go-tool: Run the go link tool.
$ go tool link ${path-to-main-o}
try on your machine
The command "go tool link" is used in the Go programming language to link object files and create an executable binary file.
In the given command, "${path-to-main-o}" refers to the path of the main object file (usually a ".o" file) generated by the Go compiler after compiling the Go source code.
By running the command "go tool link ${path-to-main-o}", the Go linker is invoked with the specified object file as input. The linker performs various tasks like resolving symbols, combining object files, and generating the final executable binary file.
Essentially, this command takes the compiled object file produced by the Go compiler and links it with other necessary libraries and dependencies to create the final executable that can be run.
