Crate dirs

Expand description

The dirs crate is

a tiny library with a minimal API (18 public functions)
that provides the platform-specific, user-accessible locations
for finding and storing configuration, cache and other data
on Linux, Redox, Windows (≥ Vista) and macOS.

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 system on Windows, and
the Standard Directories on macOS.
