Functions

func Folder

func Folder() (string, error)

Folder returns the folder under which the executable is located, after having resolved all symlinks to the executable. Unlike os.Executable and osext.ExecutableFolder, Folder will resolve the symlinks across all platforms.

func FolderAllowSymlinkFailure

func FolderAllowSymlinkFailure() (string, error)

FolderAllowSymlinkFailure returns the folder under which the executable is located, without resolving symbolic links.

func ResolvePath

func ResolvePath(execName string) (string, error)

ResolvePath resolves the absolute path to the executable program with the given name in the argument. Returns error if the program's path cannot be resolved.
