+
+Govet does simple checking of Go source code.
+
+It checks for simple errors in calls to functions named
+	Print Printf Println
+	Fprint Fprintf Fprintln
+	Sprint Sprintf Sprintln
+	Error Errorf
+	Fatal Fatalf
+If the function name ends with an 'f', the function is assumed to take
+a format descriptor string in the manner of fmt.Printf. If not, govet
+complains about arguments that look like format descriptor strings.
+
+Usage:
+
+	govet [flag] [file.go ...]
+	govet [flag] [directory ...] # Scan all .go files under directory, recursively
+
+The flags are:
+	-v
+		Verbose mode
+	-printfuncs
+		A comma-separated list of print-like functions to supplement
+		the standard list.  Each entry is in the form Name:N where N
+		is the zero-based argument position of the first argument
+		involved in the print: either the format or the first print
+		argument for non-formatted prints.  For example,
+		if you have Warn and Warnf functions that take an
+		io.Writer as their first argument, like Fprintf,
+			-printfuncs=Warn:1,Warnf:1
