Enum PathStrategy 

#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum PathStrategy {
    System,
    Xdg,
    CustomBase(PathBuf),
}

Path resolution strategy.

Determines how configuration and data directories are resolved.

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

System

Use OS-standard directories (default).

• Linux: ~/.config/ (XDG_CONFIG_HOME)
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/
• Windows: %APPDATA%

Xdg

Force XDG Base Directory layout on all platforms.

Respects XDG_CONFIG_HOME / XDG_DATA_HOME when set to an absolute path (relative or empty values are ignored, per the XDG Base Directory specification); otherwise falls back to ~/.config/ for config and ~/.local/share/ for data on all platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows).

This is useful for applications that want consistent paths across platforms (e.g., VSCode, Neovim, orcs).

CustomBase(PathBuf)

Use a custom base directory.

Config resolves to <base>/<app_name>, while data resolves to <base>/data/<app_name> (the extra data segment keeps config and data separated under a single base).
