File paths

Context

The path/filepath package provides cross‑platform path manipulation: joining, splitting, cleaning, and relative paths.

Example

Join paths, get base and directory.

Code example

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "path/filepath"
)

func main() {
    path := filepath.Join("dir", "subdir", "file.txt")
    fmt.Println("Joined:", path)

    fmt.Println("Base:", filepath.Base(path))
    fmt.Println("Dir:", filepath.Dir(path))
    fmt.Println("Ext:", filepath.Ext(path))
    fmt.Println("Abs?", filepath.IsAbs(path))
}

Output

Joined: dir/subdir/file.txt
Base: file.txt
Dir: dir/subdir
Ext: .txt
Abs? false
