//
// type ModuleError struct {
// Err string // the error itself
// }
//
// 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:
//
// my/main/module
// golang.org/x/text v0.3.0 => /tmp/text
// rsc.io/pdf v0.1.1
//
// 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.)
//
// 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.
// The Module's String method indicates an available upgrade by
// formatting the newer version in brackets after the current version.
// For example, 'go list -m -u all' might print:
//
// my/main/module
// golang.org/x/text v0.3.0 [v0.4.0] => /tmp/text
// rsc.io/pdf v0.1.1 [v0.1.2]
//
// (For tools, 'go list -m -u -json all' may be more convenient to parse.)
//
// 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.
//
// 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 module' for more about module queries.
//
// 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.

// Module maintenance
//
// Usage:
//
// go mod [-v] [maintenance flags]
//
// Mod performs module maintenance operations as specified by the
// following flags, which may be combined.
//
// The -v flag enables additional output about operations performed.
//
// The first group of operations provide low-level editing operations
// for manipulating go.mod from the command line or in scripts or
// other tools. They read only go.mod itself; they do not look up any
// information about the modules involved.
//
// The -init flag initializes and writes a new go.mod to the current directory,
// in effect creating a new module rooted at the current directory.
// The file go.mod must not already exist.
// If possible, mod will guess the module path from import comments
// (see 'go help importpath') or from version control configuration.
// To override this guess, use the -module flag.
// (Without -init, mod applies to the current module.)
//
// The -module flag changes (or, with -init, sets) the module's path
// (the go.mod file's module line).
//
// The -require=path@version and -droprequire=path flags
// add and drop a requirement on the given module path and version.
// Note that -require overrides any existing requirements on path.
// These flags are mainly for tools that understand the module graph.
// Users should prefer 'go get path@version' or 'go get path@none',
// which make other go.mod adjustments as needed to satisfy
// constraints imposed by other modules.
//
// The -exclude=path@version and -dropexclude=path@version flags
// add and drop an exclusion for the given module path and version.
// Note that -exclude=path@version is a no-op if that exclusion already exists.
//
// The -replace=old@v=new@w and -dropreplace=old@v flags
// add and drop a replacement of the given module path and version pair.
// If the @v in old@v is omitted, the replacement applies to all versions
// with the old module path. If the @v in new@v is omitted, the
// new path should be a directory on the local system, not a module path.
// Note that -replace overrides any existing replacements for old@v.
//
// These editing flags (-require, -droprequire, -exclude, -dropexclude,
// -replace, and -dropreplace) may be repeated.
//
// The -fmt flag reformats the go.mod file without making other changes.
// This reformatting is also implied by any other modifications that use or
// rewrite the go.mod file. The only time this flag is needed is if no other
// flags are specified, as in 'go mod -fmt'.
//
// The -graph flag prints the module requirement graph (with replacements applied)
// in text form. Each line in the output has two space-separated fields: a module
// and one of its requirements. Each module is identified as a string of the form
// path@version, except for the main module, which has no @version suffix.
//
// The -json flag prints the go.mod file in JSON format corresponding to these
// Go types:
//
// type Module struct {
// Path string
// Version string
// }
//
// type GoMod struct {
// Module Module
// Require []Require
// Exclude []Module
// Replace []Replace
// }
//
// type Require struct {
// Path string
// Version string
// Indirect bool
// }
//
// type Replace string {
// Old Module
// New Module
// }
//
// Note that this only describes the go.mod file itself, not other modules
// referred to indirectly. For the full set of modules available to a build,
// use 'go list -m -json all'.
//
// The next group of operations provide higher-level editing and maintenance
// of a module, beyond the go.mod file.
//
// The -packages flag prints a list of packages in the module.
// It only identifies directories containing Go source code;
// it does not check that those directories contain code that builds.
//
// The -fix flag updates go.mod to use canonical version identifiers and
// to be semantically consistent. For example, consider this go.mod file:
//
// module M
//
// require (
// A v1
// B v1.0.0
// C v1.0.0
// D v1.2.3
// E dev
// )
//
// exclude D v1.2.3
//
// First, -fix rewrites non-canonical version identifiers to semver form, so
// A's v1 becomes v1.0.0 and E's dev becomes the pseudo-version for the latest
// commit on the dev branch, perhaps v0.0.0-20180523231146-b3f5c0f6e5f1.
