NAME

       golang-guru - Go source code guru

SYNOPSIS

       golang-guru [ flag ...  ] mode position

DESCRIPTION

       The mode argument determines the query to perform:

       callees       show possible targets of selected function call

       callers       show possible callers of selected function

       callstack     show path from callgraph root to selected function

       definition    show declaration of selected identifier

       describe      describe selected syntax: definition, methods, etc

       freevars      show free variables of selection

       implements    show 'implements' relation for selected type or method

       peers         show send/receive corresponding to selected channel op

       pointsto      show variables the selected pointer may point to

       referrers     show all refs to entity denoted by selected identifier

       what          show basic information about the selected syntax node

       whicherrs     show possible values of the selected error variable

       The  position  argument  specifies  the  filename and byte offset (or range) of the syntax
       element to query.  For example:

            foo.go:#123,#128
            bar.go:#123

       The user manual is available here:  http://golang.org/s/using-guru

OPTIONS

       -cpuprofile
              Write CPU profile to file.

       -format format
              Output format:

              plain An editor-friendly format in which every line of output is of the form  "pos:
              text", where pos is "-" if unknown. This is the default.

              json Structured data in JSON syntax.

              xml Structured data in XML syntax.

       -modified
              Read archive of modified files from standard input.

              Files  in  this archive will be used in preference to those in the file system.  In
              this way, a text editor may supply guru with the contents of its  unsaved  buffers.
              Each  archive  entry  consists  of the file name, a newline, the decimal file size,
              another newline, and the contents of the file.

       -ptalog file
              Write points-to analysis log to file.

       -reflect
              Analyze reflection soundly (slow).

       -scope packages
              Comma-separated list of packages the analysis should be limited to.  Its value is a
              comma-separated list of patterns of these forms:
                   golang.org/x/tools/cmd/guru   # a single package
                   golang.org/x/tools/...        # all packages beneath dir
                   ...                 # the entire workspace.

              A pattern preceded by '-' is negative, so the scope
                   encoding/...,-encoding/xml
              matches all encoding packages except encoding/xml.

       -tags build_tags
              A  list  of build tags to consider satisfied during the build. For more information
              about build tags, see the description of build constraints in the documentation for
              the go/build package (default <tagsFlag>).

EXAMPLES

       Describe the syntax at offset 530 in this file (an import spec):

             golang-guru describe src/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/guru/main.go:#530
