Functions

func ExpandTilde

func ExpandTilde(path string) (string, error)

func HideFile

func HideFile(path string) error

func InWritableDir

func InWritableDir(fn func(string) error, path string) error

InWritableDir calls fn(path), while making sure that the directory containing `path` is writable for the duration of the call.

func Rename

func Rename(from, to string) error

Rename renames a file, while trying hard to succeed on various systems by temporarily tweaking directory permissions and removing the destination file when necessary. Will make sure to delete the from file if the operation fails, so use only for situations like committing a temp file to it's final location.
