.SH NAME
gotype \- syntatic and semantic analysis of Go files
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B gotype
.RI [ flags ]
.RI [
.IR "path ..."
.RI ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
The gotype command does syntactic and semantic analysis of Go files
and packages like the front-end of a Go compiler. Errors are reported
if the analysis fails; otherwise gotype is quiet (unless -v is set).
Without a list of paths, gotype reads from standard input, which
must provide a single Go source file defining a complete package.
If a single path is specified that is a directory, gotype checks
the Go files in that directory; they must all belong to the same
package.
Otherwise, each path must be the filename of Go file belonging to
the same package.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-a
use all (incl. _test.go) files when processing a directory
.TP
.B \-ast
print AST (forces -seq)
.TP
.B \-comments
parse comments (ignored unless -ast or -trace is provided)
.TP
.B \-e
report all errors (not just the first 10)
.TP
.B \-seq
parse sequentially, rather than in parallel
.TP
.B \-trace
print parse trace (forces -seq)
.TP
.B \-v
verbose mode
.SH EXAMPLES
To check the files a.go, b.go, and c.go:
.Vb 6
\& gotype a.go b.go c.go
.Ve
To check an entire package in the directory dir and print the processed files:
.Vb 6
\& gotype -v dir
.Ve
To check an entire package including tests in the local directory:
.Vb 6
\& gotype -a .
.Ve
To verify the output of a pipe:
.Vb 6
\& echo "package foo" | gotype
.Ve
