     1  # go-homedir
     2  
     3  This is a Go library for detecting the user's home directory without
     4  the use of cgo, so the library can be used in cross-compilation environments.
     5  
     6  Usage is incredibly simple, just call `homedir.Dir()` to get the home directory
     7  for a user, and `homedir.Expand()` to expand the `~` in a path to the home
     8  directory.

    10  **Why not just use `os/user`?** The built-in `os/user` package requires
    11  cgo on Darwin systems. This means that any Go code that uses that package
    12  cannot cross compile. But 99% of the time the use for `os/user` is just to
    13  retrieve the home directory, which we can do for the current user without
    14  cgo. This library does that, enabling cross-compilation.
