The godoc -http=:${6060}
is a command used to run the godoc tool and start a local web server that serves the Go documentation on a specified port.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
godoc
: This is the executable for the godoc tool, which is a command-line program used for viewing and searching the Go documentation. -
-http=:${6060}
: This flag is used to specify the HTTP server configuration for godoc. The value after the equal sign (:
) specifies the host and port number to run the server on. In this case,${6060}
is used as a placeholder for a variable representing the port number 6060. This means that the godoc web server will start on port 6060 of the local machine.
When you execute this command, the godoc tool will start a local web server, and you can then access the Go documentation by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:6060
(assuming the command was run locally).
