Functions

func CopyFile

func CopyFile(src, dst string) error

CopyFile duplicates the contents of `src` and writes it to a file at `dst` with the same permissions The parent dirs of `dst` are assumed to exist. Adapted From: https://gist.github.com/r0l1/92462b38df26839a3ca324697c8cba04

func Exists

func Exists(path string) bool

Exists returns true if the give path represents a file or directory

func HomeDir

func HomeDir() string

HomeDir returns the user's home directory

This isn't guarenteed to be non-empty as users can often change this.

func IsExecutable

func IsExecutable(path string) bool

IsExecutable checks if a given path exists, is a file, not a symlink, and has its owner's executable bit set

func MirrorDir

func MirrorDir(src, dst string) error

MirrorDir will take a `src` directory and mirror it exactly under `dst` location. If no errors occur during the mirroring `nil` is returned, otherwise an non-nil error Adapted From: https://gist.github.com/r0l1/92462b38df26839a3ca324697c8cba04 - Symlinks are copied

func SortFileInfos

func SortFileInfos(fis []os.FileInfo)

func SortNames

func SortNames(ss []string)

func SudoCopyFile

func SudoCopyFile(src, dst string) error

SudoCopyFile attempts to copy a file (and wraps CopyFile), but if required will escalate to higher permissions in order to copy a file.
