Functions

func AddExtPrefix

func AddExtPrefix(path string, extPrefix string) string

AddExtPrefix adds a prefix to the path's file extension and returns a new path.

For example: AddExtPrefix("foo/bar/baz.js", ".bak") = "foo/bar/baz.bak.js"

func Copy

func Copy(from, to string) error

Copy copies the file from a source path to a destination path, overwriting the destination if it already exists.

func FileLines

func FileLines(path string) ([]string, error)

FileLines reads in a file and returns it as an array of lines.

func SubstituteHomeAndXdg

func SubstituteHomeAndXdg(path string) string

SubstituteHomeDir takes a path that might be prefixed with `~`, or may contain XDG variables, and substitutes them with the appropriate path.

func SubstituteHomeDir

func SubstituteHomeDir(path string) string

SubstituteHomeDir takes a path that might be prefixed with `~`, and returns the path with the `~` replaced by the user's home directory.

When running inside a Flatpak, we use executil.Command to fetch $HOME from the host system.
