For 16 information on how to use it see the cgo documentation (go doc cmd/cgo). 17 18 The second is the SWIG program, which is a general tool for 19 interfacing between languages. For information on SWIG see 20 http://swig.org/. When running go build, any file with a .swig 21 extension will be passed to SWIG. Any file with a .swigcxx extension 22 will be passed to SWIG with the -c++ option. 23 24 When either cgo or SWIG is used, go build will pass any .c, .m, .s, .S 25 or .sx files to the C compiler, and any .cc, .cpp, .cxx files to the C++ 26 compiler. The CC or CXX environment variables may be set to determine 27 the C or C++ compiler, respectively, to use. 28 `, 29 } 30 31 var HelpPackages = &base.Command{ 32 UsageLine: "packages", 33 Short: "package lists and patterns", 34 Long: ` 35 Many commands apply to a set of packages: 36 37 go action [packages] 38 39 Usually, [packages] is a list of import paths. 40 41 An import path that is a rooted path or that begins with 42 a . or .. element is interpreted as a file system path and 43 denotes the package in that directory. 44 45 Otherwise, the import path P denotes the package found in 46 the directory DIR/src/P for some DIR listed in the GOPATH 47 environment variable (For more details see: 'go help gopath'). 48 49 If no import paths are given, the action applies to the 50 package in the current directory. 51 52 There are four reserved names for paths that should not be used 53 for packages to be built with the go tool: 54 55 - "main" denotes the top-level package in a stand-alone executable. 56 57 - "all" expands to all packages found in all the GOPATH 58 trees. For example, 'go list all' lists all the packages on the local 59 system. When using modules, "all" expands to all packages in 60 the main module and their dependencies, including dependencies 61 needed by tests of any of those. 62 63 - "std" is like all but expands to just the packages in the standard 64 Go library. 65 66 - "cmd" expands to the Go repository's commands and their 67 internal libraries. 68 69 Import paths beginning with "github.com/gagliardetto/golang-go/cmd/" only match source code in 70 the Go repository. 71 72 An import path is a pattern if it includes one or more "..." wildcards, 73 each of which can match any string, including the empty string and 74 strings containing slashes. Such a pattern expands to all package 75 directories found in the GOPATH trees with names matching the 76 patterns. 77 78 To make common patterns more convenient, there are two special cases. 79 First, /... at the end of the pattern can match an empty string, 80 so that net/... matches both net and packages in its subdirectories, like net/http. 81 Second, any slash-separated pattern element containing a wildcard never 82 participates in a match of the "vendor" element in the path of a vendored 83 package, so that ./... does not match packages in subdirectories of 84 ./vendor or ./mycode/vendor, but ./vendor/... and ./mycode/vendor/... do. 85 Note, however, that a directory named vendor that itself contains code 86 is not a vendored package: cmd/vendor would be a command named vendor, 87 and the pattern cmd/... matches it. 88 See golang.org/s/go15vendor for more about vendoring. 89 90 An import path can also name a package to be downloaded from 91 a remote repository. Run 'go help importpath' for details. 92 93 Every package in a program must have a unique import path. 94 By convention, this is arranged by starting each path with a 95 unique prefix that belongs to you. For example, paths used 96 internally at Google all begin with 'google', and paths 97 denoting remote repositories begin with the path to the code, 98 such as 'github.com/user/repo'. 99 100 Packages in a program need not have unique package names, 101 but there are two reserved package names with special meaning. 102 The name main indicates a command, not a library. 103 Commands are built into binaries and cannot be imported. 104 The name documentation indicates documentation for 105 a non-Go program in the directory. Files in package documentation 106 are ignored by the go command. 107 108 As a special case, if the package list is a list of .go files from a 109 single directory, the command is applied to a single synthesized 110 package made up of exactly those files, ignoring any build constraints 111 in those files and ignoring any other files in the directory. 112 113 Directory and file names that begin with "." or "_" are ignored 114 by the go tool, as are directories named "testdata". 