Is there any way to access the full path of a std.fs.Dir
struct? I've looked through all of the methods in the source but I can't find anything that gets path-related information on the directory.
Zig recommends against getting the absolute path of a file/directory, and is considering removing the ability from the standard library: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/19353
Until then:
One option is realpath
const std = @import("std");
pub fn main() !void {
var arena = std.heap.ArenaAllocator.init(std.heap.page_allocator);
defer arena.deinit();
const alloc = arena.allocator();
std.log.info("cwd: {s}", .{
try std.fs.cwd().realpathAlloc(alloc, "."),
});
}
realpath internally calls std.os.getFdPath
and there doesn't seem to be any function on Dir that just does that right now.
