Hi,
I'm developing a library, and I need to store some files in the user's home
directory. Idealy, I'd like to make a .hml directory, and just throw the files
under it like
/home/ian
|---.hml
|---file0
|---file1
|---....
|---fileN
obviously, this is pretty standard stuff, but I was wondering if there was any
accepted wisdom for getting at the current user's home directory. I'd like to
only depend on glib. so i guess, g_get_home_dir is the way to go, right?
Again, this is a library, not an application.
Using g_get_home_dir is probably a good idea. It does work really hard to get things right (look at the g_get_any_init function in <http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/glib/glib/gutils.c?rev=1.131&view=auto> and be thankful for our base libraries!), and does so too in windows, which might be useful if your library has uses there. -- m -- Mariano Suárez-Alvarez <msuarezalvarez arnet com ar>
