2	Flags from go build (SOURCE: go help build)
3	-a	bool		force rebuilding of packages that are already up-to-date.		YES	NO	YES	go-build
4	-n	bool		print the commands but do not run them.		YES	NO	YES	go-build			Test
6	-race	bool		enable data race detection. Supported only on linux/amd64, freebsd/amd64, darwin/amd64, windows/amd64, linux/ppc64le and linux/arm64 (only for 48-bit VMA).		YES	NO	YES	code-and-coverage-analysis
7	-msan	bool		enable interoperation with memory sanitizer. Supported only on linux/amd64, linux/arm64 and only with Clang/LLVM as the host C compiler. On linux/arm64, pie build mode will be used.		YES	NO	YES	go-build
9	-work	bool		print the name of the temporary work directory and do not delete it when exiting.		YES	NO	YES	go-build
10	-x	bool		print the commands.		YES	NO	YES	go-build			Test this to make sure it works
11	-asmflags	string	'[pattern=]arg list'	arguments to pass on each go tool asm invocation.		YES	NO	YES	go-build
12	-buildmode	string	mode	build mode to use. See 'go help buildmode' for more.		YES	NO	YES	go-build
13	-compiler	string	name	name of compiler to use, as in runtime.Compiler (gccgo or gc).		YES	NO	YES	go-build
14	-gccgoflags	string	'[pattern=]arg list'	arguments to pass on each gccgo compiler/linker invocation.		YES	NO	YES	go-build
15	-gcflags	string	'[pattern=]arg list'	arguments to pass on each go tool compile invocation.		YES	NO	YES	go-build
16	-installsuffix	string		a suffix to use in the name of the package installation directory, in order to keep output separate from default builds. If using the -race flag, the install suffix is automatically set to raceor, if set explicitly, has _race appended to it. Likewise for the -msan flag. Using a -buildmode option that requires non-default compile flags has a similar effect.		YES	NO	YES	go-build
17	-ldflags	string	'[pattern=]arg list'	arguments to pass on each go tool link invocation.		YES	NO	YES	go-build
18	-linkshared	bool		build code that will be linked against shared libraries previously created with -buildmode=shared.		YES	NO	YES	go-build
19	-mod mode	string	mode (readonly, vender, or mod)	module download mode to use: readonly, vendor, or mod. See 'go help modules' for more.		YES	NO	YES	go-build
20	-modcacherw	bool		leave newly-created directories in the module cache read-write instead of making them read-only.		YES	NO	YES	go-build
21	-modfile	string	file	in module aware mode, read (and possibly write) an alternate go.mod file instead of the one in the module root directory. A file named go.mod must still be present in order to determine the module root directory, but it is not accessed. When -modfile is specified, an alternate go.sum file is also used: its path is derived from the -modfile flag by trimming the ".mod" extension and appending ".sum".		YES	NO	YES	go-build
22	-pkgdir	string	dir	install and load all packages from dir instead of the usual locations. For example, when building with a non-standard configuration, use -pkgdir to keep generated packages in a separate location.		YES	NO	YES	go-build
23	-tags	string	tag,list	a comma-separated list of build tags to consider satisfied during the build. For more information about build tags, see the description of build constraints in the documentation for the go/build package. (Earlier versions of Go used a space-separated list, and that form is deprecated but still recognized.)		YES	NO	YES	go-build
24	-trimpath	bool		remove all file system paths from the resulting executable. Instead of absolute file system paths, the recorded file names will begin with either "go" (for the standard library), or a module path@version (when using modules), or a plain import path (when using GOPATH).		YES	NO	YES	go-build
25	-toolexec	string	'cmd args'	a program to use to invoke toolchain programs like vet and asm. For example, instead of running asm, the go command will run cmd args /path/to/asm <arguments for asm>'.		YES	NO	YES	go-build
26	Flags from go test (SOURCE: go test -asdf, with docs from go help testflag merged in)
30	-test.blockprofile	string	file	write a goroutine blocking profile to file	Write a goroutine blocking profile to the specified file when all tests are complete. Writes test binary as -c would.	NO	YES	YES	performance-analysis		YES	Go test does not support multiple packages.
31	-test.blockprofilerate	int	rate	set blocking profile rate (see runtime.SetBlockProfileRate)	Control the detail provided in goroutine blocking profiles by calling runtime.SetBlockProfileRate with rate. See 'go doc runtime.SetBlockProfileRate'. The profiler aims to sample, on average, one blocking event every n nanoseconds the program spends blocked. By default, if -test.blockprofile is set without this flag, all blocking events are recorded, equivalent to -test.blockprofilerate=1.	NO	YES	YES	performance-analysis
33	-test.coverprofile	string	file	write a coverage profile to file	Write a coverage profile to the file after all tests have passed. Sets -cover.	NO	YES	YES	code-and-coverage-analysis
35	-test.cpuprofile	string	file	write a cpu profile to file	Write a CPU profile to the specified file before exiting. Writes test binary as -c would.	NO	YES	YES	performance-analysis		YES	Go test does not support multiple packages.
38	-test.memprofile	string	file	write an allocation profile to file	Write an allocation profile to the file after all tests have passed. Writes test binary as -c would.	NO	YES	YES	performance-analysis		YES	Go test does not support multiple packages.
39	-test.memprofilerate	int	rate	set memory allocation profiling rate (see runtime.MemProfileRate)	Enable more precise (and expensive) memory allocation profiles by setting runtime.MemProfileRate. See 'go doc runtime.MemProfileRate'. To profile all memory allocations, use -test.memprofilerate=1.	NO	YES	YES	performance-analysis
40	-test.mutexprofile	string	file	write a mutex contention profile to the named file after execution	Write a mutex contention profile to the specified file when all tests are complete. Writes test binary as -c would.	NO	YES	YES	performance-analysis		YES	Go test does not support multiple packages.
41	-test.mutexprofilefraction	int	n	if >= 0, calls runtime.SetMutexProfileFraction()	Sample 1 in n stack traces of goroutines holding a contended mutex.	NO	YES	YES	performance-analysis
48	-test.trace	string	file	write an execution trace to file	Write an execution trace to the specified file before exiting.	NO	YES	YES	performance-analysis	execution-trace		Go test does not support multiple packages.
50	Additional go test flags from go help testflag (SOURCE: go help testflag)
51	-cover	bool		Enable coverage analysis.	Note that because coverage works by annotating the source code before compilation, compilation and test failures with coverage enabled may report line numbers that don't correspond to the original sources.	YES	NO	YES	code-and-coverage-analysis
52	-covermode	string	set,count,atomic	Set the mode for coverage analysis for the package[s] being tested.	The default is "set" unless -race is enabled, in which case it is "atomic". The values: set: bool: does this statement run? count: int: how many times does this statement run? atomic: int: count, but correct in multithreaded tests; significantly more expensive. Sets -cover	YES	NO	YES	code-and-coverage-analysis
53	-coverpkg	string	pattern1,pattern2,pattern3	Apply coverage analysis in each test to packages matching the patterns.	The default is for each test to analyze only the package being tested. See 'go help packages' for a description of package patterns. Sets -cover.	YES	NO	YES	code-and-coverage-analysis
54	-vet	string	list	Configure the invocation of "go vet" during "go test" to use the comma-separated list of vet checks.	If list is empty, "go test" runs "go vet" with a curated list of checks believed to be always worth addressing. If list is "off", "go test" does not run "go vet" at all.	YES	NO	YES	code-and-coverage-analysis
