func Expand ¶

func Expand(orig string) (string, error)

Expand expands a path like "~", "~/", "~/foo". Paths like "~foo/bar" are unsupported.

FIXME: is there an existing library for this?

func IsTildePath ¶

func IsTildePath(path string) bool

IsTildePath returns true if the path is "~" or starts with "~/". This means Expand() can expand it with the home directory.
