godoc: Display help for package "fmt".
$ godoc ${fmt}
try on your machine

The command "godoc ${fmt}" is used to access the documentation for the "fmt" package in Go.

GoDoc is a tool provided by the Go programming language that generates documentation for Go packages. It extracts documentation from Go source files and presents it in a web page format. The "godoc" command followed by a package name or import path allows you to access the documentation for that specific package.

In this case, "${fmt}" may be a placeholder for the actual import path of the "fmt" package. The dollar sign "$" is often used in Unix-like shells as a variable prefix. So, if you replace "${fmt}" with the actual import path, the command becomes "godoc fmt" which will display the documentation for the "fmt" package.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
