   The function <varname> buildGoModule </varname> builds Go programs managed with Go modules. It builds a <link xlink:href="https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules">Go modules</link> through a two phase build:
   <itemizedlist>
    <listitem>
     <para>
      An intermediate fetcher derivation. This derivation will be used to fetch all of the dependencies of the Go module.
     </para>
    </listitem>
    <listitem>
     <para>
      A final derivation will use the output of the intermediate derivation to build the binaries and produce the final output.

   To extract dependency information from a Go package in automated way use <link xlink:href="https://github.com/kamilchm/go2nix">go2nix</link>. It can produce complete derivation and <varname>goDeps</varname> file for Go programs.
  </para>

  <para>
   <varname>buildGoPackage</varname> produces <xref linkend='chap-multiple-output' xrefstyle="select: title" /> where <varname>bin</varname> includes program binaries. You can test build a Go binary as follows:
<screen>
<prompt>$ </prompt>nix-build -A deis.bin
</screen>
   or build all outputs with:
<screen>
<prompt>$ </prompt>nix-build -A deis.all

   <varname>bin</varname> output will be installed by default with <varname>nix-env -i</varname> or <varname>systemPackages</varname>.

   You may use Go packages installed into the active Nix profiles by adding the following to your ~/.bashrc:

done
