Functions

func Base

func Base(path string) string

Base returns the last element of path

Example
Output:

project

func Clean

func Clean(path string) string

Clean returns the shortest path name equivalent to path by purely lexical processing

Example
Output:

/project/abc

func Compact

func Compact(path string) string

Compact converts path to compact representation (e.g /some/random/directory/file.txt → /s/r/d/file.txt)

Example
Output:

/h/u/j/file.zip

func Dir

func Dir(path string) string

Dir returns all but the last element of path, typically the path's directory

Example
Output:

/home/user

func DirN

func DirN(path string, n int) string

DirN returns first N elements of path

Example
Output:

Config dir (→): /home/user/project/config
Config dir (←): /home/user/project/config
Bin dir (→): /usr/sbin
Bin dir (←): /usr/sbin

func Ext

func Ext(path string) string

Ext returns the file name extension used by path

Example
Output:

.zip

func IsAbs

func IsAbs(path string) bool

IsAbs reports whether the path is absolute

Example
Output:

true

func IsDotfile

func IsDotfile(path string) bool

IsDotfile returns true if file name begins with a full stop

Example
Output:

/home/user/project/file is dotfile → false
/home/user/project/.file is dotfile → true

func IsGlob

func IsGlob(pattern string) bool

IsGlob returns true if given pattern is Unix-like glob

Example
Output:

file is glob → false
*.file is glob → true

func IsSafe

func IsSafe(path string) bool

IsSafe returns true is given path is safe to use (not points to system dirs)

Example
Output:

/home/user/project is safe → true
/usr/sbin/myapp is safe → false

func Join

func Join(elem ...string) string

Join joins any number of path elements into a single path, adding a separating slash if necessary

Example
Output:

/home/user/project/app1/main.go

func JoinSecure

func JoinSecure(root string, elem ...string) (string, error)

JoinSecure joins all elements of path, makes lexical processing, and evaluating all symlinks. Method returns error if final destination is not a child path of root.

Example
Output:

/home/user/project/app2/main.go

func Match

func Match(pattern, name string) (matched bool, err error)

Match reports whether name matches the shell file name pattern

Example
Output:

true <nil>

func Split

func Split(path string) (dir, file string)

Split splits path immediately following the final slash, separating it into a directory and file name component

Example
Output:

/home/user/john/ file.zip
