Command gopack

Gopack program is a variant of the Plan 9 ar tool. The original is documented at

http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/1/ar

It adds a special Go-specific section __.PKGDEF that collects all the Go type information from the files in the archive; that section is used by the compiler when importing the package during compilation.

Usage: gopack [uvnbailo][mrxtdpq] archive files ...

The new option 'g' causes gopack to maintain the __.PKGDEF section as files are added to the archive.
