GO-CLEAN(1) General Commands Manual GO-CLEAN(1)
NAME
go - tool for managing Go source code
SYNOPSIS
go clean [-i] [-r] [-n] [-x] [ packages ]
DESCRIPTION
Clean removes object files from package source directories. The go command builds most objects in a temporary directory, so go clean is
mainly concerned with object files left by other tools or by manual invocations of go build.
Specifically, clean removes the following files from each of the source directories corresponding to the import paths:
_obj/ old object directory, left from Makefiles
_test/ old test directory, left from Makefiles
_testmain.go
old gotest file, left from Makefiles
test.out
old test log, left from Makefiles
build.out
old test log, left from Makefiles
*.[568ao]
object files, left from Makefiles
DIR(.exe)
from go build
DIR.test(.exe)
from go test -c
MAINFILE(.exe)
from go build MAINFILE.go
In the list, DIR represents the final path element of the directory, and MAINFILE is the base name of any Go source file in the directory
that is not included when building the package.
OPTIONS
-i The -i flag causes clean to remove the corresponding installed archive or binary (what 'go install' would create).
-n The -n flag causes clean to print the remove commands it would execute, but not run them.
-r The -r flag causes clean to be applied recursively to all the dependencies of the packages named by the import paths.
-x The -x flag causes clean to print remove commands as it executes them.
For more about specifying packages, see go-packages(7).
