Functions

func MaybePrefixLongFilenameOnWindows

func MaybePrefixLongFilenameOnWindows(fname string) string

MaybePrefixLongFilenameOnWindows prefixes the given filename with \\?\ on Windows if the filename is longer than 260 characters, which is required to be able to use some low-level Windows APIs. Because long file names have certain limitations: - we must replace forward slashes with backslashes. - dummy path element (\.\) must be removed.

func Write

func Write(filename string, r io.Reader) error

Write is a wrapper around atomic.WriteFile that handles long file names on Windows.
