func Checksum

func Checksum(algorithm string, data []byte) (checksum string, err error)

Checksum returns the checksum of some data, using a specified algorithm. It only returns an error when an invalid algorithm is used. The valid ones are MD5, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, SHA3224, SHA3256, SHA3384, and SHA3512.

func FileHasPermissions

func FileHasPermissions(expectedPerms string, path string) (bool, error)

FileHasPermissions checks to see whether the file/directory/etc. at the given path has the given permissions (of the format -rwxrwxrwx)

func IsDirectory

func IsDirectory(path string) (bool, error)

IsDirectory checks to see if there's a regular ol' directory at path.

func IsFile

func IsFile(path string) (bool, error)

IsFile checks to see if there's a regular ol' file at path.

func IsSymlink

func IsSymlink(path string) (bool, error)

IsSymlink checks to see if there's a symlink at path.
