There is a suite of programs to build and process Go source code.
|
|
Instead of being run directly, programs in the suite are usually invoked
|
|
by the <a href="/cmd/go/">go</a> program.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The most common way to run these programs is as a subcommand of the go program,
|
|
for instance as <code>go fmt</code>. Run like this, the command operates on
|
|
complete packages of Go source code, with the go program invoking the
|
|
underlying binary with arguments appropriate to package-level processing.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The programs can also be run as stand-alone binaries, with unmodified arguments,
|
|
using the go <code>tool</code> subcommand, such as <code>go tool vet</code>.
|
|
This style of invocation allows, for instance, checking a single source file
|
|
rather than an entire package: <code>go tool vet myprogram.go</code> as
|
|
compared to <code>go vet mypackage</code>.
|
|
Some of the commands, such as <code>pprof</code>, are accessible only through
|
|
the go <code>tool</code> subcommand.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Finally the <code>fmt</code> and <code>godoc</code> commands are installed
|
|
as regular binaries called <code>gofmt</code> and <code>godoc</code> because
|
|
they are so often referenced.