//
// Next, -fix updates requirements to respect exclusions, so the requirement
// on the excluded D v1.2.3 is updated to use the next available version of D,
// perhaps D v1.2.4 or D v1.3.0.
//
// Finally, -fix removes redundant or misleading requirements.
// For example, if A v1.0.0 itself requires B v1.2.0 and C v1.0.0,
// then go.mod's requirement of B v1.0.0 is misleading (superseded
// by B's need for v1.2.0), and its requirement of C v1.0.0 is redundant
// (implied by B's need for the same version), so both will be removed.
//
// Although -fix runs the fix-up operation in isolation, the fix-up also
// runs automatically any time a go command uses the module graph,
// to update go.mod to reflect reality. For example, the -sync, -vendor,
// and -verify flags all effectively imply -fix. And because the module
// graph defines the meaning of import statements, any commands
// that load packages—'go build', 'go test', 'go list', and so on—also
// effectively imply 'go mod -fix'.
//
// The -sync flag synchronizes go.mod with the source code in the module.
// It adds any missing modules necessary to build the current module's
// packages and dependencies, and it removes unused modules that
// don't provide any relevant packages. It also adds any missing entries
// to go.sum and removes any unnecessary ones.
//
// The -vendor flag resets the module's vendor directory to include all
// packages needed to build and test all the module's packages.
// It does not include any test code for the vendored packages.
//
// The -verify flag checks that the dependencies of the current module,
// which are stored in a local downloaded source cache, have not been
// modified since being downloaded. If all the modules are unmodified,
// -verify prints "all modules verified." Otherwise it reports which
// modules have been changed and causes 'go mod' to exit with a
// non-zero status.

// Package lists
// Modules, module versions, and more
//
// A module is a collection of related Go packages.
// Modules are the unit of source code interchange and versioning.
// The go command has direct support for working with modules,
// including recording and resolving dependencies on other modules.
// Modules replace the old GOPATH-based approach to specifying
// which source files are used in a given build.
//
// Experimental module support
//
// Go 1.11 includes experimental support for Go modules,
// including a new module-aware 'go get' command.
// We intend to keep revising this support, while preserving compatibility,
// until it can be declared official (no longer experimental),
// and then at a later point we may remove support for work
// in GOPATH and the old 'go get' command.
//
// The quickest way to take advantage of the new Go 1.11 module support
// is to check out your repository into a directory outside GOPATH/src,
// create a go.mod file (described in the next section) there, and run
// go commands from within that file tree.
//
// For more fine-grained control, the module support in Go 1.11 respects
// a temporary environment variable, GO111MODULE, which can be set to one
// of three string values: off, on, or auto (the default).
// If GO111MODULE=off, then the go command never uses the
// new module support. Instead it looks in vendor directories and GOPATH
// to find dependencies; we now refer to this as "GOPATH mode."
// If GO111MODULE=on, then the go command requires the use of modules,
// never consulting GOPATH. We refer to this as the command being
// module-aware or running in "module-aware mode".
// If GO111MODULE=auto or is unset, then the go command enables or
// disables module support based on the current directory.
// Module support is enabled only when the current directory is outside
// GOPATH/src and itself contains a go.mod file or is below a directory
// containing a go.mod file.
//
// In module-aware mode, GOPATH no longer defines the meaning of imports
// during a build, but it still stores downloaded dependencies (in GOPATH/src/mod)
// and installed commands (in GOPATH/bin, unless GOBIN is set).
//
// Defining a module
//
// A module is defined by a tree of Go source files with a go.mod file
// in the tree's root directory. The directory containing the go.mod file
// is called the module root. Typically the module root will also correspond
// to a source code repository root (but in general it need not).
// The module is the set of all Go packages in the module root and its
// subdirectories, but excluding subtrees with their own go.mod files.
//
// The "module path" is the import path prefix corresponding to the module root.
// The go.mod file defines the module path and lists the specific versions
// of other modules that should be used when resolving imports during a build,
// by giving their module paths and versions.
