NAME¶

gofmt - format Go programs

SYNOPSIS¶

gofmt [flags] [path ...]

DESCRIPTION¶

Gofmt formats Go programs. It uses tabs for indentation and blanks for alignment. Alignment assumes that an editor is using a fixed-width font.

Without an explicit path, it processes the standard input. Given a file, it operates on that file; given a directory, it operates on all .go files in that directory, recursively. (Files starting with a period are ignored.) By default, gofmt prints the reformatted sources to standard output.

OPTIONS¶

-cpuprofile string

write cpu profile to this file

-d

display diffs instead of rewriting files

-e

report all errors (not just the first 10 on different lines)

-l

list files whose formatting differs from gofmt’s

-r string

rewrite rule (e.g., `a[b:len(a)] -> a[b:]')

-s

simplify code

-w

write result to (source) file instead of stdout
