xdg-user

This simple crate allows you to get paths to well known user directories, using xdg-user-dirss user-dirs.dirs file.

There are two ways of using this crate - with functions in the root of the crate, or with the UserDirs struct. UserDirs will read and parse the config file only once - when you call the UserDirs::new function. Functions in the root will read and parse the config file EVERY TIME you call them - so use them ONLY if you need to get one or two folders one or two times.

Example

println!("Pictures folder: {:?}", xdg_user::pictures()?);
println!("Music folder:    {:?}", xdg_user::music()?);

let dirs = xdg_user::UserDirs::new()?;
println!("Documents folder: {:?}", dirs.documents());
println!("Downloads folder: {:?}", dirs.downloads());
