✨ file::home — the manual page bestie 💖

ok so you found file::home(n) and honestly? it's giving main character energy for the tiniest little command ever. it's a manual page from tcllib, and it does exactly one thing, but it does it flawlessly. periodt. 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

file::home — file home — returns the home directory of the current user or of some other user. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🏠✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

package require Tcl 8.x

package require fhome ?1?

file home ?user?

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ok bestie listen. Tcl 9 has a built-in file home command (it came from TIP 602), and if you're still living your life on Tcl 8.x, you were lowkey missing out. so this package is a forward-compatibility implementation of that command. no cap. it backports the whole thing so your 8.x code can pretend it's living in the future. 🕰️➡️🔮

  • file home ?user? — the one and only star of the show 👑
    • with no argument, it returns the home directory of the current user. just you. your little corner of the filesystem. 🏡
    • with an argument, it returns the home directory of the specified user. yes, you can be nosy (respectfully). 🙈

💀 BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK 💀

ngl, this document and the package it describes will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems. every manpage says this and every manpage is right. 😭 so please report them in the category file of the Tcllib Trackers:

http://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/reportlist

also please report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either the package and/or the documentation. we love ideas. ideas are iconic. 💡🫶

when proposing code changes, please provide unified diffs, i.e. the output of diff -u. fr fr, that's the format.

⚠️ note further that attachments are strongly preferred over inlined patches. you can attach stuff by going to the Edit form of the ticket immediately after its creation, and then using the left-most button in the secondary navigation bar. yes, that specific button. the left-most one. it's the main character of the navigation bar. 💅
