Functions ¶
func Exists ¶ added in v1.0.0
Returns whether the given path exists regardless of what mode the pointed to file has.
Example ¶
Checking if temporary files and directories created are said to exist by the Exists function.
// We create a temporary file and a temporary directory to test the function.
tmpFile, _ := ioutil.TempFile("", "tmpFile")
tmpDir, _ := ioutil.TempDir("", "tmpDir")
// Checking tmpFile
fmt.Println("Checking file (before removal):", Exists(tmpFile.Name()))
// Removing the file should result in "false" from Exists
_ = os.Remove(tmpFile.Name())
fmt.Println("Checking file (after removal):", Exists(tmpFile.Name()))
// Checking tmpDir
fmt.Println("Checking directory (before removal):", Exists(tmpDir))
// Removing the file should result in "false" from Exists
_ = os.RemoveAll(tmpDir)
fmt.Println("Checking directory (after removal):", Exists(tmpDir))
Output: Checking file (before removal): true Checking file (after removal): false Checking directory (before removal): true Checking directory (after removal): false
func IsDir ¶ added in v1.0.0
Checks if the given path exists a directory.
Returns true if the path given exists and it points to a directory, false otherwise.
Example ¶
Checking if a temporary directory made exists and comparing outputs to a temporary file.
// We create a temporary file and a temporary directory to test the function.
tmpFile, _ := ioutil.TempFile("", "tmpFile")
tmpDir, _ := ioutil.TempDir("", "tmpDir")
// Checking tmpDir
fmt.Println("Checking directory (before removal):", IsDir(tmpDir))
// Removing the directory should result in "false" from IsDir
_ = os.RemoveAll(tmpDir)
fmt.Println("Checking directory (after removal):", IsDir(tmpDir))
// Checking tmpFile (both should be false)
fmt.Println("Checking file (before removal):", IsDir(tmpFile.Name()))
_ = os.Remove(tmpFile.Name())
fmt.Println("Checking file (after removal):", IsDir(tmpFile.Name()))
Output: Checking directory (before removal): true Checking directory (after removal): false Checking file (before removal): false Checking file (after removal): false
func IsFile ¶ added in v1.0.0
Checks if the given path exists and whether the path points to a file.
Returns true if the path exists and the path points to a file, otherwise false.
Example ¶
Checking if a temporary file made exists and comparing outputs to a temporary directory.
// We create a temporary file and a temporary directory to test the function.
tmpFile, _ := ioutil.TempFile("", "tmpFile")
tmpDir, _ := ioutil.TempDir("", "tmpDir")
// Checking tmpFile
fmt.Println("Checking file (before removal):", IsFile(tmpFile.Name()))
// Removing the file should result in "false" from IsFile
_ = os.Remove(tmpFile.Name())
fmt.Println("Checking file (after removal):", IsFile(tmpFile.Name()))
// Checking tmpDir (both should be false)
fmt.Println("Checking directory (before removal):", IsFile(tmpDir))
_ = os.RemoveAll(tmpDir)
fmt.Println("Checking directory (after removal):", IsFile(tmpDir))
Output: Checking file (before removal): true Checking file (after removal): false Checking directory (before removal): false Checking directory (after removal): false
