```
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
### pathIsAbs
The function checks whether the given path is an absolute path, returning `true` if it is and `false` if it is not.
Name
Value
Signature
PathIsAbs(str string) bool
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Template Example" %}
```go
{{ "/path/to/file.txt" | pathIsAbs }} // Output: true
{{ "../file.txt" | pathIsAbs }} // Output: false
```

{% endtabs %}
### osBase
The function returns the last element of a given path, using the operating system's specific path separator to determine the path structure.
Name
Value
Signature
OsBase(str string) string
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Template Example" %}
```go
{{ "C:\\path\\to\\file.txt" | osBase }} // Output(will be different): "file.txt"
```
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
### osDir
The function returns all but the last element of a given path, using the operating system's specific path separator to navigate the directory structure.
Name
Value

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Template Example" %}
```go
{{ "C:\\path\\to\\file.txt" | osDir }} // Output(will be different): "C:\\path\\to"
```
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
### osExt
The function returns the file extension of a given path, using the operating system's specific path separator to accurately determine the extension.
Name
Value
Signature
OsExt(str string) string
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Template Example" %}
```go
{{ "C:\\path\\to\\file.txt" | osExt }} // Output: ".txt"
```

{% endtabs %}
### osClean
The function cleans up a given path, using the operating system's specific path separator to simplify redundancies and standardize the path structure.
Name
Value
Signature
OsClean(str string) string

```go
{{ "C:\\path\\\\to\\file.txt" | osClean }} // Output(will be different): "C:\\path\\to\\file.txt"
```
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
### osIsAbs
The function checks whether the given path is absolute, using the operating system's specific path separator to determine if the path is absolute or relative.

Value
Signature
OsIsAbs(str string) bool
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Template Example" %}
```go
{{ "C:\\path\\to\\file.txt" | osIsAbs }} // Output(will be different): true
