expanduser

Similar to the python stdlib function os.path.expanduser, the function in this crate attempts to create a path while expanding ~ and ~user.

Installation

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

expanduser = "1.2"

and add this to your crate root:

extern crate expanduser;

Usage

extern crate expanduser;

use std::io;
use expanduser::expanduser;

fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
    let path = expanduser("~/path/to/directory")?;
    assert_eq!(path.display().to_string(), "/home/foo/path/to/directory");
}
