Gofmt formats Go programs.

Without an explicit path, it processes the standard input.  Given a file,
it operates on that file; given a directory, it operates on all .go files in
that directory, recursively.  (Files starting with a period are ignored.)

Usage:
	gofmt [flags] [path ...]

The flags are:

	-l
		just list files whose formatting differs from gofmt's; generate no other output
		unless -w is also set.
	-r rule
		apply the rewrite rule to the source before reformatting.
	-w
		if set, overwrite each input file with its output.
	-spaces
		align with spaces instead of tabs.
	-tabindent
		indent with tabs independent of -spaces.
	-tabwidth=8
		tab width in spaces.

Debugging flags:

	-trace
		print parse trace.
	-ast
		print AST (before rewrites).
	-comments=true
		print comments; if false, all comments are elided from the output.

The rewrite rule specified with the -r flag must be a string of the form:

	pattern -> replacement

Both pattern and replacement must be valid Go expressions.
In the pattern, single-character lowercase identifiers serve as
wildcards matching arbitrary sub-expressions; those expressions
will be substituted for the same identifiers in the replacement.


Examples

To check files for unnecessary parentheses:

	gofmt -r '(a) -> a' -l *.go

To remove the parentheses:

	gofmt -r '(a) -> a' -w *.go

To convert the package tree from explicit slice upper bounds to implicit ones:

	gofmt -r 'α[β:len(α)] -> α[β:]' -w $GOROOT/src/pkg
