var CmdList = &base.Command{
UsageLine: "go list [-f format] [-json] [-m] [list flags] [build flags] [packages]",
Short: "list packages or modules",
Long: `
List lists the named packages, one per line.
The most commonly-used flags are -f and -json, which control the form
of the output printed for each package. Other list flags, documented below,
control more specific details.
The default output shows the package import path:
bytes
encoding/json
github.com/gorilla/mux
golang.org/x/net/html
The -f flag specifies an alternate format for the list, using the
syntax of package template. The default output is equivalent
to -f '{{.ImportPath}}'. The struct being passed to the template is:
type Package struct {
Dir string // directory containing package sources
ImportPath string // import path of package in dir
ImportComment string // path in import comment on package statement
Name string // package name
Doc string // package documentation string
Target string // install path
Shlib string // the shared library that contains this package (only set when -linkshared)
Goroot bool // is this package in the Go root?
Standard bool // is this package part of the standard Go library?
Stale bool // would 'go install' do anything for this package?
StaleReason string // explanation for Stale==true
Root string // Go root or Go path dir containing this package
ConflictDir string // this directory shadows Dir in $GOPATH
BinaryOnly bool // binary-only package: cannot be recompiled from sources
ForTest string // package is only for use in named test
Export string // file containing export data (when using -export)
Module *Module // info about package's containing module, if any (can be nil)
Match []string // command-line patterns matching this package
DepOnly bool // package is only a dependency, not explicitly listed
// Module files
GoFiles []string // .go source files (excluding CgoFiles, TestGoFiles, XTestGoFiles)
CgoFiles []string // .go source files that import "C"
CompiledGoFiles []string // .go files presented to compiler (when using -compiled)
IgnoredGoFiles []string // .go source files ignored due to build constraints
CFiles []string // .c source files
CXXFiles []string // .cc, .cxx and .cpp source files
MFiles []string // .m source files
HFiles []string // .h, .hh, .hpp and .hxx source files
FFiles []string // .f, .F, .for and .f90 Fortran source files
SFiles []string // .s source files
SwigFiles []string // .swig files
SwigCXXFiles []string // .swigcxx files
SysoFiles []string // .syso object files to add to archive
TestGoFiles []string // _test.go files in package
XTestGoFiles []string // _test.go files outside package
// Cgo directives
CgoCFLAGS []string // cgo: flags for C compiler
CgoCPPFLAGS []string // cgo: flags for C preprocessor
CgoCXXFLAGS []string // cgo: flags for C++ compiler
CgoFFLAGS []string // cgo: flags for Fortran compiler
CgoLDFLAGS []string // cgo: flags for linker
CgoPkgConfig []string // cgo: pkg-config names
// Dependency information
Imports []string // import paths used by this package
ImportMap map[string]string // map from source import to ImportPath (identity entries omitted)
Deps []string // all (recursively) imported dependencies
TestImports []string // imports from TestGoFiles
XTestImports []string // imports from XTestGoFiles
// Error information
Incomplete bool // this package or a dependency has an error
Error *PackageError // error loading package
DepsErrors []*PackageError // errors loading dependencies
}
Packages stored in vendor directories report an ImportPath that includes the
path to the vendor directory (for example, "d/vendor/p" instead of "p"),
so that the ImportPath uniquely identifies a given copy of a package.
The Imports, Deps, TestImports, and XTestImports lists also contain these
expanded import paths. See golang.org/s/go15vendor for more about vendoring.
The error information, if any, is
type PackageError struct {
ImportStack []string // shortest path from package named on command line to this one
Pos string // position of error (if present, file:line:col)
Err string // the error itself
}
The module information is a Module struct, defined in the discussion
of list -m below.
The template function "join" calls strings.Join.
The template function "context" returns the build context, defined as:
type Context struct {
GOARCH string // target architecture
GOOS string // target operating system
GOROOT string // Go root
GOPATH string // Go path
CgoEnabled bool // whether cgo can be used
UseAllFiles bool // use files regardless of +build lines, file names
Compiler string // compiler to assume when computing target paths
BuildTags []string // build constraints to match in +build lines
ReleaseTags []string // releases the current release is compatible with
InstallSuffix string // suffix to use in the name of the install dir
}
For more information about the meaning of these fields see the documentation
for the go/build package's Context type.
The -json flag causes the package data to be printed in JSON format
instead of using the template format.
The -compiled flag causes list to set CompiledGoFiles to the Go source
files presented to the compiler. Typically this means that it repeats
the files listed in GoFiles and then also adds the Go code generated
by processing CgoFiles and SwigFiles. The Imports list contains the
union of all imports from both GoFiles and CompiledGoFiles.
The -deps flag causes list to iterate over not just the named packages
but also all their dependencies. It visits them in a depth-first post-order
traversal, so that a package is listed only after all its dependencies.
Packages not explicitly listed on the command line will have the DepOnly
field set to true.
The -e flag changes the handling of erroneous packages, those that
cannot be found or are malformed. By default, the list command
prints an error to standard error for each erroneous package and
omits the packages from consideration during the usual printing.
With the -e flag, the list command never prints errors to standard
error and instead processes the erroneous packages with the usual
printing. Erroneous packages will have a non-empty ImportPath and
a non-nil Error field; other information may or may not be missing
(zeroed).
The -export flag causes list to set the Export field to the name of a
file containing up-to-date export information for the given package.
The -find flag causes list to identify the named packages but not
resolve their dependencies: the Imports and Deps lists will be empty.
The -test flag causes list to report not only the named packages
but also their test binaries (for packages with tests), to convey to
source code analysis tools exactly how test binaries are constructed.
The reported import path for a test binary is the import path of
the package followed by a ".test" suffix, as in "math/rand.test".
When building a test, it is sometimes necessary to rebuild certain
dependencies specially for that test (most commonly the tested
package itself). The reported import path of a package recompiled
for a particular test binary is followed by a space and the name of
the test binary in brackets, as in "math/rand [math/rand.test]"
or "regexp [sort.test]". The ForTest field is also set to the name
of the package being tested ("math/rand" or "sort" in the previous
examples).
The Dir, Target, Shlib, Root, ConflictDir, and Export file paths
are all absolute paths.
By default, the lists GoFiles, CgoFiles, and so on hold names of files in Dir
(that is, paths relative to Dir, not absolute paths).
The generated files added when using the -compiled and -test flags
are absolute paths referring to cached copies of generated Go source files.
Although they are Go source files, the paths may not end in ".go".
The -m flag causes list to list modules instead of packages.
When listing modules, the -f flag still specifies a format template
applied to a Go struct, but now a Module struct:
type Module struct {
Path string // module path
Version string // module version
Versions []string // available module versions (with -versions)
Replace *Module // replaced by this module
Time *time.Time // time version was created
Update *Module // available update, if any (with -u)
Main bool // is this the main module?
Indirect bool // is this module only an indirect dependency of main module?
Dir string // directory holding files for this module, if any
GoMod string // path to go.mod file for this module, if any
Error *ModuleError // error loading module
}
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 modules' 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.

type TrackingWriter ¶
type TrackingWriter struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
TrackingWriter tracks the last byte written on every write so we can avoid printing a newline if one was already written or if there is no output at all.
