Rob Pike 92cdcd90bf godoc: choose a smaller-output example as help when there are unexpected arguments
Change CL 153869 added a help message when there are leftover arguments,
as that used to invoke the command-line interface that is now gone.
But the example in the help text (go doc -all net/http) generates a huge
amount of output.

Use a very simple, small-output example instead, to illustrate how to
solve the problem without scrolling the program description hundreds
of screenfuls away.

Go Tools

This subrepository holds the source for various packages and tools that support the Go programming language.

Some of the tools, godoc and vet for example, are included in binary Go distributions.

Others, including the Go guru and the test coverage tool, can be fetched with go get.

Packages include a type-checker for Go and an implementation of the Static Single Assignment form (SSA) representation for Go programs.

Download/Install

The easiest way to install is to run go get -u golang.org/x/tools/.... You can also manually git clone the repository to $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tools.
