The go doc command is a tool provided by the Go programming language to extract and display documentation for Go packages.

The command go doc -all -src ${encoding-json} specifically retrieves the documentation and source code information for the encoding/json package.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • go doc: Invokes the Go documentation tool.
  • -all: Causes go doc to display documentation for exported as well as unexported symbols in the specified package.
  • -src: Specifies that the command should display the source code information in addition to the documentation.
  • ${encoding-json}: Represents a placeholder for the package name being requested. In this case, it refers to the encoding/json package.

By executing this command, you will see the documentation and source code details for the encoding/json package in your console or terminal window.
