How to check if a path is a symbolic link using the path package in Golang?

To check if a path is a symbolic link using the path package in Golang, you need to use the os package as well. Here's an example of how you can do it:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"
	"path/filepath"
)

func main() {
	path := "path_to_symbolic_link"

	linkPath, err := filepath.EvalSymlinks(path)
	if err != nil {
		// handle error
	}

	// Compare linkPath with path to check if it is a symbolic link
	isSymbolicLink := linkPath != path

	if isSymbolicLink {
		fmt.Println("Path is a symbolic link")
	} else {
		fmt.Println("Path is not a symbolic link")
	}
}

In this example, filepath.EvalSymlinks() is used to resolve the symbolic links and get the actual path for the given path. If linkPath is equal to path, it means that the path is not a symbolic link. Otherwise, it is a symbolic link.
