DESCRIPTION

       sd_path_lookup() and sd_bus_path_lookup_strv() return a single path or set of file system
       paths specified by the argument type. In case of sd_path_lookup() a single NUL-terminated
       string is returned. When type specifies a set of paths, they are concatenated using ":" as
       a separator (as is traditionally done for e.g.  $PATH or $LD_LIBRARY_PATH). In case of
       sd_path_lookup_strv() a NULL-terminated array of strings is returned (strv). If suffix
       suffix is given, it is concatenated to each of the paths after a slash ("/"). All returned
       paths are absolute.

       For paths which refer to user directories, the relevant XDG standard is followed, with
       support for environment variables like $XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR, $XDG_DESKTOP_DIR, ..., and
       explicit configuration in /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf or ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/user-dirs.dirs.
       See XDG Base Directory Specification[1] for details.

       systemd-path(1) is a wrapper around sd_path_lookup() and allows the same set of paths to
       be queried.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, sd_path_lookup() and sd_path_lookup_strv() return a non-negative integer. On
       failure, a negative errno-style error number is returned by either function.

       The returned string or string array (strv) must be free(3)'d by the caller.

   Errors
       Returned errors may indicate the following problems:

       -EOPNOTSUPP
           Unknown identifier type.

       -EINVAL
           Output argument is NULL.

       -ENXIO
           Query failed because of an undefined environment variable (e.g. for
           SD_PATH_USER_RUNTIME when $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not defined).

       -ENOMEM
           Memory allocation failed.

EXAMPLES

   Look up the location of ~/Documents
           /* SPDX-License-Identifier: CC0-1.0 */

           #include <stdio.h>
           #include <stdlib.h>
           #include <sd-path.h>

           int main(void) {
             int r;
             char *t;

             r = sd_path_lookup(SD_PATH_USER_DOCUMENTS, NULL, &t);
             if (r < 0)
               return EXIT_FAILURE;

             printf("~/Documents: %s\n", t);
             free(t);

             return EXIT_SUCCESS;
           }

       Note that the default answer of $HOME/Documents may be overridden by user-dirs.conf or
       $XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR.

NOTES

       These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with
       the libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.
