xdg - the XDG base directories specification

Introduction

Where should your application put its files? Somewhere in $HOME? Do non-Unix systems have something like that? What about cache files?

Fortunately, there is a standard for this - the XDG base directories specification.

This library implements this standard and extends it in a way that works on Windows too.

Example

This computes the name of a config file for a program named acme.

  let config_file_path =
    let xdg = Xdg.create ~env:Sys.getenv_opt () in
    let config_dir = Xdg.config_dir xdg in
    Filename.concat config_dir "acme"
