NAME

       go - tool for managing Go source code

SYNOPSIS

       go list [-e] [-f format] [-json] [ packages ]

DESCRIPTION

       List lists the packages named by the import paths, one per line.

       The default output shows the package import path:

	     code.google.com/p/google-api-go-client/books/v1
	     code.google.com/p/goauth2/oauth
	     code.google.com/p/sqlite

OPTIONS

       -f     The  -f  flag specifies an alternate format for the list, using the syntax of package template.  The default output is equivalent to
	      -f '{{.ImportPath}}'.  The struct being passed to the template is:

		    type Package struct {
			Dir	   string // directory containing package sources
			ImportPath string // import path of package in dir
			Name	   string // package name
			Doc	   string // package documentation string
			Target	   string // install path
			Goroot	   bool   // is this package in the Go root?
			Standard   bool   // is this package part of the standard Go library?
			Stale	   bool   // would 'go install' do anything for this package?
			Root	   string // Go root or Go path dir containing this package

			// Source files
			GoFiles  []string  // .go source files (excluding CgoFiles, TestGoFiles, XTestGoFiles)
			CgoFiles []string  // .go sources files that import "C"
			CFiles	 []string  // .c source files
			HFiles	 []string  // .h source files
			SFiles	 []string  // .s source files
			SysoFiles []string // .syso object files to add to archive

			// Cgo directives
			CgoCFLAGS    []string // cgo: flags for C compiler
			CgoLDFLAGS   []string // cgo: flags for linker
			CgoPkgConfig []string // cgo: pkg-config names

			// Dependency information
			Imports []string // import paths used by this package
			Deps	[]string // all (recursively) imported dependencies

			// Error information
			Incomplete bool 	   // this package or a dependency has an error
			Error	   *PackageError   // error loading package
			DepsErrors []*PackageError // errors loading dependencies

			TestGoFiles  []string // _test.go files in package
			TestImports  []string // imports from TestGoFiles
			XTestGoFiles []string // _test.go files outside package
			XTestImports []string // imports from XTestGoFiles
		    }

       -json  The -json flag causes the package data to be printed in JSON format instead of using the template format.

       -e     The -e flag changes the handling of erroneous packages, those that cannot be found or are malformed.  By default, the  list  command
	      prints  an  error  to standard error for each erroneous package and omits the packages from consideration during the usual printing.
	      With the -e flag, the list command never prints errors to standard error and instead processes the erroneous packages with the usual
	      printing.   Erroneous packages will have a non-empty ImportPath and a non-nil Error field; other information may or may not be miss-
	      ing (zeroed).

       For more about specifying packages, see go-packages(7).
