Short: "explain why packages or modules are needed",
Long: `
Why shows a shortest path in the import graph from the main module to
each of the listed packages. If the -m flag is given, why treats the
arguments as a list of modules and finds a path to any package in each
of the modules.
By default, why queries the graph of packages matched by "go list all",
which includes tests for reachable packages. The -vendor flag causes why
to exclude tests of dependencies.
The output is a sequence of stanzas, one for each package or module
name on the command line, separated by blank lines. Each stanza begins
with a comment line "# package" or "# module" giving the target
package or module. Subsequent lines give a path through the import
graph, one package per line. If the package or module is not
referenced from the main module, the stanza will display a single
parenthesized note indicating that fact.
For example:
$ go mod why golang.org/x/text/language golang.org/x/text/encoding
# golang.org/x/text/language
rsc.io/quote
rsc.io/sampler
golang.org/x/text/language
# golang.org/x/text/encoding
(main module does not need package golang.org/x/text/encoding)
