Usage: oracle [<flag> ...] <mode> <args> ...

The -format flag controls the output format:
	plain	an editor-friendly format in which every line of output
		is of the form "pos: text", where pos is "-" if unknown.
	json	structured data in JSON syntax.
	xml	structured data in XML syntax.

The -pos flag is required in all modes except 'callgraph'.

The mode argument determines the query to perform:

	callees	  	show possible targets of selected function call
	callers	  	show possible callers of selected function
	callgraph 	show complete callgraph of program
	callstack 	show path from callgraph root to selected function
	describe  	describe selected syntax: definition, methods, etc
	freevars  	show free variables of selection
	implements	show 'implements' relation for selected package
	peers     	show send/receive corresponding to selected channel op
	referrers 	show all refs to entity denoted by selected identifier

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

Examples:

Describe the syntax at offset 530 in this file (an import spec):
% oracle -pos=src/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/oracle/main.go:#530 describe \
   golang.org/x/tools/cmd/oracle

Print the callgraph of the trivial web-server in JSON format:
% oracle -format=json $GOROOT/src/net/http/triv.go callgraph
