-# go-homedir
-
-This is a Go library for detecting the user's home directory without
-the use of cgo, so the library can be used in cross-compilation environments.
-
-Usage is incredibly simple, just call `homedir.Dir()` to get the home directory
-for a user, and `homedir.Expand()` to expand the `~` in a path to the home
-directory.
-
-**Why not just use `os/user`?** The built-in `os/user` package is not
-available on certain architectures such as i386 or PNaCl. Additionally
-it has a cgo dependency on Darwin systems. This means that any Go code
-that uses that package cannot cross compile. But 99% of the time the
-use for `os/user` is just to retrieve the home directory, which we can
-do for the current user without cgo. This library does that, enabling
-cross-compilation.
