Here, We will see how to list all files and folders in a directory in go. We can do it by using ReadDir() function in ioutil package in go golang.
Function prototype:
func ReadDir(dirname string) ([]os.FileInfo, error)
dirname : directory name
ReadDir() reads the directory named by dirname and returns a list of directory entries sorted by filename.
Return value:
ReadDir() function in ioutil package returns
a list of directory entries sorted by filename.
Example with code:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"io/ioutil"
"log"
)
func main() {
dir_path := "/Users/"
files, err := ioutil.ReadDir(dir_path)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
for _, file := range files {
fmt.Println(file.Name())
}
}
Output:
$ sudo go run sample.go .localized Shared john hello.go
