xdg

Package xdg provides access to the FreeDesktop.org (XDG) specs.

Documentation

Documentation is available via godoc. Here are direct links to the documentation pages for each package:

• xdg - Provides xdg.Open function to call xdg-open command.
• xdg/basedir - Provides access to the xdg basedir spec.
• xdg/desktop - Read desktop files (w/ localization support).
• xdg/keyfile - Provides access to xdg key file format (w/ localization support).
• xdg/trash - Provides access to xdg trash spec.
• xdg/userdirs - Provides access to common user directories.

Testing

Tests can be run with go test.

The tests for the xdg/trash package expect the trash to exist ($XDG_DATA_HOME/Trash/files (or $HOME/.local/share/Trash/files if $XDG_DATA_HOME is undefined)).

The tests for the xdg/userdirs package require the xdg-user-dir command.

TODO

• autostart
• desktop.Launch (in progress on desktop-launch branch)
• trash.New (requires checking for a "sticky bit" on the filesystem of the drive on which the trash exists; in addition to other (easier) checks)
