This code functions in a .app bundle which comes from apple... https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/qa/qa1549/_index.html

    if (path == NULL) { return "NULL"; }

    if (glob(path, GLOB_TILDE, NULL, &globbuf) == 0) //success
    {
        v = globbuf.gl_pathv; //list of matched pathnames
        expandedPath = v[0]; //number of matched pathnames, gl_pathc == 1

        result = (char*)calloc(1, strlen(expandedPath) + 1); //the extra char is for the null-termination
        if(result)
            strncpy(result, expandedPath, strlen(expandedPath) + 1); //copy the null-termination as well

        globfree(&globbuf);
