Function glib::user_data_dir
source · pub fn user_data_dir() -> PathBufExpand description
Returns a base directory in which to access application data such as icons that is customized for a particular user.
On UNIX platforms this is determined using the mechanisms described
in the
XDG Base Directory Specification.
In this case the directory retrieved will be XDG_DATA_HOME.
On Windows it follows XDG Base Directory Specification if XDG_DATA_HOME
is defined. If XDG_DATA_HOME is undefined, the folder to use for local (as
opposed to roaming) application data is used instead. See the
documentation for FOLDERID_LocalAppData.
Note that in this case on Windows it will be the same
as what user_config_dir() returns.
The return value is cached and modifying it at runtime is not supported, as it’s not thread-safe to modify environment variables at runtime.
Returns
a string owned by GLib that must not be modified or freed.
