Function local_app_data 

Source 
pub fn local_app_data(app_name: &str) -> Result<PathBuf>
Expand description

Returns the per-user local app-data directory for the given app name.

This function resolves the local app-data known folder via SHGetKnownFolderPath and appends app_name. It does not create the directory.

§Errors

Returns Error::InvalidInput if app_name is empty, whitespace only, or contains NUL bytes. Returns Error::WindowsApi if the Windows known-folder lookup fails.

§Examples

let path = win_desktop_utils::local_app_data("demo-app")?;
assert!(path.ends_with("demo-app"));