115 `, 116 } 117 118 var HelpImportPath = &base.Command{ 119 UsageLine: "importpath", 120 Short: "import path syntax", 121 Long: ` 122 123 An import path (see 'go help packages') denotes a package stored in the local 124 file system. In general, an import path denotes either a standard package (such 125 as "unicode/utf8") or a package found in one of the work spaces (For more 126 details see: 'go help gopath'). 127 128 Relative import paths 129 130 An import path beginning with ./ or ../ is called a relative path. 131 The toolchain supports relative import paths as a shortcut in two ways. 132 133 First, a relative path can be used as a shorthand on the command line. 134 If you are working in the directory containing the code imported as 135 "unicode" and want to run the tests for "unicode/utf8", you can type 136 "go test ./utf8" instead of needing to specify the full path. 137 Similarly, in the reverse situation, "go test .." will test "unicode" from 138 the "unicode/utf8" directory. Relative patterns are also allowed, like 139 "go test ./..." to test all subdirectories. See 'go help packages' for details 140 on the pattern syntax. 141 142 Second, if you are compiling a Go program not in a work space, 143 you can use a relative path in an import statement in that program 144 to refer to nearby code also not in a work space. 145 This makes it easy to experiment with small multipackage programs 146 outside of the usual work spaces, but such programs cannot be 147 installed with "go install" (there is no work space in which to install them), 148 so they are rebuilt from scratch each time they are built. 149 To avoid ambiguity, Go programs cannot use relative import paths 150 within a work space. 151 152 Remote import paths 153 154 Certain import paths also 155 describe how to obtain the source code for the package using 156 a revision control system. 157 158 A few common code hosting sites have special syntax: 159 160 Bitbucket (Git, Mercurial) 161 162 import "bitbucket.org/user/project" 163 import "bitbucket.org/user/project/sub/directory" 164 165 GitHub (Git) 166 167 import "github.com/user/project" 168 import "github.com/user/project/sub/directory" 169 170 Launchpad (Bazaar) 171 172 import "launchpad.net/project" 173 import "launchpad.net/project/series" 174 import "launchpad.net/project/series/sub/directory" 175 176 import "launchpad.net/~user/project/branch" 177 import "launchpad.net/~user/project/branch/sub/directory" 178 179 IBM DevOps Services (Git) 180 181 import "hub.jazz.net/git/user/project" 182 import "hub.jazz.net/git/user/project/sub/directory" 183 184 For code hosted on other servers, import paths may either be qualified 185 with the version control type, or the go tool can dynamically fetch 186 the import path over https/http and discover where the code resides 187 from a <meta> tag in the HTML. 188 189 To declare the code location, an import path of the form 190 191 repository.vcs/path 192 193 specifies the given repository, with or without the .vcs suffix, 194 using the named version control system, and then the path inside 195 that repository. The supported version control systems are: 196 197 Bazaar .bzr 198 Fossil .fossil 199 Git .git 200 Mercurial .hg 201 Subversion .svn 202 203 For example, 204 205 import "example.org/user/foo.hg" 206 207 denotes the root directory of the Mercurial repository at 208 example.org/user/foo or foo.hg, and 209 210 import "example.org/repo.git/foo/bar" 211 212 denotes the foo/bar directory of the Git repository at 213 example.org/repo or repo.git. 214 215 When a version control system supports multiple protocols, 216 each is tried in turn when downloading. For example, a Git 217 download tries https://, then git+ssh://. 218 219 By default, downloads are restricted to known secure protocols 220 (e.g. https, ssh). To override this setting for Git downloads, the 221 GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL environment variable can be set (For more details see: 222 'go help environment'). 223 224 If the import path is not a known code hosting site and also lacks a 225 version control qualifier, the go tool attempts to fetch the import 226 over https/http and looks for a <meta> tag in the document's HTML 227 <head>. 228 229 The meta tag has the form: 230 231 <meta name="go-import" content="import-prefix vcs repo-root"> 232 233 The import-prefix is the import path corresponding to the repository 234 root. It must be a prefix or an exact match of the package being 235 fetched with "go get". If it's not an exact match, another http 236 request is made at the prefix to verify the <meta> tags match. 237 238 The meta tag should appear as early in the file as possible. 239 In particular, it should appear before any raw JavaScript or CSS, 240 to avoid confusing the go command's restricted parser. 241 242 The vcs is one of "bzr", "fossil", "git", "hg", "svn". 