Exported Type Names


	 type WalkFunc (func)
		WalkFunc is the type of the function called for each file or directory
		visited by Walk. The path argument contains the argument to Walk as a
		prefix; that is, if Walk is called with "dir", which is a directory
		containing the file "a", the walk function will be called with argument
		"dir/a". The info argument is the os.FileInfo for the named path.

		If there was a problem walking to the file or directory named by path, the
		incoming error will describe the problem and the function can decide how
		to handle that error (and Walk will not descend into that directory). In the
		case of an error, the info argument will be nil. If an error is returned,
		processing stops. The sole exception is when the function returns the special
		value SkipDir. If the function returns SkipDir when invoked on a directory,
		Walk skips the directory's contents entirely. If the function returns SkipDir
		when invoked on a non-directory file, Walk skips the remaining files in the
		containing directory.

Exported Values


	 func Abs(path string) (string, error)
		Abs returns an absolute representation of path.
		If the path is not absolute it will be joined with the current
		working directory to turn it into an absolute path. The absolute
		path name for a given file is not guaranteed to be unique.
		Abs calls Clean on the result.


	 func Base(path string) string
		Base returns the last element of path.
		Trailing path separators are removed before extracting the last element.
		If the path is empty, Base returns ".".
		If the path consists entirely of separators, Base returns a single separator.


	 func Clean(path string) string
		Clean returns the shortest path name equivalent to path
		by purely lexical processing. It applies the following rules
		iteratively until no further processing can be done:

			1. Replace multiple Separator elements with a single one.
			2. Eliminate each . path name element (the current directory).
			3. Eliminate each inner .. path name element (the parent directory)
			   along with the non-.. element that precedes it.
			4. Eliminate .. elements that begin a rooted path:
			   that is, replace "/.." by "/" at the beginning of a path,
			   assuming Separator is '/'.

		The returned path ends in a slash only if it represents a root directory,
		such as "/" on Unix or `C:\` on Windows.

		Finally, any occurrences of slash are replaced by Separator.

		If the result of this process is an empty string, Clean
		returns the string ".".

		See also Rob Pike, ``Lexical File Names in Plan 9 or
		Getting Dot-Dot Right,''
		https://9p.io/sys/doc/lexnames.html


	 func Dir(path string) string
		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.


	  var ErrBadPattern error
		ErrBadPattern indicates a pattern was malformed.



	 func Ext(path string) string
		Ext returns the file name extension used by path.
		The extension is the suffix beginning at the final dot
		in the final element of path; it is empty if there is
		no dot.


	 func FromSlash(path string) string
		FromSlash returns the result of replacing each slash ('/') character
		in path with a separator character. Multiple slashes are replaced
		by multiple separators.


	 func Glob(pattern string) (matches []string, err error)
		Glob returns the names of all files matching pattern or nil
		if there is no matching file. The syntax of patterns is the same
		as in Match. The pattern may describe hierarchical names such as
		/usr/*/bin/ed (assuming the Separator is '/').

		Glob ignores file system errors such as I/O errors reading directories.
		The only possible returned error is ErrBadPattern, when pattern
		is malformed.


	 func HasPrefix(p, prefix string) bool
		HasPrefix exists for historical compatibility and should not be used.

		Deprecated: HasPrefix does not respect path boundaries and
		does not ignore case when required.


	 func IsAbs(path string) bool
		IsAbs reports whether the path is absolute.


	 func Join(elem ...string) string
		Join joins any number of path elements into a single path,
		separating them with an OS specific Separator. Empty elements
		are ignored. The result is Cleaned. However, if the argument
		list is empty or all its elements are empty, Join returns
		an empty string.
		On Windows, the result will only be a UNC path if the first
		non-empty element is a UNC path.


	const ListSeparator = 58


	 func Match(pattern, name string) (matched bool, err error)
		Match reports whether name matches the shell file name pattern.
		The pattern syntax is:

			pattern:
				{ term }
			term:
				'*'         matches any sequence of non-Separator characters
				'?'         matches any single non-Separator character
				'[' [ '^' ] { character-range } ']'
				            character class (must be non-empty)
				c           matches character c (c != '*', '?', '\\', '[')
				'\\' c      matches character c

			character-range:
				c           matches character c (c != '\\', '-', ']')
				'\\' c      matches character c
				lo '-' hi   matches character c for lo <= c <= hi

		Match requires pattern to match all of name, not just a substring.
		The only possible returned error is ErrBadPattern, when pattern
		is malformed.

		On Windows, escaping is disabled. Instead, '\\' is treated as
		path separator.


	 func Rel(basepath, targpath string) (string, error)
		Rel returns a relative path that is lexically equivalent to targpath when
		joined to basepath with an intervening separator. That is,
		Join(basepath, Rel(basepath, targpath)) is equivalent to targpath itself.
		On success, the returned path will always be relative to basepath,
		even if basepath and targpath share no elements.
		An error is returned if targpath can't be made relative to basepath or if
		knowing the current working directory would be necessary to compute it.
		Rel calls Clean on the result.


	const Separator = 47


	  var SkipDir error
		SkipDir is used as a return value from WalkFuncs to indicate that
		the directory named in the call is to be skipped. It is not returned
		as an error by any function.


	 func Split(path string) (dir, file string)
		Split splits path immediately following the final Separator,
		separating it into a directory and file name component.
		If there is no Separator in path, Split returns an empty dir
		and file set to path.
		The returned values have the property that path = dir+file.


	 func SplitList(path string) []string
		SplitList splits a list of paths joined by the OS-specific ListSeparator,
		usually found in PATH or GOPATH environment variables.
		Unlike strings.Split, SplitList returns an empty slice when passed an empty
		string.


	 func ToSlash(path string) string
		ToSlash returns the result of replacing each separator character
		in path with a slash ('/') character. Multiple separators are
		replaced by multiple slashes.


	 func VolumeName(path string) string
		VolumeName returns leading volume name.
		Given "C:\foo\bar" it returns "C:" on Windows.
		Given "\\host\share\foo" it returns "\\host\share".
		On other platforms it returns "".


	 func Walk(root string, walkFn WalkFunc) error
		Walk walks the file tree rooted at root, calling walkFn for each file or
		directory in the tree, including root. All errors that arise visiting files
		and directories are filtered by walkFn. The files are walked in lexical
		order, which makes the output deterministic but means that for very
		large directories Walk can be inefficient.
		Walk does not follow symbolic links.
