GOTYPE(1) | General Commands Manual | GOTYPE(1) |
NAME¶
gotype - syntatic and semantic analysis of Go files
SYNOPSIS¶
gotype [flags] [ path ... ]
DESCRIPTION¶
The gotype command does syntactic and semantic analysis of Go files and packages like the front-end of a Go compiler. Errors are reported if the analysis fails; otherwise gotype is quiet (unless -v is set).
Without a list of paths, gotype reads from standard input, which must provide a single Go source file defining a complete package.
If a single path is specified that is a directory, gotype checks the Go files in that directory; they must all belong to the same package.
Otherwise, each path must be the filename of Go file belonging to the same package.
OPTIONS¶
- -a
- use all (incl. _test.go) files when processing a directory
- -ast
- print AST (forces -seq)
- -comments
- parse comments (ignored unless -ast or -trace is provided)
- -e
- report all errors (not just the first 10)
- -seq
- parse sequentially, rather than in parallel
- -trace
- print parse trace (forces -seq)
- -v
- verbose mode
EXAMPLES¶
To check the files a.go, b.go, and c.go:
gotype a.go b.go c.go
To check an entire package in the directory dir and print the processed files:
gotype -v dir
To check an entire package including tests in the local directory:
gotype -a .
To verify the output of a pipe:
echo "package foo" | gotype
