For more about
vet and its flags, see ’go doc cmd/vet’.
For more about specifying packages, see
go-packages(7).
For a list of checkers and their flags, see ’go tool
vet help’.
For details of a specific checker such as

OPTIONS
|
-n |
The -n flag prints commands that would be executed. |
|||
|
-x |
The -x flag prints commands as they are executed. |
-vettool=prog
The -vettool=prog flag selects
a different analysis tool with alternative or additional
checks.
For example, the ’shadow’ analyzer can be built
and run using these commands:
go install
golang.org/x/tools/go/analysis/passes/shadow/cmd/shadow
go vet -vettool=$(which shadow)
The build flags supported by go vet are those that control package resolution and execution, such as -n, -x, -v, -tags, and -toolexec. For more about these flags, see ’go help build’.