//
// For example, this go.mod declares that the directory containing it is the root
// of the module with path example.com/m, and it also declares that the module
// depends on specific versions of golang.org/x/text and gopkg.in/yaml.v2:
//
// module example.com/m
//
// require (
// golang.org/x/text v0.3.0
// gopkg.in/yaml.v2 v2.1.0
// )
//
// The go.mod file can also specify replacements and excluded versions
// that only apply when building the module directly; they are ignored
// when the module is incorporated into a larger build.
// For more about the go.mod file, see https://research.swtch.com/vgo-module.
//
// To start a new module, simply create a go.mod file in the root of the
// module's directory tree, containing only a module statement.
// The 'go mod' command can be used to do this:
//
// go mod -init -module example.com/m
//
// In a project already using an existing dependency management tool like
// godep, glide, or dep, 'go mod -init' will also add require statements
// matching the existing configuration.
//
// Once the go.mod file exists, no additional steps are required:
// go commands like 'go build', 'go test', or even 'go list' will automatically
// add new dependencies as needed to satisfy imports.
//
// The main module and the build list
//
// The "main module" is the module containing the directory where the go command
// is run. The go command finds the module root by looking for a go.mod in the
// current directory, or else the current directory's parent directory,
// or else the parent's parent directory, and so on.
//
// The main module's go.mod file defines the precise set of packages available
// for use by the go command, through require, replace, and exclude statements.
// Dependency modules, found by following require statements, also contribute
// to the definition of that set of packages, but only through their go.mod
// files' require statements: any replace and exclude statements in dependency
// modules are ignored. The replace and exclude statements therefore allow the
// main module complete control over its own build, without also being subject
// to complete control by dependencies.
//
// The set of modules providing packages to builds is called the "build list".
// The build list initially contains only the main module. Then the go command
// adds to the list the exact module versions required by modules already
// on the list, recursively, until there is nothing left to add to the list.
// If multiple versions of a particular module are added to the list,
// then at the end only the latest version (according to semantic version
// ordering) is kept for use in the build.
//
// The 'go list' command provides information about the main module
// and the build list. For example:
//
// go list -m # print path of main module
// go list -m -f={{.Dir}} # print root directory of main module
// go list -m all # print build list
//
// Maintaining module requirements
//
// The go.mod file is meant to be readable and editable by both
// programmers and tools. The go command itself automatically updates the go.mod file
// to maintain a standard formatting and the accuracy of require statements.
//
// Any go command that finds an unfamiliar import will look up the module
// containing that import and add the latest version of that module
// to go.mod automatically. In most cases, therefore, it suffices to
// add an import to source code and run 'go build', 'go test', or even 'go list':
// as part of analyzing the package, the go command will discover
// and resolve the import and update the go.mod file.
//
// Any go command can determine that a module requirement is
// missing and must be added, even when considering only a single
// package from the module. On the other hand, determining that a module requirement
// is no longer necessary and can be deleted requires a full view of
// all packages in the module, across all possible build configurations
// (architectures, operating systems, build tags, and so on).
// The 'go mod -sync' command builds that view and then
// adds any missing module requirements and removes unnecessary ones.
//
// As part of maintaining the require statements in go.mod, the go command
// tracks which ones provide packages imported directly by the current module
// and which ones provide packages only used indirectly by other module
// dependencies. Requirements needed only for indirect uses are marked with a
// "// indirect" comment in the go.mod file. Indirect requirements are
// automatically removed from the go.mod file once they are implied by other
// direct requirements. Indirect requirements only arise when using modules
// that fail to state some of their own dependencies or when explicitly
// upgrading a module's dependencies ahead of its own stated requirements.
//
// Because of this automatic maintenance, the information in go.mod is an
// up-to-date, readable description of the build.
//
// The 'go get' command updates go.mod to change the module versions used in a
// build. An upgrade of one module may imply upgrading others, and similarly a
// downgrade of one module may imply downgrading others. The 'go get' command
// makes these implied changes as well. If go.mod is edited directly, commands
// like 'go build' or 'go list' will assume that an upgrade is intended and
// automatically make any implied upgrades and update go.mod to reflect them.
//
// The 'go mod' command provides other functionality for use in maintaining
// and understanding modules and go.mod files. See 'go help mod'.
//
// Pseudo-versions
//
// The go.mod file and the go command more generally use semantic versions as
// the standard form for describing module versions, so that versions can be
// compared to determine which should be considered earlier or later than another.
// A module version like v1.2.3 is introduced by tagging a revision in the
// underlying source repository. Untagged revisions can be referred to
// using a "pseudo-version" like v0.0.0-yyyymmddhhmmss-abcdefabcdef,
// where the time is the commit time in UTC and the final suffix is the prefix
// of the commit hash. The time portion ensures that two pseudo-versions can
// be compared to determine which happened later, the commit hash identifes
// the underlying commit, and the prefix (v0.0.0- in this example) is derived from
// the most recent tagged version in the commit graph before this commit.
//
// There are three pseudo-version forms:
//
// vX.0.0-yyyymmddhhmmss-abcdefabcdef is used when there is no earlier
// versioned commit with an appropriate major version before the target commit.
// (This was originally the only form, so some older go.mod files use this form
// even for commits that do follow tags.)
//
// vX.Y.Z-pre.0.yyyymmddhhmmss-abcdefabcdef is used when the most
// recent versioned commit before the target commit is vX.Y.Z-pre.
//
// vX.Y.(Z+1)-0.yyyymmddhhmmss-abcdefabcdef is used when the most
// recent versioned commit before the target commit is vX.Y.Z.
//
// Pseudo-versions never need to be typed by hand: the go command will accept
// the plain commit hash and translate it into a pseudo-version (or a tagged
// version if available) automatically. This conversion is an example of a
// module query.
//
// Module queries
//
// The go command accepts a "module query" in place of a module version
// both on the command line and in the main module's go.mod file.
// (After evaluating a query found in the main module's go.mod file,
// the go command updates the file to replace the query with its result.)
//
// A fully-specified semantic version, such as "v1.2.3",
// evaluates to that specific version.
//
// A semantic version prefix, such as "v1" or "v1.2",
// evaluates to the latest available tagged version with that prefix.
//
// A semantic version comparison, such as "<v1.2.3" or ">=v1.5.6",
// evaluates to the available tagged version nearest to the comparison target
// (the latest version for < and <=, the earliest version for > and >=).
//
// The string "latest" matches the latest available tagged version,
// or else the underlying source repository's latest untagged revision.
//
// A revision identifier for the underlying source repository,
// such as a commit hash prefix, revision tag, or branch name,
// selects that specific code revision. If the revision is
// also tagged with a semantic version, the query evaluates to
// that semantic version. Otherwise the query evaluates to a
// pseudo-version for the commit.
//
// All queries prefer release versions to pre-release versions.
// For example, "<v1.2.3" will prefer to return "v1.2.2"
// instead of "v1.2.3-pre1", even though "v1.2.3-pre1" is nearer
// to the comparison target.
//
// Module versions disallowed by exclude statements in the
// main module's go.mod are considered unavailable and cannot
// be returned by queries.
//
// For example, these commands are all valid:
//
// go get github.com/gorilla/mux@latest # same (@latest is default for 'go get')
// go get github.com/gorilla/mux@v1.6.2 # records v1.6.2
// go get github.com/gorilla/mux@e3702bed2 # records v1.6.2
// go get github.com/gorilla/mux@c856192 # records v0.0.0-20180517173623-c85619274f5d
// go get github.com/gorilla/mux@master # records current meaning of master
//
// Module compatibility and semantic versioning
//
// The go command requires that modules use semantic versions and expects that
// the versions accurately describe compatibility: it assumes that v1.5.4 is a
// backwards-compatible replacement for v1.5.3, v1.4.0, and even v1.0.0.
// More generally the go command expects that packages follow the
// "import compatibility rule", which says:
//
// "If an old package and a new package have the same import path,
// the new package must be backwards compatible with the old package."
//
// Because the go command assumes the import compatibility rule,
// a module definition can only set the minimum required version of one
// of its dependencies: it cannot set a maximum or exclude selected versions.
