string]string // map from source import to ImportPath (identity entries omitted)
+\& Deps []string // all (recursively) imported dependencies
+\& TestImports []string // imports from TestGoFiles
+\& XTestImports []string // imports from XTestGoFiles
+\&
+\& // Error information
+\& Incomplete bool // this package or a dependency has an error
+\& Error *PackageError // error loading package
+\& DepsErrors []*PackageError // errors loading dependencies
+\& }
+.Ve
+
+Packages stored in vendor directories report an ImportPath that includes the
+path to the vendor directory (for example, "d/vendor/p" instead of "p"),
+so that the ImportPath uniquely identifies a given copy of a package.
+The Imports, Deps, TestImports, and XTestImports lists also contain these
+expanded import paths. See golang.org/s/go15vendor for more about vendoring.
+
+The error information, if any, is
+
+.Vb 6
+\& type PackageError struct {
+\& ImportStack []string // shortest path from package named on command line to this one
+\& Pos string // position of error (if present, file:line:col)
+\& Err string // the error itself
+\& }
+.Ve
+
+The module information is a Module struct, defined in the discussion
+of list \-m below.
+
+The template function "join" calls strings.Join.
+
+The template function "context" returns the build context, defined as:
+
+.Vb 6
+\& type Context struct {
+\& GOARCH string // target architecture
+\& GOOS string // target operating system
+\& GOROOT string // Go root
+\& GOPATH string // Go path
+\& CgoEnabled bool // whether cgo can be used
+\& UseAllFiles bool // use files regardless of +build lines, file names
+\& Compiler string // compiler to assume when computing target paths
+\& BuildTags []string // build constraints to match in +build lines
+\& ToolTags []string // toolchain-specific build constraints
+\& ReleaseTags []string // releases the current release is compatible with
+\& InstallSuffix string // suffix to use in the name of the install dir
+\& }
+.Ve
+
+For more information about the meaning of these fields see the documentation
+for the go/build package's Context type.
+.TP
+.B \-json
+The \-json flag causes the package data to be printed in JSON format
+instead of using the template format. The JSON flag can optionally be
+provided with a set of comma-separated required field names to be output.
+If so, those required fields will always appear in JSON output, but
+others may be omitted to save work in computing the JSON struct.
+.TP
+.B \-compiled
+The \-compiled flag causes list to set CompiledGoFiles to the Go source
+files presented to the compiler. Typically this means that it repeats
+the files listed in GoFiles and then also adds the Go code generated
+by processing CgoFiles and SwigFiles. The Imports list contains the
+union of all imports from both GoFiles and CompiledGoFiles.
+.TP
+.B \-deps
+The \-deps flag causes list to iterate over not just the named packages
+but also all their dependencies. It visits them in a depth-first post-order
+traversal, so that a package is listed only after all its dependencies.
+Packages not explicitly listed on the command line will have the DepOnly
+field set to true.
+.TP
+.B \-e
+The \-e flag changes the handling of erroneous packages, those that
+cannot be found or are malformed. By default, the list command
+prints an error to standard error for each erroneous package and
+omits the packages from consideration during the usual printing.
+With the \-e flag, the list command never prints errors to standard
+error and instead processes the erroneous packages with the usual
+printing. Erroneous packages will have a non-empty ImportPath and
+a non-nil Error field; other information may or may not be missing
+(zeroed).
+.TP
+.B \-export
+The \-export flag causes list to set the Export field to the name of a
+file containing up-to-date export information for the given package,
+and the BuildID field to the build ID of the compiled package.
+.TP
+.B \-find
+The \-find flag causes list to identify the named packages but not
+resolve their dependencies: the Imports and Deps lists will be empty.
+.TP
+.B \-test
+The \-test flag causes list to report not only the named packages
+but also their test binaries (for packages with tests), to convey to
+source code analysis tools exactly how test binaries are constructed.
+The reported import path for a test binary is the import path of
+the package followed by a ".test" suffix, as in "math/rand.test".
+When building a test, it is sometimes necessary to rebuild certain
+dependencies specially for that test (most commonly the tested
+package itself). The reported import path of a package recompiled
+for a particular test binary is followed by a space and the name of
+the test binary in brackets, as in "math/rand [math/rand.test]"
+or "regexp [sort.test]". The ForTest field is also set to the name
+of the package being tested ("math/rand" or "sort" in the previous
+examples).
+.P
+The Dir, Target, Shlib, Root, ConflictDir, and Export file paths
+are all absolute paths.
+.P
+By default, the lists GoFiles, CgoFiles, and so on hold names of files in Dir
+(that is, paths relative to Dir, not absolute paths).
+The generated files added when using the \-compiled and \-test flags
+are absolute paths referring to cached copies of generated Go source files.
