Vendoring in std and cmd
========================

The Go command maintains copies of external packages needed by the
standard library in the src/vendor and src/cmd/vendor directories.

There are two modules, std and cmd, defined in src/go.mod and
src/cmd/go.mod. When a package outside std or cmd is imported
by a package inside std or cmd, the import path is interpreted
as if it had a "vendor/" prefix. For example, within "crypto/tls",

/misc/cgo/life/run.out
/misc/cgo/stdio/run.out
/misc/cgo/testso/main
/pkg/
/src/*.*/
/src/cmd/cgo/zdefaultcc.go
/src/cmd/dist/dist
/src/cmd/go/internal/cfg/zdefaultcc.go
/src/cmd/internal/objabi/zbootstrap.go
/src/go/build/zcgo.go
/src/go/doc/headscan
/src/internal/buildcfg/zbootstrap.go
/src/runtime/internal/sys/zversion.go
/src/unicode/maketables
/src/time/tzdata/zzipdata.go
/test.out
/test/garbage/*.out
/test/pass.out

Files in this directory are data for Go's API checker ("go tool api", in src/cmd/api).

Each file is a list of API features, one per line.

go1.txt (and similarly named files) are frozen once a version has been
shipped. Each file adds new lines but does not remove any.

except.txt lists features that may disappear without breaking true
compatibility.

Starting with go1.19.txt, each API feature line must end in "#nnnnn"
