Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?
Yes
What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?
N/A
What did you do?
go help packages
What did you expect to see?
Documentation explaining how to specify package paths in the usual mode that the go command is used (module mode).
What did you see instead?
Paragraphs like this, which apply only in GOPATH mode
with apparently no explanation of what the behaviour is in module mode:
Otherwise, the import path P denotes the package found in
the directory DIR/src/P for some DIR listed in the GOPATH
environment variable (For more details see: 'go help gopath').
- "all" expands to all packages found in all the GOPATH
trees. For example, 'go list all' lists all the packages on the local
system. When using modules, "all" expands to all packages in
the main module and their dependencies, including dependencies
needed by tests of any of those.
An import path is a pattern if it includes one or more "..." wildcards,
each of which can match any string, including the empty string and
strings containing slashes. Such a pattern expands to all package
directories found in the GOPATH trees with names matching the
patterns.
Looks like an update is needed.
