A couple of other ways to grab the current home directly. Strictly
POSIX style and it depends on the HOME environment variable being set
(Which seems to be the case for OS X).
USE the built in environment pointer passed in main (Yes this is in the
standards)...
int main (int argc, const char * argv[], const char *envp[]) {
int i;
for (i = 0; NULL != envp[i]; ++i)
fprintf(stderr, "VAR: %s\n", envp[i]);
return 0;
}
Cheers

This is something similar to what I have been using. Sans error
checking and whatnot...
FSRef fsRef;
OSStatus err = FSFindFolder(kUserDomain, kCurrentUserFolderType,
FALSE, &fsRef);
CFURLRef home = CFURLCreateFromFSRef(kCFAllocatorDefault, &fsRef);
CFURLRef path =
CFURLCreateCopyAppendingPathComponent(kCFAllocatorDefault, home,
CFSTR("work"), TRUE);
CFURLGetFSRef(path, &fsRef);
// PARTY on fsRef...
CFRelease(home);
CFRelease(path);

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.
