directories 0.8.3

A tiny library that provides platform-specific standard locations of directories for config, cache, etc. data on Linux, Windows and macOS 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 Directory rules on macOS.
Documentation
//! The _directories_ crate is
//!
//! - a tiny library with a minimal API (3 structs, 4 factory functions, getters)
//! - that provides the platform-specific, user-accessible locations
//! - for finding and 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](https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html) and the [XDG user directory](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs/) specifications on Linux,
//! - the [Known Folder](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb776911(v=vs.85).aspx) system on Windows, and
//! - the [Standard Directories](https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/FileSystemProgrammingGuide/FileSystemOverview/FileSystemOverview.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010672-CH2-SW6) on macOS.
