+var CmdDoc = &base.Command{
+ Run: runDoc,
+ UsageLine: "go doc [doc flags] [package|[package.]symbol[.methodOrField]]",
+ CustomFlags: true,
+ Short: "show documentation for package or symbol",
+ Long: `
+Doc prints the documentation comments associated with the item identified by its
+arguments (a package, const, func, type, var, method, or struct field)
+followed by a one-line summary of each of the first-level items "under"
+that item (package-level declarations for a package, methods for a type,
+etc.).
+
+Doc accepts zero, one, or two arguments.
+
+Given no arguments, that is, when run as
+
+ go doc
+
+it prints the package documentation for the package in the current directory.
+If the package is a command (package main), the exported symbols of the package
+are elided from the presentation unless the -cmd flag is provided.
+
+When run with one argument, the argument is treated as a Go-syntax-like
+representation of the item to be documented. What the argument selects depends
+on what is installed in GOROOT and GOPATH, as well as the form of the argument,
+which is schematically one of these:
+
+ go doc <pkg>
+ go doc <sym>[.<methodOrField>]
+ go doc [<pkg>.]<sym>[.<methodOrField>]
+ go doc [<pkg>.][<sym>.]<methodOrField>
+
+The first item in this list matched by the argument is the one whose documentation
+is printed. (See the examples below.) However, if the argument starts with a capital
+letter it is assumed to identify a symbol or method in the current directory.
+
+For packages, the order of scanning is determined lexically in breadth-first order.
+That is, the package presented is the one that matches the search and is nearest
+the root and lexically first at its level of the hierarchy. The GOROOT tree is
+always scanned in its entirety before GOPATH.
+
+If there is no package specified or matched, the package in the current
+directory is selected, so "go doc Foo" shows the documentation for symbol Foo in
+the current package.
+
+The package path must be either a qualified path or a proper suffix of a
+path. The go tool's usual package mechanism does not apply: package path
+elements like . and ... are not implemented by go doc.
+
+When run with two arguments, the first is a package path (full path or suffix),
+and the second is a symbol, or symbol with method or struct field:
+
+ go doc <pkg> <sym>[.<methodOrField>]
+
+In all forms, when matching symbols, lower-case letters in the argument match
+either case but upper-case letters match exactly. This means that there may be
+multiple matches of a lower-case argument in a package if different symbols have
+different cases. If this occurs, documentation for all matches is printed.
+
+Examples:
+ go doc
+ Show documentation for current package.
+ go doc Foo
+ Show documentation for Foo in the current package.
+ (Foo starts with a capital letter so it cannot match
+ a package path.)
+ go doc encoding/json
+ Show documentation for the encoding/json package.
+ go doc json
+ Shorthand for encoding/json.
+ go doc json.Number (or go doc json.number)
+ Show documentation and method summary for json.Number.
+ go doc json.Number.Int64 (or go doc json.number.int64)
+ Show documentation for json.Number's Int64 method.
+ go doc cmd/doc
+ Show package docs for the doc command.
+ go doc -cmd cmd/doc
+ Show package docs and exported symbols within the doc command.
+ go doc template.new
+ Show documentation for html/template's New function.
+ (html/template is lexically before text/template)
+ go doc text/template.new # One argument
+ Show documentation for text/template's New function.
+ go doc text/template new # Two arguments
+ Show documentation for text/template's New function.
+
+ At least in the current tree, these invocations all print the
+ documentation for json.Decoder's Decode method:
+
+ go doc json.Decoder.Decode
+ go doc json.decoder.decode
+ go doc json.decode
+ cd go/src/encoding/json; go doc decode
+
+Flags:
+ -all
+ Show all the documentation for the package.
+ -c
+ Respect case when matching symbols.
+ -cmd
+ Treat a command (package main) like a regular package.
+ Otherwise package main's exported symbols are hidden
+ when showing the package's top-level documentation.
+ -short
+ One-line representation for each symbol.
+ -src
+ Show the full source code for the symbol. This will
+ display the full Go source of its declaration and
+ definition, such as a function definition (including
+ the body), type declaration or enclosing const
+ block. The output may therefore include unexported
+ details.
+ -u
+ Show documentation for unexported as well as exported
+ symbols, methods, and fields.
