Godoc extracts and generates documentation for Go programs.

It has two modes.

Without the -http flag, it runs in command-line mode and prints plain text
documentation to standard output and exits. If the -src flag is specified,
godoc prints the exported interface of a package in Go source form, or the
implementation of a specific exported language entity:

	godoc fmt                # documentation for package fmt
	godoc fmt Printf         # documentation for fmt.Printf
	godoc -src fmt           # fmt package interface in Go source form
	godoc -src fmt Printf    # implementation of fmt.Printf

In command-line mode, the -q flag enables search queries against a godoc running
as a webserver. If no explicit server address is specified with the -server flag,
godoc first tries localhost:6060 and then http://golang.org.

	godoc -q Reader Writer
	godoc -q math.Sin
	godoc -server=:6060 -q sin

With the -http flag, it runs as a web server and presents the documentation as a
web page.

	godoc -http=:6060

Usage:
	godoc [flag] package [name ...]

The flags are:
	-v
		verbose mode
	-q
		arguments are considered search queries: a legal query is a
		single identifier (such as ToLower) or a qualified identifier
		(such as math.Sin).
	-src
		print (exported) source in command-line mode
	-tabwidth=4
		width of tabs in units of spaces
	-timestamps=true
		show timestamps with directory listings
	-index
		enable identifier and full text search index
		(no search box is shown if -index is not set)
	-maxresults=10000
		maximum number of full text search results shown
		(no full text index is built if maxresults <= 0)
	-path=""
		additional package directories (colon-separated)
	-html
		print HTML in command-line mode
	-goroot=$GOROOT
		Go root directory
	-http=addr
		HTTP service address (e.g., '127.0.0.1:6060' or just ':6060')
	-server=addr
		webserver address for command line searches
	-sync="command"
		if this and -sync_minutes are set, run the argument as a
		command every sync_minutes; it is intended to update the
		repository holding the source files.
	-sync_minutes=0
		sync interval in minutes; sync is disabled if <= 0
	-filter=""
		filter file containing permitted package directory paths
	-filter_minutes=0
		filter file update interval in minutes; update is disabled if <= 0

The -path flag accepts a list of colon-separated paths; unrooted paths are relative
to the current working directory. Each path is considered as an additional root for
packages in order of appearance. The last (absolute) path element is the prefix for
the package path. For instance, given the flag value:

	path=".:/home/bar:/public"

for a godoc started in /home/user/godoc, absolute paths are mapped to package paths
as follows:

	/home/user/godoc/x -> godoc/x
	/home/bar/x        -> bar/x
	/public/x          -> public/x

Paths provided via -path may point to very large file systems that contain
non-Go files. Creating the subtree of directories with Go packages may take
a long amount of time. A file containing newline-separated directory paths
may be provided with the -filter flag; if it exists, only directories
on those paths are considered. If -filter_minutes is set, the filter_file is
updated regularly by walking the entire directory tree.

When godoc runs as a web server, it creates a search index from all .go files
under -goroot (excluding files starting with .). The index is created at startup
and is automatically updated every time the -sync command terminates with exit
status 0, indicating that files have changed.

If the sync exit status is 1, godoc assumes that it succeeded without errors
but that no files changed; the index is not updated in this case.

In all other cases, sync is assumed to have failed and godoc backs off running
sync exponentially (up to 1 day). As soon as sync succeeds again (exit status 0
or 1), the normal sync rhythm is re-established.
