.SH NAME
go \- tool for managing Go source code
.SH DESCRIPTION
The Go path is used to resolve import statements.
It is implemented by and documented in the go/build package.
The GOPATH environment variable lists places to look for Go code.
On Unix, the value is a colon-separated string.
On Windows, the value is a semicolon-separated string.
On Plan 9, the value is a list.
GOPATH must be set to build and install packages outside the
standard Go tree.
Each directory listed in GOPATH must have a prescribed structure:
The src/ directory holds source code. The path below 'src'
determines the import path or executable name.
The pkg/ directory holds installed package objects.
As in the Go tree, each target operating system and
architecture pair has its own subdirectory of pkg
(pkg/GOOS_GOARCH).
If DIR is a directory listed in the GOPATH, a package with
source in DIR/src/foo/bar can be imported as "foo/bar" and
has its compiled form installed to "DIR/pkg/GOOS_GOARCH/foo/bar.a".
The bin/ directory holds compiled commands.
Each command is named for its source directory, but only
the final element, not the entire path. That is, the
command with source in DIR/src/foo/quux is installed into
DIR/bin/quux, not DIR/bin/foo/quux. The foo/ is stripped
so that you can add DIR/bin to your PATH to get at the
installed commands. If the GOBIN environment variable is
set, commands are installed to the directory it names instead
of DIR/bin.
Here's an example directory layout:
.Vb 4
\& GOPATH=/home/user/gocode
\&
\& /home/user/gocode/
\& src/
\& foo/
\& bar/ (go code in package bar)
\& x.go
\& quux/ (go code in package main)
\& y.go
\& bin/
\& quux (installed command)
\& pkg/
\& linux_amd64/
\& foo/
\& bar.a (installed package object)
.Ve
Go searches each directory listed in GOPATH to find source code,
but new packages are always downloaded into the first directory
in the list.
