cmd/go: better UI for go doc
Print it out much like godoc so there isn't a single block of text. Print the symbol before its comment and indent the comment so individual symbols separate visually. Buffer the output. Add a -c option to force case-sensitive matching. Allow two arguments, like godoc, to help disambiguate cases where path and symbol may be confused. Improve the documentation printed by go help doc.

Usage:
|
||||
|
||||
go doc [-u] [package|[package.]symbol[.method]]
|
||||
go doc [-u] [-c] [package|[package.]symbol[.method]]
|
||||
|
||||
Doc accepts at most one argument, indicating either a package, a symbol within a
|
||||
package, or a method of a symbol.
|
||||
Doc prints the documentation comments associated with the item identified by its
|
||||
arguments (a package, const, func, type, var, or method) followed by a one-line
|
||||
summary of each of the first-level items "under" that item (package-level declarations
|
||||
for a package, methods for a type, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||
Doc accepts zero, one, or two arguments.
|
||||
|
||||
Given no arguments, that is, when run as
|
||||
|
||||
go doc
|
||||
|
||||
it prints the package documentation for the package in the current directory.
|
||||
|
||||
When run with one argument, the argument is treated as a Go-syntax-like representation
|
||||
of the item to be documented. What the argument selects depends on what is installed
|
||||
in GOROOT and GOPATH, as well as the form of the argument, which is schematically
|
||||
one of these:
|
||||
|
||||
go doc <pkg>
|
||||
go doc <sym>[.<method>]
|
||||
go doc [<pkg>].<sym>[.<method>]
|
||||
|
||||
Doc interprets the argument to see what it represents, determined by its syntax
|
||||
and which packages and symbols are present in the source directories of GOROOT and
|
||||
GOPATH.
|
||||
|
||||
The first item in this list that succeeds is the one whose documentation is printed.
|
||||
For packages, the order of scanning is determined lexically, however the GOROOT
|
||||
tree is always scanned before GOPATH.
|
||||
The first item in this list matched by the argument is the one whose documentation
|
||||
is printed. (See the examples below.) For packages, the order of scanning is
|
||||
determined lexically, but the GOROOT tree is always scanned before GOPATH.
|
||||
|
||||
If there is no package specified or matched, the package in the current directory
|
||||
is selected, so "go doc" shows the documentation for the current package and
|
||||
"go doc Foo" shows the documentation for symbol Foo in the current package.
|
||||
is selected, so "go doc Foo" shows the documentation for symbol Foo in the current
|
||||
package.
|
||||
|
||||
Doc prints the documentation comments associated with the top-level item the
|
||||
argument identifies (package, type, method) followed by a one-line summary of each
|
||||

When run with two arguments, the first must be a full package path (not just a

match exactly. This means that there may be multiple matches in a package if

different symbols have different cases. If this occurs, documentation for all

matches is printed.

Doc accepts at most one argument, indicating either a package, a symbol within a
|

package, or a method of a symbol.
|
||||
|

Doc prints the documentation comments associated with the item identified by its
|
||||
arguments (a package, const, func, type, var, or method) followed by a one-line
|
||||
summary of each of the first-level items "under" that item (package-level declarations

for a package, methods for a type, etc.).
|

|

Doc accepts zero, one, or two arguments.
|
||||
|
||||
Given no arguments, that is, when run as
|
||||
|
||||
go doc
|
||||
|
||||
it prints the package documentation for the package in the current directory.
|
||||
|
||||
When run with one argument, the argument is treated as a Go-syntax-like representation
|
||||
of the item to be documented. What the argument selects depends on what is installed
|
||||
in GOROOT and GOPATH, as well as the form of the argument, which is schematically
|
||||
one of these:
|
||||
|
||||
go doc <pkg>
|
||||
go doc <sym>[.<method>]
|
||||
go doc [<pkg>].<sym>[.<method>]
|
||||
|
||||
Doc interprets the argument to see what it represents, determined by its syntax
|
||||
and which packages and symbols are present in the source directories of GOROOT and
|
||||
GOPATH.
|
||||
|
||||
The first item in this list that succeeds is the one whose documentation is printed.
|
||||
For packages, the order of scanning is determined lexically, however the GOROOT
|
||||
tree is always scanned before GOPATH.
|
||||
The first item in this list matched by the argument is the one whose documentation
|
||||
is printed. (See the examples below.) For packages, the order of scanning is
|
||||
determined lexically, but the GOROOT tree is always scanned before GOPATH.
|
||||
|
||||
If there is no package specified or matched, the package in the current directory
|
||||
is selected, so "go doc" shows the documentation for the current package and
|
||||
"go doc Foo" shows the documentation for symbol Foo in the current package.
|
||||
is selected, so "go doc Foo" shows the documentation for symbol Foo in the current
