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 "go fmt". 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 tool subcommand, such as "go tool vet".
|
|
This style of invocation allows, for instance, checking a single source file rather than
|
|
an entire package: "go tool vet myprogram.go" as compared to
|
|
"go vet mypackage".
|
|
Some of the commands, such as prof and yacc, are accessible
|
|
only through the go tool subcommand.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Finally, two of the commands, fmt and
|
|
doc, are also installed as regular binaries called
|
|
gofmt and godoc
|
|
because they are so often referenced.
