About Go Doc
Visual Studio Code Go Doc
A Visual Studio Code extension for showing Go symbol and package documentation in the Output panel.
Configuration
The extension uses the registered Go hover provider in VS Code to retrieve documentation for the symbol under the cursor.
For the best results, install and enable:
• Go extension for VS Code • gopls in your Go workspace
If hover-based documentation is unavailable, the command prints troubleshooting steps in the Output panel instead of failing with a low-level tool error.

Description from the VS Code Marketplace listing.
- Definition
- documentation