// Still, the import compatibility rule is not a guarantee: it may be that
// v1.5.4 is buggy and not a backwards-compatible replacement for v1.5.3.
// Because of this, the go command never updates from an older version
// to a newer version of a module unasked.
//
// In semantic versioning, changing the major version number indicates a lack
// of backwards compatibility with earlier versions. To preserve import
// compatibility, the go command requires that modules with major version v2
// or later use a module path with that major version as the final element.
// For example, version v2.0.0 of example.com/m must instead use module path
// example.com/m/v2, and packages in that module would use that path as
// their import path prefix, as in example.com/m/v2/sub/pkg. Including the
// major version number in the module path and import paths in this way is
// called "semantic import versioning". Pseudo-versions for modules with major
// version v2 and later begin with that major version instead of v0, as in
// v2.0.0-20180326061214-4fc5987536ef.
//
// As a special case, module paths beginning with gopkg.in/ continue to use the
// conventions established on that system: the major version is always present,
// and it is preceded by a dot instead of a slash: gopkg.in/yaml.v1
// and gopkg.in/yaml.v2, not gopkg.in/yaml and gopkg.in/yaml/v2.
//
// The go command treats modules with different module paths as unrelated:
// it makes no connection between example.com/m and example.com/m/v2.
// Modules with different major versions can be used together in a build
// and are kept separate by the fact that their packages use different
// import paths.
//
// In semantic versioning, major version v0 is for initial development,
// indicating no expectations of stability or backwards compatibility.
// Major version v0 does not appear in the module path, because those
// versions are preparation for v1.0.0, and v1 does not appear in the
// module path either.
//
// Code written before the semantic import versioning convention
// was introduced may use major versions v2 and later to describe
// the same set of unversioned import paths as used in v0 and v1.
// To accommodate such code, if a source code repository has a
// v2.0.0 or later tag for a file tree with no go.mod, the version is
// considered to be part of the v1 module's available versions
// and is given an +incompatible suffix when converted to a module
// version, as in v2.0.0+incompatible. The +incompatible tag is also
// applied to pseudo-versions derived from such versions, as in
// v2.0.1-0.yyyymmddhhmmss-abcdefabcdef+incompatible.
//
// In general, having a dependency in the build list (as reported by 'go list -m all')
// on a v0 version, pre-release version, pseudo-version, or +incompatible version
// is an indication that problems are more likely when upgrading that
// dependency, since there is no expectation of compatibility for those.

// TODO: Add documentation to go command.
//
// Module downloading and verification
//
// The go command maintains, in the main module's root directory alongside
// go.mod, a file named go.sum containing the expected cryptographic checksums
// of the content of specific module versions. Each time a dependency is
// used, its checksum is added to go.sum if missing or else required to match
// the existing entry in go.sum.
//
// The go command maintains a cache of downloaded packages and computes
// and records the cryptographic checksum of each package at download time.
// In normal operation, the go command checks these pre-computed checksums
// against the main module's go.sum file, instead of recomputing them on
// each command invocation. The 'go mod -verify' command checks that
// the cached copies of module downloads still match both their recorded
// checksums and the entries in go.sum.
//
// The go command can fetch modules from a proxy instead of connecting
// to source control systems directly, according to the setting of the GOPROXY
// environment variable.
//
// See 'go help goproxy' for details about the proxy and also the format of
// the cached downloaded packages.
//
// Modules and vendoring
//
// When using modules, the go command completely ignores vendor directories.
//
// By default, the go command satisfies dependencies by downloading modules
// from their sources and using those downloaded copies (after verification,
// as described in the previous section). To allow interoperation with older
// versions of Go, or to ensure that all files used for a build are stored
// together in a single file tree, 'go mod -vendor' creates a directory named
// vendor in the root directory of the main module and stores there all the
// packages from dependency modules that are needed to support builds and
// tests of packages in the main module.
//
// To build using the main module's top-level vendor directory to satisfy
// dependencies (disabling use of the usual network sources and local
// caches), use 'go build -getmode=vendor'. Note that only the main module's
// top-level vendor directory is used; vendor directories in other locations
// are still ignored.