+Although they are Go source files, the paths may not end in ".go".
+.TP
+.B \-m
+The \-m flag causes list to list modules instead of packages.
+
+When listing modules, the \-f flag still specifies a format template
+applied to a Go struct, but now a Module struct:
+
+.Vb 6
+\& type Module struct {
+\& Path string // module path
+\& Query string // version query corresponding to this version
+\& Version string // module version
+\& Versions []string // available module versions
+\& Replace *Module // replaced by this module
+\& Time *time.Time // time version was created
+\& Update *Module // available update (with -u)
+\& Main bool // is this the main module?
+\& Indirect bool // module is only indirectly needed by main module
+\& Dir string // directory holding local copy of files, if any
+\& GoMod string // path to go.mod file describing module, if any
+\& GoVersion string // go version used in module
+\& Retracted []string // retraction information, if any (with -retracted or -u)
+\& Deprecated string // deprecation message, if any (with -u)
+\& Error *ModuleError // error loading module
+\& Origin any // provenance of module
+\& Reuse bool // reuse of old module info is safe
+\& }
+\&
+\& type ModuleError struct {
+\& Err string // the error itself
+\& }
+.Ve
+
+The file GoMod refers to may be outside the module directory if the
+module is in the module cache or if the \-modfile flag is used.
+
+The default output is to print the module path and then
+information about the version and replacement if any.
+For example, 'go list \-m all' might print:
+
+.Vb 6
+\& my/main/module
+\& golang.org/x/text v0.3.0 => /tmp/text
+\& rsc.io/pdf v0.1.1
+.Ve
+
+The Module struct has a String method that formats this
+line of output, so that the default format is equivalent
+to \-f '{{.String}}'.
+
+Note that when a module has been replaced, its Replace field
+describes the replacement module, and its Dir field is set to
+the replacement's source code, if present. (That is, if Replace
+is non-nil, then Dir is set to Replace.Dir, with no access to
+the replaced source code.)
+.TP
+.B \-u
+The \-u flag adds information about available upgrades.
+When the latest version of a given module is newer than
+the current one, list \-u sets the Module's Update field
+to information about the newer module. list \-u will also set
+the module's Retracted field if the current version is retracted.
+The Module's String method indicates an available upgrade by
+formatting the newer version in brackets after the current version.
+If a version is retracted, the string "(retracted)" will follow it.
+For example, 'go list \-m \-u all' might print:
+
+.Vb 6
+\& my/main/module
+\& golang.org/x/text v0.3.0 [v0.4.0] => /tmp/text
+\& rsc.io/pdf v0.1.1 (retracted) [v0.1.2]
+.Ve
+
+(For tools, 'go list \-m \-u \-json all' may be more convenient to parse.)
+.TP
+.B \-versions
+The \-versions flag causes list to set the Module's Versions field
+to a list of all known versions of that module, ordered according
+to semantic versioning, earliest to latest. The flag also changes
+the default output format to display the module path followed by the
+space-separated version list.
+.TP
+.B \-retracted
+The \-retracted flag causes list to report information about retracted
+module versions. When \-retracted is used with \-f or \-json, the Retracted
+field will be set to a string explaining why the version was retracted.
+The string is taken from comments on the retract directive in the
+module's go.mod file. When \-retracted is used with \-versions, retracted
+versions are listed together with unretracted versions. The \-retracted
+flag may be used with or without \-m.
+.P
+The arguments to list \-m are interpreted as a list of modules, not packages.
+The main module is the module containing the current directory.
+The active modules are the main module and its dependencies.
+With no arguments, list \-m shows the main module.
+With arguments, list \-m shows the modules specified by the arguments.
+Any of the active modules can be specified by its module path.
+The special pattern "all" specifies all the active modules, first the main
+module and then dependencies sorted by module path.
+A pattern containing "..." specifies the active modules whose
+module paths match the pattern.
+A query of the form path@version specifies the result of that query,
+which is not limited to active modules.
+See 'go help modules' for more about module queries.
+.P
+The template function "module" takes a single string argument
+that must be a module path or query and returns the specified
+module as a Module struct. If an error occurs, the result will
+be a Module struct with a non-nil Error field.
+.P
+When using \-m, the \-reuse=old.json flag accepts the name of file containing
+the JSON output of a previous \(oqgo list \-m \-json\(cq invocation with the
+same set of modifier flags (such as \-u, \-retracted, and \-versions).
+The go command may use this file to determine that a module is unchanged
+since the previous invocation and avoid redownloading information about it.
+Modules that are not redownloaded will be marked in the new output by
+setting the Reuse field to true. Normally the module cache provides this
+kind of reuse automatically; the \-reuse flag can be useful on systems that
+do not preserve the module cache.
