NAME

       go-vet - report likely mistakes in packages

SYNOPSIS

       go vet [-n] [-x] [-vettool prog] [build flags] [vet flags] [packages]

DESCRIPTION

       Vet runs the Go vet command on the packages named by the import paths.

       For more about vet and its flags, see 'go doc cmd/vet'.
       For more about specifying packages, see go-packages(7).
       For a list of checkers and their flags, see 'go tool vet help'.
       For details of a specific checker such as 'printf', see 'go tool vet help printf'.

OPTIONS

       -n     The -n flag prints commands that would be executed.

       -x     The -x flag prints commands as they are executed.

       -vettool=prog
              The -vettool=prog flag selects a different analysis tool with alternative or additional checks.
              For example, the 'shadow' analyzer can be built and run using these commands:

                go install golang.org/x/tools/go/analysis/passes/shadow/cmd/shadow
                go vet -vettool=$(which shadow)

       The  build flags supported by go vet are those that control package resolution and execution, such as -n,
       -x, -v, -tags, and -toolexec.  For more about these flags, see 'go help build'.
