Crate directories

The directories crate is

• a tiny library with a minimal API (2 structs, 3 factory functions, getters)
• that provides the platform-specific, user-accessible locations
• for storing configuration, cache and other data
• on Linux, Windows (≥ Vista) and macOS.

The library provides the location of these directories by leveraging the mechanisms defined by

• the XDG base directory and the XDG user directory specifications on Linux,
• the Known Folder system on Windows, and
• the Standard Directories on macOS.

Structs

BaseDirs	BaseDirs provides paths to standard directories, following the conventions of the operating system the library is running on.
ProjectDirs	ProjectDirs computes the location of cache, config or data directories for a specific application, which are derived from the standard directories and the name of the project/organization.
