\brief Provides the find_directory function.
|
|
|
|
Haiku provides a set of directories for applications to use. These can be
|
|
accessed using the find_directory function. It is very important to use the
|
|
function at runtime and not hardcode the path, as it may change in future
|
|
versions of Haiku, and already changed in past ones. Using this function
|
|
makes your application more future-proof, and makes sure everyone puts data
|
|
in the same place, which makes the system cleaner and easier to manage.
|
|
|
|
Note this function can be accessed from C code, to make it easy to use also
|
|
in ported applications.

\enum directory_which

\brief Directory constants to use with find_directory.
|
|
|
|
There are four kind of directories. Volume-local directories exist on each
|
|
volume. They may be at a different place in each of them, for example the
|
|
trash location depends on the filesystem. System and common directories are
|
|
system-wide. They live on only one volume. The difference is system is
|
|
only meant for internal system management and shouldn't be used by
|
|
applications. The common directories have a similar hierarchy, and they are
|
|
ignored when the user disable user add-ons in the boot menu. User
|
|
directories have a different value depending on the UID of the application
|
|
calling the function. They are usually located in the user home directory.
|
|
|
|
Use common directories for system-wide filessuch as drivers. Use user
|
|
directories for application settings, since each user may want different
|
|
settings.
