Re: Getting the current user dir in Carbon



Title: Re: Getting the current user dir in Carbon
My code basically looks like this, "lib" being the dir inside the current user's dir that I want to delete:

UInt8   *userslibPathPOSIX = "./lib";

I've tried:

UInt8   *userslibPathPOSIX = "./lib";

and

UInt8   *userslibPathPOSIX = "~/lib";

and

UInt8   *userslibPathPOSIX = "Users/~/lib";

and

UInt8   *userslibPathPOSIX = "$HOME/lib";

None of them work.

I believe it is "~".  "." is the current working directory, which might be the home directory.  It might be guaranteed by Apple, I don't know, but I know that tilde will always be the home directory, even if other POSIX commands have selected a different working directory.

Isn't the current user directory just specified as "."?

Ian
This may be a newbie question, but how do I specify the current user directory using a POSIX-style pathname in Carbon? I need to delete a directory directly inside the current user directory so I need to make a fixed path as a POSIX pathname string and then convert it to an FSRef.

Thanks,
