  Description     : report the Go toolchain version used to build an executable

A Go library and command-line tool that inspects compiled executables
 and reports the Go toolchain version used to build them. It parses ELF, Mach-O
 and PE binaries directly, and can also list the modules and module hashes
 embedded in a binary's build information, or report which crypto libraries
 were linked in.
 .
 This is a fork of Russ Cox's rsc.io/goversion, extended to read an executable
 from an io.Reader rather than only from a file on disk. syft uses the library
 half of it to identify Go binaries during scanning.
 .
 This package is a build dependency of syft (ITP https://bugs.debian.org/1124819).

I intend to maintain this package within the Debian Go Packaging Team.
