Saving application data in ~/Library/Application Support/

Hi,

I have some products under development written in C++. I am not using Cocoa for the most part, as these are cross-platform projects.

The apps themselves need to save, store, and access information, such as registration keys, user preferences, etc. It seems to me that the logical place to do this is in the ~/Library/Application Support/ directory.

Is it safe/recommended to access this directory using the above format, or is there a more accepted shortcut designation for that particular dir?
