Functions

func CleanPath

func CleanPath(path string) string

CleanPath makes a path safe for use with filepath.Join. This is done by not only cleaning the path, but also (if the path is relative) adding a leading '/' and cleaning it (then removing the leading '/'). This ensures that a path resulting from prepending another path will always resolve to lexically be a subdirectory of the prefixed path. This is all done lexically, so paths that include symlinks won't be safe as a result of using CleanPath.