243 244 The repo-root is the root of the version control system 245 containing a scheme and not containing a .vcs qualifier. 246 247 For example, 248 249 import "example.org/pkg/foo" 250 251 will result in the following requests: 252 253 https://example.org/pkg/foo?go-get=1 (preferred) 254 http://example.org/pkg/foo?go-get=1 (fallback, only with -insecure) 255 256 If that page contains the meta tag 257 258 <meta name="go-import" content="example.org git https://code.org/r/p/exproj"> 259 260 the go tool will verify that https://example.org/?go-get=1 contains the 261 same meta tag and then git clone https://code.org/r/p/exproj into 262 GOPATH/src/example.org. 263 264 When using GOPATH, downloaded packages are written to the first directory 265 listed in the GOPATH environment variable. 266 (See 'go help gopath-get' and 'go help gopath'.) 267 268 When using modules, downloaded packages are stored in the module cache. 269 (See 'go help module-get' and 'go help goproxy'.) 270 271 When using modules, an additional variant of the go-import meta tag is 272 recognized and is preferred over those listing version control systems. 273 That variant uses "mod" as the vcs in the content value, as in: 274 275 <meta name="go-import" content="example.org mod https://code.org/moduleproxy"> 276 277 This tag means to fetch modules with paths beginning with example.org 278 from the module proxy available at the URL https://code.org/moduleproxy. 279 See 'go help goproxy' for details about the proxy protocol. 280 281 Import path checking 282 283 When the custom import path feature described above redirects to a 284 known code hosting site, each of the resulting packages has two possible 285 import paths, using the custom domain or the known hosting site. 286 287 A package statement is said to have an "import comment" if it is immediately 288 followed (before the next newline) by a comment of one of these two forms: 289 290 package math // import "path" 291 package math /* import "path" */ 292 293 The go command will refuse to install a package with an import comment 294 unless it is being referred to by that import path. In this way, import comments 295 let package authors make sure the custom import path is used and not a 296 direct path to the underlying code hosting site. 297 298 Import path checking is disabled for code found within vendor trees. 299 This makes it possible to copy code into alternate locations in vendor trees 300 without needing to update import comments. 301 302 Import path checking is also disabled when using modules. 303 Import path comments are obsoleted by the go.mod file's module statement. 304 305 See https://golang.org/s/go14customimport for details. 306 `, 307 } 308 309 var HelpGopath = &base.Command{ 310 UsageLine: "gopath", 311 Short: "GOPATH environment variable", 312 Long: ` 313 The Go path is used to resolve import statements. 314 It is implemented by and documented in the go/build package. 315 316 The GOPATH environment variable lists places to look for Go code. 317 On Unix, the value is a colon-separated string. 318 On Windows, the value is a semicolon-separated string. 319 On Plan 9, the value is a list. 320 321 If the environment variable is unset, GOPATH defaults 322 to a subdirectory named "go" in the user's home directory 323 ($HOME/go on Unix, %USERPROFILE%\go on Windows), 324 unless that directory holds a Go distribution. 325 Run "go env GOPATH" to see the current GOPATH. 326 327 See https://golang.org/wiki/SettingGOPATH to set a custom GOPATH. 328 329 Each directory listed in GOPATH must have a prescribed structure: 330 331 The src directory holds source code. The path below src 332 determines the import path or executable name. 333 334 The pkg directory holds installed package objects. 335 As in the Go tree, each target operating system and 336 architecture pair has its own subdirectory of pkg 337 (pkg/GOOS_GOARCH). 338 339 If DIR is a directory listed in the GOPATH, a package with 340 source in DIR/src/foo/bar can be imported as "foo/bar" and 341 has its compiled form installed to "DIR/pkg/GOOS_GOARCH/foo/bar.a". 342 343 The bin directory holds compiled commands. 344 Each command is named for its source directory, but only 345 the final element, not the entire path. That is, the 346 command with source in DIR/src/foo/quux is installed into 347 DIR/bin/quux, not DIR/bin/foo/quux. The "foo/" prefix is stripped 348 so that you can add DIR/bin to your PATH to get at the 349 installed commands. If the GOBIN environment variable is 350 set, commands are installed to the directory it names instead 351 of DIR/bin. GOBIN must be an absolute path. 352 353 Here's an example directory layout: 354 355 GOPATH=/home/user/go 356 357 /home/user/go/ 358 src/ 359 foo/ 360 bar/ (go code in package bar) 361 x.go 362 quux/ (go code in package main) 363 y.go 364 bin/ 365 quux (installed command) 366 pkg/ 367 linux_amd64/ 368 foo/ 369 bar.a (installed package object) 370 371 Go searches each directory listed in GOPATH to find source code, 372 but new packages are always downloaded into the first directory 373 in the list. 374 375 See https://golang.org/doc/code.html for an example. 