homedir

func Get ¶

func Get() string

Get returns the home directory of the current user with the help of environment variables depending on the target operating system. Returned path should be used with "path/filepath" to form new paths.

On non-Windows platforms, it falls back to nss lookups, if the home directory cannot be obtained from environment-variables.

If linking statically with cgo enabled against glibc, ensure the osusergo build tag is used.

If needing to do nss lookups, do not disable cgo or set osusergo.

func GetConfigHome ¶

func GetConfigHome() (string, error)

GetConfigHome returns XDG_CONFIG_HOME. GetConfigHome returns $HOME/.config and nil error if XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set. If HOME and XDG_CONFIG_HOME are not set, getpwent(3) is consulted to determine the users home directory.
