I think Laurence suggested this. FSFindFolder does seem to be the
best solution, but I don't see any routine to convert from FSRef to
full POSIX path, only one to go the other way. My problem was not
getting the $HOME dir itself but rather, a reference to a file in
$HOME - using $HOME as a component of the full path. The code I ended
up using that works is:
Can you re-post the thread "Getting the current user dir in
Carbon".
I just signed in, and this thread seems to be discussing my
problem:
I am trying te get the path to the home directory of the current user
on
Tiger.
With folder manager's FSFindFolder, but I couldn't get it right, also
on
Panther.
I expected to use the constant kCurrentUserFolderLocation as i did
with
kDesktopFolderType but FSFindFolder return an error (-43 on Tiger)
thanks for help.
