go-realpath

Realpath for Go. This finds the true path of a file or directory, resolving any symbolic links.

It adds some extra features to the yookoala library's filepath package. Instead of manually iterating over the path components, it uses the filepath.Abs, filepath.Clean function to do it for you. It also evaluates symbolic links.

Installation

go get github.com/gandarez/go-realpath

Usage

    rp, err := realpath.Realpath("/some/path")
}