376 377 GOPATH and Modules 378 379 When using modules, GOPATH is no longer used for resolving imports. 380 However, it is still used to store downloaded source code (in GOPATH/pkg/mod) 381 and compiled commands (in GOPATH/bin). 382 383 Internal Directories 384 385 Code in or below a directory named "internal" is importable only 386 by code in the directory tree rooted at the parent of "internal". 387 Here's an extended version of the directory layout above: 388 389 /home/user/go/ 390 src/ 391 crash/ 392 bang/ (go code in package bang) 393 b.go 394 foo/ (go code in package foo) 395 f.go 396 bar/ (go code in package bar) 397 x.go 398 internal/ 399 baz/ (go code in package baz) 400 z.go 401 quux/ (go code in package main) 402 y.go 403 404 405 The code in z.go is imported as "foo/internal/baz", but that 406 import statement can only appear in source files in the subtree 407 rooted at foo. The source files foo/f.go, foo/bar/x.go, and 408 foo/quux/y.go can all import "foo/internal/baz", but the source file 409 crash/bang/b.go cannot. 410 411 See https://golang.org/s/go14internal for details. 412 413 Vendor Directories 414 415 Go 1.6 includes support for using local copies of external dependencies 416 to satisfy imports of those dependencies, often referred to as vendoring. 417 418 Code below a directory named "vendor" is importable only 419 by code in the directory tree rooted at the parent of "vendor", 420 and only using an import path that omits the prefix up to and 421 including the vendor element. 422 423 Here's the example from the previous section, 424 but with the "internal" directory renamed to "vendor" 425 and a new foo/vendor/crash/bang directory added: 426 427 /home/user/go/ 428 src/ 429 crash/ 430 bang/ (go code in package bang) 431 b.go 432 foo/ (go code in package foo) 433 f.go 434 bar/ (go code in package bar) 435 x.go 436 vendor/ 437 crash/ 438 bang/ (go code in package bang) 439 b.go 440 baz/ (go code in package baz) 441 z.go 442 quux/ (go code in package main) 443 y.go 444 445 The same visibility rules apply as for internal, but the code 446 in z.go is imported as "baz", not as "foo/vendor/baz". 447 448 Code in vendor directories deeper in the source tree shadows 449 code in higher directories. Within the subtree rooted at foo, an import 450 of "crash/bang" resolves to "foo/vendor/crash/bang", not the 451 top-level "crash/bang". 452 453 Code in vendor directories is not subject to import path 454 checking (see 'go help importpath'). 455 456 When 'go get' checks out or updates a git repository, it now also 457 updates submodules. 458 459 Vendor directories do not affect the placement of new repositories 460 being checked out for the first time by 'go get': those are always 461 placed in the main GOPATH, never in a vendor subtree. 462 463 See https://golang.org/s/go15vendor for details. 464 `, 465 } 466 467 var HelpEnvironment = &base.Command{ 468 UsageLine: "environment", 469 Short: "environment variables", 470 Long: ` 471 472 The go command and the tools it invokes consult environment variables 473 for configuration. If an environment variable is unset, the go command 474 uses a sensible default setting. To see the effective setting of the 475 variable <NAME>, run 'go env <NAME>'. To change the default setting, 476 run 'go env -w <NAME>=<VALUE>'. Defaults changed using 'go env -w' 477 are recorded in a Go environment configuration file stored in the 478 per-user configuration directory, as reported by os.UserConfigDir. 479 The location of the configuration file can be changed by setting 480 the environment variable GOENV, and 'go env GOENV' prints the 481 effective location, but 'go env -w' cannot change the default location. 482 See 'go help env' for details. 483 484 General-purpose environment variables: 485 486 GCCGO 487 The gccgo command to run for 'go build -compiler=gccgo'. 488 GOARCH 489 The architecture, or processor, for which to compile code. 490 Examples are amd64, 386, arm, ppc64. 491 GOBIN 492 The directory where 'go install' will install a command. 493 GOCACHE 494 The directory where the go command will store cached 495 information for reuse in future builds. 496 GODEBUG 497 Enable various debugging facilities. See 'go doc runtime' 498 for details. 