godoc: Use the given index file to search the docs.
$ godoc -http=:${6060} -index -index_files=${filename}
try on your machine
The command you provided is godoc -http=:${6060} -index -index_files=${filename}
. Here's a breakdown:
godoc
:godoc
is a command-line tool in Go programming language used for generating and displaying Go documentation from source code.-http=:${6060}
: This flag is used to specify the address and port number where the godoc webserver should listen for HTTP requests. In this case, the value${6060}
indicates that the port number is 6060.-index
: This flag specifies that an index of identifiers should be built and made available for searching.-index_files=${filename}
: This flag specifies one or more comma-separated file patterns to scan for additional package documentation. Here,${filename}
indicates the name of the file to be used for indexing.
So overall, the godoc -http=:${6060} -index -index_files=${filename}
command starts the godoc webserver, instructs it to listen on port 6060, builds an index of identifiers, and scans the specified file (indicated by ${filename}
) for additional package documentation.
