Mojo function

expanduser

expanduser[PathLike: PathLike, //](path: PathLike) -> String

Expands a tilde "~" prefix in path to the user's home directory.

For example, ~/folder becomes /home/current_user/folder. On macOS and Linux a path starting with ~user/ will expand to the specified user's home directory, so ~user/folder becomes /home/user/folder.

If the home directory cannot be determined, or the path is not prefixed with "~", the original path is returned unchanged.

Parameters:

• ​PathLike (PathLike): The type conforming to the os.PathLike trait.

Args:

• ​path (PathLike): The path that is being expanded.

Returns:

The expanded path.
