package longpath

import "github.com/docker/docker/pkg/longpath"

Package longpath introduces some constants and helper functions for handling long paths in Windows.

Long paths are expected to be prepended with "\\?\" and followed by either a drive letter, a UNC server\share, or a volume identifier.

Index ¶

• Constants
• func AddPrefix(path string) string
• func MkdirTemp(dir, prefix string) (string, error)

Constants ¶

const Prefix = longPathPrefix

Prefix is the longpath prefix for Windows file paths.

Deprecated: this const is only used internally, and will be removed in the next release

Functions ¶

func AddPrefix ¶

func AddPrefix(path string) string

AddPrefix adds the Windows long path prefix to the path provided if it does not already have it.

func MkdirTemp ¶

func MkdirTemp(dir, prefix string) (string, error)

MkdirTemp is the equivalent of os.MkdirTemp, except that on Windows the result is in Windows longpath format. On Unix systems it is equivalent to os.MkdirTemp.
