README

tilde

Expand tilde ~ to home dir.

The expansion happens only when tilde is at the beginning of the input string, and follows this specific flow:

On windows at first HOME is used, and if it's not present or is empty, there goes %USERPROFILE% (via os.UserHomeDir). It allows for having HOME pointed to some extra layer like Cygwin environment.

On other systems expansion uses os.UserHomeDir directly, so it is $HOME on Unix or $home on Plan9.
