| * \brief Get the user-and-app-specific path where files can be written. | |
| * | |
| * Get the "pref dir". This is meant to be where users can write personal | |
| * files (preferences and save games, etc) that are specific to your | |
| * application. This directory is unique per user, per application. | |
| * | |
| * This function will decide the appropriate location in the native filesystem, | |
| * create the directory if necessary, and return a string of the absolute | |
| * path to the directory in UTF-8 encoding. | |
| * | |
| * On Windows, the string might look like: | |
| * "C:\\Users\\bob\\AppData\\Roaming\\My Company\\My Program Name\\" | |
| * | |
| * On Linux, the string might look like: | |
| * "/home/bob/.local/share/My Program Name/" | |
| * | |
| * On Mac OS X, the string might look like: | |
| * "/Users/bob/Library/Application Support/My Program Name/" | |
| * | |
| * (etc.) | |
| * | |
| * You specify the name of your organization (if it's not a real organization, | |
| * your name or an Internet domain you own might do) and the name of your | |
| * application. These should be untranslated proper names. | |
| * | |
| * Both the org and app strings may become part of a directory name, so | |
| * please follow these rules: | |
| * | |
| * - Try to use the same org string (including case-sensitivity) for | |
| * all your applications that use this function. | |
| * - Always use a unique app string for each one, and make sure it never | |
| * changes for an app once you've decided on it. | |
| * - Unicode characters are legal, as long as it's UTF-8 encoded, but... | |
| * - ...only use letters, numbers, and spaces. Avoid punctuation like | |
| * "Game Name 2: Bad Guy's Revenge!" ... "Game Name 2" is sufficient. | |
| * | |
| * This returns an absolute path in UTF-8 encoding, and is guaranteed to | |
| * end with a path separator ('\\' on Windows, '/' most other places). | |
| * | |
| * The pointer returned by this function is owned by you. Please call | |
| * SDL_free() on the pointer when you are done with it, or it will be a | |
| * memory leak. This is not necessarily a fast call, though, so you should | |
| * call this once near startup and save the string if you need it. | |
| * | |
| * You should assume the path returned by this function is the only safe | |
| * place to write files (and that SDL_GetBasePath(), while it might be | |
| * writable, or even the parent of the returned path, aren't where you | |
| * should be writing things). | |
| * | |
| * Some platforms can't determine the pref path, and on other | |
| * platforms, this might be meaningless. In such cases, this function will | |
| * return NULL. | |
| * | |
| * \param org The name of your organization. | |
| * \param app The name of your application. | |
| * \return UTF-8 string of user dir in platform-dependent notation. NULL | |
| * if there's a problem (creating directory failed, etc). | |
