dirs 6.0.0

A tiny low-level library that provides platform-specific standard locations of directories for config, cache and other data on Linux, Windows, macOS and Redox by leveraging the mechanisms defined by the XDG base/user directory specifications on Linux, the Known Folder API on Windows, and the Standard Directory guidelines on macOS.
Documentation
//! The _dirs_ crate is
//!
//! - a tiny library with a minimal API (18 public functions)
//! - that provides the platform-specific, user-accessible locations
//! - for finding and storing configuration, cache and other data
//! - on Linux, Redox, 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.

/// Returns the path to the user's home directory.

/// The returned value depends on the operating system and is either a `Some`, containing a value from the following table, or a `None`.
///
/// |Platform | Value                | Example        |
/// | ------- | -------------------- | -------------- |
/// | Linux   | `$HOME`              | /home/alice    |
/// | macOS   | `$HOME`              | /Users/Alice   |

///
/// ### Linux and macOS:
///
/// - Use `$HOME` if it is set and not empty.
/// - If `$HOME` is not set or empty, then the function `getpwuid_r` is used to determine
///   the home directory of the current user.
/// - If `getpwuid_r` lacks an entry for the current user id or the home directory field is empty,
///   then the function returns `None`.
///
/// ### Windows:
///
/// This function retrieves the user profile folder using `SHGetKnownFolderPath`.
///
/// All the examples on this page mentioning `$HOME` use this behavior.
///
/// _Note:_ This function's behavior differs from [`std::env::home_dir`],
/// which works incorrectly on Linux, macOS and Windows.
