ggGetUserDir(3)			      GGI		       ggGetUserDir(3)

NAME
       ggGetUserDir : Get user home directory

SYNOPSIS
       #include <ggi/gg.h>

       const char * ggGetUserDir(void);

DESCRIPTION
       ggGetUserDir returns a path to the home directory of the user executing
       an application, whatever it may be on a given system.  For example,  on
       unix  systems it will be the contents of the HOME environment variable.
       If no user home exists, a suitable temporary directory is found.

       ggGetUserDir is threadsafe, but is not guaranteed to be safe to use  in
       a  thread  that	may be cancelled during its execution.	It is also not
       guaranteed to be safe to use in special contexts	 such  as  LibGG  task
       handlers, signal handlers and asyncronous procedure calls.

RETURN VALUE
       ggGetUserDir  returns a NULL-terminated string holding the path the the
       current user home directory.  This string may be a reference to	memory
       belonging to OS facilities, and Bmust not* be freed or altered.
