In Go, you can get the current directory's path using the os package. Here's an example to get the current working directory:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
)
func main() {
dir, err := os.Getwd()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println("Directory:", dir)
}
The os.Getwd() function returns a string value which represents the current working directory. If there is any error fetching the working directory, it will return an error object. In the above code snippet, we are first fetching the current working directory using os.Getwd(), storing it in a variable named dir, and then printing it using fmt.Println().
Another way to get the directory path is to pass a relative or absolute path to os.Open(). Here's an example:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
)
func main() {
dir, err := os.Open(".")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer dir.Close()
fileInfo, err := dir.Stat()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println("Directory:", fileInfo.Name())
}
In the above code snippet, we are using os.Open() to open the current working directory by passing . as an argument. We are then closing the directory handle using defer, and fetching the directory information using dir.Stat(). Finally, we are printing the directory name from the fileInfo variable using fmt.Println().
