Overview ¶

Package paths centralizes home-directory resolution and path expansion.

All home-dir lookups should go through this package instead of calling os.UserHomeDir directly, so tests can stub UserHomeDir and behavior stays consistent (tilde + env expansion) across commands.

Variables ¶

var UserHomeDir = os.UserHomeDir

UserHomeDir is mockable for testing. Defaults to os.UserHomeDir.

Functions ¶

func Expand ¶

func Expand(path string) string

Expand expands a leading "~" and environment variables in path. "~" alone maps to home; "~/x" maps to $HOME/x. Other values pass through os.ExpandEnv unchanged. On home lookup failure the input is returned with env expansion only.

func Home ¶

func Home() (string, error)

Home returns the current user's home directory.

func JoinHome ¶

func JoinHome(elem ...string) (string, error)

JoinHome joins elem onto the home directory.

func MustHome ¶

func MustHome() string

MustHome returns the home directory or an empty string on error. Use when a best-effort fallback path is acceptable (e.g. display defaults).
