Another option that you might want to consider is using //go:embed directives to embed those files in your binary. (package doc: https://pkg.go.dev/embed) This way you never need to resolve anything relative to the binary again. Note: unless you use mlock(2) embedding in the binary shouldn't bloat memory usage, since the data will only be paged into memory at first-access. > > Thanks! > > Leam > > -- > Site Automation Engineer (reuel.net/resume) > Scribe: The Domici War (domiciwar.net) > General Ne'er-do-well (github.com/LeamHall) > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "golang-nuts" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to golang-nuts+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/golang-nuts/7d8cf3dc-14ab-315f-ce5a-9e3cca877e17%40gmail.com > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
