Involved Source Files
	
		Package format implements standard formatting of Go source.

		Note that formatting of Go source code changes over time, so tools relying on
		consistent formatting should execute a specific version of the gofmt binary
		instead of using this package. That way, the formatting will be stable, and
		the tools won't need to be recompiled each time gofmt changes.

		For example, pre-submit checks that use this package directly would behave
		differently depending on what Go version each developer uses, causing the
		check to be inherently fragile.

Package-Level Functions (total 2)


	
		Node formats node in canonical gofmt style and writes the result to dst.

		The node type must be *ast.File, *printer.CommentedNode, []ast.Decl,
		[]ast.Stmt, or assignment-compatible to ast.Expr, ast.Decl, ast.Spec,
		or ast.Stmt. Node does not modify node. Imports are not sorted for
		nodes representing partial source files (for instance, if the node is
		not an *ast.File or a *printer.CommentedNode not wrapping an *ast.File).

		The function may return early (before the entire result is written)
		and return a formatting error, for instance due to an incorrect AST.


	
		Source formats src in canonical gofmt style and returns the result
		or an (I/O or syntax) error. src is expected to be a syntactically
		correct Go source file, or a list of Go declarations or statements.

		If src is a partial source file, the leading and trailing space of src
		is applied to the result (such that it has the same leading and trailing
		space as src), and the result is indented by the same amount as the first
		line of src containing code. Imports are not sorted for partial source files.
