• that provides the platform-specific, user-accessible locations
• for retrieving and storing configuration, cache and other data
• on Linux, Windows, macOS and other platforms.

The library provides the location of these directories by leveraging the mechanisms defined by

• the XDG base directory and the XDG user directory specifications on Linux
• the Known Folder API on Windows
• the Standard Directories guidelines on macOS

Platforms
