[Documentation](http://kiran-kp.github.io/xdg-basedir/xdg/index.html)
xdg-basedir is a utility library to make conforming to the
[XDG basedir specification](http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html) easier.
#Example
```rust
#![cfg(unix)]
extern crate xdg_basedir;
#![cfg(unix)]
use xdg;
use std::path::PathBuf;
...
let data_home: PathBuf = try!(xdg::get_data_home());
...
```
**Unstable features:**
- Test runtime directory: A function to check if a directory satisfies the XDG spec's requirements of a runtime directory.
The default build of xdg-basedir does not use any unstable libstd features. To enable them, you'll need to use the nightly build of rustc and build xdg-basedir with the 'unstable' feature toggle.
```toml
[dependencies.xdg-basedir]
version = "0.1.2"
features = ["unstable"]
```
Alternate implementation and some initial source borrowed from [rust-xdg](https://github.com/o11c/rust-xdg).
The APIs provided by ```rust-xdg``` and ```xdg-basedir``` are different.
