go-fmt - gofmt (reformat) package sources

go fmt [-n] [-x] [packages]

Fmt runs the command ‘gofmt -l -w’ on the packages named by the import paths. It prints the names of the files that are modified.

For more about gofmt, see ‘go doc cmd/gofmt’.
For more about specifying packages, see go-packages(7).

The -n flag prints commands that would be executed.
The -x flag prints commands as they are executed.
The -mod flag’s value sets which module download mode to use: readonly or vendor. See ‘go help modules’ for more.

To run gofmt with specific options, run gofmt itself.
