I created an application that I want to run invisibly in the background (no command / cmd console). How do I do this?

The documentation found online says I can compile with something along the lines of,
go build -ldflags -Hwindowsgui filename.go
But this gives an error: unknown flag -Hwindowsgui
With more recent (1.1?) versions of the compiler, this should work:
go build -ldflags -H=windowsgui filename.go
When I continued searching around I found a note that the official documentation should be updated soon, but in the meantime there are a lot of older-style example answers out there that error.
