The godoc
command is a command-line tool in Go programming language that is used to generate documentation for Go packages. The godoc
tool can serve as a web server that presents the Go package documentation in a user-friendly format.
In the given command godoc -write_index -index_files=${filename}
, the -write_index
flag instructs godoc
to write an index file. The index file is an essential part of godoc
as it enables quick and efficient searching within the generated documentation.
The -index_files=${filename}
flag is used to specify the filename for the index file. The ${filename}
is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual filename you want to use for the index file.
In summary, this command generates Go package documentation using godoc
and writes an index file with the specified filename to facilitate fast searching within the documentation.
