fileutils

Package fileutils provides useful, high-level file operations.

Details

• IsFile & IsDir checks if file/directory exits
• CopyFile copies a file from source to destination
• CopyDir copies all files recursively from the source to destination directory
• ListFiles returns sorted slice of file paths in directory
• TempFileName returns a new temporary file name
• SanitizePath cleans file path

Functions

func CopyDir

func CopyDir(src string, dst string) error

CopyDir copies all files from src to dst, recursively

func CopyFile

func CopyFile(src string, dst string) error

CopyFile copies a file from source to dest. Any existing file will be overwritten and attributes will not be copied

func IsDir

func IsDir(dirname string) bool

IsDir returns true if directory exists

func IsFile

func IsFile(filename string) bool

IsFile returns true if filename exists

func ListFiles

func ListFiles(directory string) (list []string, err error)

ListFiles gets recursive list of all files in a directory

func SanitizePath

func SanitizePath(s string) string

SanitizePath removes invalid characters from path

func TempFileName

func TempFileName(dir, pattern string) (string, error)

TempFileName returns a new temporary file name in the directory dir. The filename is generated by taking pattern and adding a random string to the end. If pattern includes a "*", the random string replaces the last "*". If dir is the empty string, TempFileName uses the default directory for temporary files (see os.TempDir). Multiple programs calling TempFileName simultaneously will not choose the same file name. some code borrowed from stdlib https://golang.org/src/io/ioutil/tempfile.go