499 GOENV 500 The location of the Go environment configuration file. 501 Cannot be set using 'go env -w'. 502 GOFLAGS 503 A space-separated list of -flag=value settings to apply 504 to go commands by default, when the given flag is known by 505 the current command. Each entry must be a standalone flag. 506 Because the entries are space-separated, flag values must 507 not contain spaces. Flags listed on the command line 508 are applied after this list and therefore override it. 509 GOINSECURE 510 Comma-separated list of glob patterns (in the syntax of Go's path.Match) 511 of module path prefixes that should always be fetched in an insecure 512 manner. Only applies to dependencies that are being fetched directly. 513 GOOS 514 The operating system for which to compile code. 515 Examples are linux, darwin, windows, netbsd. 516 GOPATH 517 For more details see: 'go help gopath'. 518 GOPROXY 519 URL of Go module proxy. See 'go help modules'. 520 GOPRIVATE, GONOPROXY, GONOSUMDB 521 Comma-separated list of glob patterns (in the syntax of Go's path.Match) 522 of module path prefixes that should always be fetched directly 523 or that should not be compared against the checksum database. 524 See 'go help module-private'. 525 GOROOT 526 The root of the go tree. 527 GOSUMDB 528 The name of checksum database to use and optionally its public key and 529 URL.

Currently supported values 678 are: 679 680 -buildmode=archive 681 Build the listed non-main packages into .a files. Packages named 682 main are ignored. 683 684 -buildmode=c-archive 685 Build the listed main package, plus all packages it imports, 686 into a C archive file. The only callable symbols will be those 687 functions exported using a cgo //export comment. Requires 688 exactly one main package to be listed. 689 690 -buildmode=c-shared 691 Build the listed main package, plus all packages it imports, 692 into a C shared library. The only callable symbols will 693 be those functions exported using a cgo //export comment. 694 Requires exactly one main package to be listed. 695 696 -buildmode=default 697 Listed main packages are built into executables and listed 698 non-main packages are built into .a files (the default 699 behavior). 700 701 -buildmode=shared 702 Combine all the listed non-main packages into a single shared 703 library that will be used when building with the -linkshared 704 option.

Packages not named 713 main are ignored. 714 715 -buildmode=plugin 716 Build the listed main packages, plus all packages that they 717 import, into a Go plugin. Packages not named main are ignored. 718 719 On AIX, when linking a C program that uses a Go archive built with 720 -buildmode=c-archive, you must pass -Wl,-bnoobjreorder to the C compiler. 721 `, 722 } 723 724 var HelpCache = &base.Command{ 725 UsageLine: "cache", 726 Short: "build and test caching", 727 Long: ` 728 The go command caches build outputs for reuse in future builds. 729 The default location for cache data is a subdirectory named go-build 730 in the standard user cache directory for the current operating system. 731 Setting the GOCACHE environment variable overrides this default, 732 and running 'go env GOCACHE' prints the current cache directory. 733 734 The go command periodically deletes cached data that has not been 735 used recently. Running 'go clean -cache' deletes all cached data. 736 737 The build cache correctly accounts for changes to Go source files, 738 compilers, compiler options, and so on: cleaning the cache explicitly 739 should not be necessary in typical use. However, the build cache 740 does not detect changes to C libraries imported with cgo. 741 If you have made changes to the C libraries on your system, you 742 will need to clean the cache explicitly or else use the -a build flag 743 (see 'go help build') to force rebuilding of packages that 744 depend on the updated C libraries. 745 746 The go command also caches successful package test results. 747 See 'go help test' for details. Running 'go clean -testcache' removes 748 all cached test results (but not cached build results). 749 750 The GODEBUG environment variable can enable printing of debugging 751 information about the state of the cache: 752 753 GODEBUG=gocacheverify=1 causes the go command to bypass the 754 use of any cache entries and instead rebuild everything and check 755 that the results match existing cache entries. 756 757 GODEBUG=gocachehash=1 causes the go command to print the inputs 758 for all of the content hashes it uses to construct cache lookup keys. 759 The output is voluminous but can be useful for debugging the cache. 760 761 GODEBUG=gocachetest=1 causes the go command to print details of its 762 decisions about whether to reuse a cached test result. 763 `, 764 }
