Dir in Go

Posted by GoDoc

Dir returns all but the last element of path, typically the path's directory. After dropping the final element, Dir calls Clean on the path and trailing slashes are removed. If the path is empty, Dir returns ".". If the path consists entirely of separators, Dir returns a single separator. The returned path does not end in a separator unless it is the root directory.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"path/filepath"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println("On Unix:")
	fmt.Println(filepath.Dir("/foo/bar/baz.js"))
	fmt.Println(filepath.Dir("/foo/bar/baz"))
	fmt.Println(filepath.Dir("/foo/bar/baz/"))
	fmt.Println(filepath.Dir("/dirty//path///"))
	fmt.Println(filepath.Dir("dev.txt"))
	fmt.Println(filepath.Dir("../todo.txt"))
	fmt.Println(filepath.Dir(".."))
	fmt.Println(filepath.Dir("."))
	fmt.Println(filepath.Dir("/"))
	fmt.Println(filepath.Dir(""))
}