//
//
// Module-aware go get
//
// The 'go get' command changes behavior depending on whether the
// go command is running in module-aware mode or legacy GOPATH mode.
// This help text, accessible as 'go help module-get' even in legacy GOPATH mode,
// describes 'go get' as it operates in module-aware mode.
//
// Usage: get [-d] [-m] [-u] [-v] [-insecure] [build flags] [packages]
//
// Get resolves and adds dependencies to the current development module
// and then builds and installs them.
//
// The first step is to resolve which dependencies to add.
//
// For each named package or package pattern, get must decide which version of
// the corresponding module to use. By default, get chooses the latest tagged
// release version, such as v0.4.5 or v1.2.3. If there are no tagged release
// versions, get chooses the latest tagged prerelease version, such as
// v0.0.1-pre1. If there are no tagged versions at all, get chooses the latest
// known commit.
//
// This default version selection can be overridden by adding an @version
// suffix to the package argument, as in 'go get golang.org/x/text@v0.3.0'.
// For modules stored in source control repositories, the version suffix can
// also be a commit hash, branch identifier, or other syntax known to the
// source control system, as in 'go get golang.org/x/text@master'.
// The version suffix @latest explicitly requests the default behavior
// described above.
//
// If a module under consideration is already a dependency of the current
// development module, then get will update the required version.
// Specifying a version earlier than the current required version is valid and
// downgrades the dependency. The version suffix @none indicates that the
// dependency should be removed entirely.
//
// Although get defaults to using the latest version of the module containing
// a named package, it does not use the latest version of that module's
// dependencies. Instead it prefers to use the specific dependency versions
// requested by that module. For example, if the latest A requires module
// B v1.2.3, while B v1.2.4 and v1.3.1 are also available, then 'go get A'
// will use the latest A but then use B v1.2.3, as requested by A. (If there
// are competing requirements for a particular module, then 'go get' resolves
// those requirements by taking the maximum requested version.)
//
// The -u flag instructs get to update dependencies to use newer minor or
// patch releases when available. Continuing the previous example,
// 'go get -u A' will use the latest A with B v1.3.1 (not B v1.2.3).
//
// The -u=patch flag (not -u patch) instructs get to update dependencies
// to use newer patch releases when available. Continuing the previous example,
// 'go get -u=patch A' will use the latest A with B v1.2.4 (not B v1.2.3).
//
// In general, adding a new dependency may require upgrading
// existing dependencies to keep a working build, and 'go get' does
// this automatically. Similarly, downgrading one dependency may
// require downgrading other dependenceis, and 'go get' does
// this automatically as well.
//
// The -m flag instructs get to stop here, after resolving, upgrading,
// and downgrading modules and updating go.mod. When using -m,
// each specified package path must be a module path as well,
// not the import path of a package below the module root.
//
// The -insecure flag permits fetching from repositories and resolving
// custom domains using insecure schemes such as HTTP. Use with caution.
//
// The second step is to download (if needed), build, and install
// the named packages.
//
// If an argument names a module but not a package (because there is no
// Go source code in the module's root directory), then the install step
// is skipped for that argument, instead of causing a build failure.
// For example 'go get golang.org/x/perf' succeeds even though there
// is no code corresponding to that import path.
//
// Note that package patterns are allowed and are expanded after resolving
// the module versions. For example, 'go get golang.org/x/perf/cmd/...'
// adds the latest golang.org/x/perf and then installs the commands in that
// latest version.
//
// The -d flag instructs get to download the source code needed to build
// the named packages, including downloading necessary dependencies,
// but not to build and install them.
//
// With no package arguments, 'go get' applies to the main module,
// and to the Go package in the current directory, if any. In particular,
// 'go get -u' and 'go get -u=patch' update all the dependencies of the
// main module. With no package arguments and also without -u,
// 'go get' is not much more than 'go install', and 'go get -d' not much
// more than 'go list'.
//
// For more about modules, see 'go help modules'.
//
// For more about specifying packages, see 'go help packages'.
//
// This text describes the behavior of get using modules to manage source
// code and dependencies. If instead the go command is running in GOPATH
// mode, the details of get's flags and effects change, as does 'go help get'.
