directory tree. When gofix rewrites a file, it prints a line to standard
error giving the name of the file and the rewrite applied.
+If the -diff flag is set, no files are rewritten. Instead gofix prints
+the differences a rewrite would introduce.

The -r flag restricts the set of rewrites considered to those in the
named list. By default gofix considers all known rewrites. Gofix's
rewrites are idempotent, so that it is safe to apply gofix to updated
Gofix does not make backup copies of the files that it edits.
Instead, use a version control system's ``diff'' functionality to inspect
the changes that gofix makes before committing them.

Without an explicit path, it processes the standard input. Given a file,
it operates on that file; given a directory, it operates on all .go files in
that directory, recursively. (Files starting with a period are ignored.)
+By default, gofmt prints the reformatted sources to standard output.
Usage:
gofmt [flags] [path ...]
The flags are:
+ -d
+ Do not print reformatted sources to standard output.
+ If a file's formatting is different than gofmt's, print diffs
+ to standard output.
-l
- just list files whose formatting differs from gofmt's;
- generate no other output unless -w is also set.
+ Do not print reformatted sources to standard output.
+ If a file's formatting is different from gofmt's, print its name
+ to standard output.
-r rule
- apply the rewrite rule to the source before reformatting.
+ Apply the rewrite rule to the source before reformatting.
-s
- try to simplify code (after applying the rewrite rule, if any).
+ Try to simplify code (after applying the rewrite rule, if any).
-w
- if set, overwrite each input file with its output.
+ Do not print reformatted sources to standard output.
+ If a file's formatting is different from gofmt's, overwrite it
+ with gofmt's version.
-comments=true
- print comments; if false, all comments are elided from the output.
+ Print comments; if false, all comments are elided from the output.
-spaces
- align with spaces instead of tabs.
+ Align with spaces instead of tabs.
-tabindent
- indent with tabs independent of -spaces.
+ Indent with tabs independent of -spaces.
-tabwidth=8
- tab width in spaces.
+ Tab width in spaces.
The rewrite rule specified with the -r flag must be a string of the form:
