Introduction

libpath is a multi-platform path parsing library. The first libpath library was a C library with a C++ wrapper. There have been several implementations in other languages. libpath.Go is the Go version.

Installation

Install via go get, as in:

go get "github.com/synesissoftware/libpath.Go"

and then import as:

import libpath "github.com/synesissoftware/libpath.Go"

or, simply, as:

import"github.com/synesissoftware/libpath.Go"

Components

The library is organised into platform-specific parsing packages and shared types:

• parse/unix — ClassifyRoot(), ParsePathStringFlags() for Unix path strings;
• parse/windows — ClassifyRoot(), ParsePathStringFlags() for Windows path strings;
• parse/common — shared PathDescriptor, ParseFlags, and related types.

See EXAMPLES.md and examples/parse_path.md for parsing under ambient, Unix, and Windows interpretation.

Examples

Examples are provided in the examples directory, along with a markdown description for each. A detailed list TOC of them is provided in EXAMPLES.md.
