Where can I find fmt and the main package?

The conversation continues 2 ↓

Lots of go examples begin with :

package main
import "fmt"

The GOPATH I use:

echo $GOPATH
/home/fernuser/go

Where are main and the fmt module stored?

  2. For the fmt module, look in /usr/local/go/src/fmt/.

    Writing package main identifies this file as belonging to an executable program. For library code, that declaration would instead read package <name of the library>
