gotype - syntatic and semantic analysis of Go files

       This manual page was written by Michael Stapelberg <stapelberg@debian.org>, for the Debian  project  (and
       may be used by others).

                                                   2013-12-02                                          GOTYPE(1)

       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.

       To check the files a.go, b.go, and c.go:

             gotype a.go b.go c.go

       To check an entire package in the directory dir and print the processed files:

             gotype -v dir

       To check an entire package including tests in the local directory:

             gotype -a .

       To verify the output of a pipe:

             echo "package foo" | gotype

-a     use all (incl. _test.go) files when processing a directory

       -ast   print AST (forces -seq)

       -comments
              parse comments (ignored unless -ast or -trace is provided)

       -e     report all errors (not just the first 10)

       -seq   parse sequentially, rather than in parallel

       -trace print parse trace (forces -seq)

       -v     verbose mode
