NAME¶
go - tool for managing Go source code
SYNOPSIS¶
go clean [-i] [-r] [-n] [-x] [
packages ]
DESCRIPTION¶
Clean removes object files from package source directories. The go command
builds most objects in a temporary directory, so go clean is mainly concerned
with object files left by other tools or by manual invocations of go build.
Specifically, clean removes the following files from each of the source
directories corresponding to the import paths:
- _obj/
- old object directory, left from Makefiles
- _test/
- old test directory, left from Makefiles
- _testmain.go
- old gotest file, left from Makefiles
- test.out
- old test log, left from Makefiles
- build.out
- old test log, left from Makefiles
- *.[568ao]
- object files, left from Makefiles
- DIR(.exe)
- from go build
- DIR.test(.exe)
- from go test -c
- MAINFILE(.exe)
- from go build MAINFILE.go
In the list, DIR represents the final path element of the directory, and
MAINFILE is the base name of any Go source file in the directory that is not
included when building the package.
OPTIONS¶
- -i
- The -i flag causes clean to remove the corresponding installed archive or
binary (what 'go install' would create).
- -n
- The -n flag causes clean to print the remove commands it would execute,
but not run them.
- -r
- The -r flag causes clean to be applied recursively to all the dependencies
of the packages named by the import paths.
- -x
- The -x flag causes clean to print remove commands as it executes
them.

go-packages(7).
