Examples of methods for determining the directory path where our executable resides.

  • The github.com/kardianos/osext package is used for reference. The other methods will require that the executable is located within the OS search path.

  • The first alternative utilizes exec.LookPath to find the executable within the OS search path. This method depends on the os, os/exec, and path packages.

  • The next method defines a local function to look for the file named in args[0] in the directories listed in the PATH environment variable. This method depends on the os and strings packages.
