+<p>
+There is a suite of programs to build and process Go source code.
+Instead of being run directly, programs in the suite are usually invoked
+by the <a href="/cmd/go/">go</a> program.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The most common way to run these programs is as a subcommand of the go program,
+for instance as <code>go fmt</code>. Run like this, the command operates on
+complete packages of Go source code, with the go program invoking the
+underlying binary with arguments appropriate to package-level processing.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The programs can also be run as stand-alone binaries, with unmodified arguments,
+using the go <code>tool</code> subcommand, such as <code>go tool vet</code>.
+This style of invocation allows, for instance, checking a single source file
+rather than an entire package: <code>go tool vet myprogram.go</code> as
+compared to <code>go vet mypackage</code>.
+Some of the commands, such as <code>pprof</code>, are accessible only through
+the go <code>tool</code> subcommand.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Finally the <code>fmt</code> and <code>godoc</code> commands are installed
+as regular binaries called <code>gofmt</code> and <code>godoc</code> because
+they are so often referenced.
