sys::dirs

The sys::dirs module provides platform-aware paths to standard directories (home, config, data, etc.). Functions return null on platforms where the directory does not apply.

/// the user's home directory
val home_dir: fn() -> [string, null];

/// the application cache directory
val cache_dir: fn() -> [string, null];

/// the application configuration directory (e.g. ~/.config on Linux)
val config_dir: fn() -> [string, null];

/// the local application configuration directory
val config_local_dir: fn() -> [string, null];

/// the application data directory
val data_dir: fn() -> [string, null];

/// the local application data directory
val data_local_dir: fn() -> [string, null];

/// the executables directory (Linux only, null on other platforms)
val executable_dir: fn() -> [string, null];

/// the application preference directory
val preference_dir: fn() -> [string, null];

/// the runtime directory (Linux only, null on other platforms)
val runtime_dir: fn() -> [string, null];

/// the state directory (Linux only, null on other platforms)
val state_dir: fn() -> [string, null];

/// the user's audio/music directory
val audio_dir: fn() -> [string, null];

/// the user's desktop directory
val desktop_dir: fn() -> [string, null];

/// the user's documents directory
val document_dir: fn() -> [string, null];

/// the user's downloads directory
val download_dir: fn() -> [string, null];

/// the fonts directory
val font_dir: fn() -> [string, null];

/// the user's pictures directory
val picture_dir: fn() -> [string, null];

/// the public share directory
val public_dir: fn() -> [string, null];

/// the templates directory
val template_dir: fn() -> [string, null];

/// the user's video directory
val video_dir: fn() -> [string, null];

executable_dir, runtime_dir, and state_dir are Linux-only and return null on other platforms.
