| 66 |  * \brief Get the user-and-app-specific path where files can be written. | ||
| 67 |  * | ||
| 68 |  * Get the "pref dir". This is meant to be where users can write personal | ||
| 69 |  *  files (preferences and save games, etc) that are specific to your | ||
| 70 |  *  application. This directory is unique per user, per application. | ||
| 71 |  * | ||
| 72 |  * This function will decide the appropriate location in the native filesystem, | ||
| 73 |  *  create the directory if necessary, and return a string of the absolute | ||
| 74 |  *  path to the directory in UTF-8 encoding. | ||
| 75 |  * | ||
| 76 |  * On Windows, the string might look like: | ||
| 77 |  *  "C:\\Users\\bob\\AppData\\Roaming\\My Company\\My Program Name\\" | ||
| 78 |  * | ||
| 79 |  * On Linux, the string might look like: | ||
| 80 |  *  "/home/bob/.local/share/My Program Name/" | ||
| 81 |  * | ||
| 82 |  * On Mac OS X, the string might look like: | ||
| 83 |  *  "/Users/bob/Library/Application Support/My Program Name/" | ||
| 84 |  * | ||
| 85 |  * (etc.) | ||
| 86 |  * | ||
| 87 |  * You specify the name of your organization (if it's not a real organization, | ||
| 88 |  *  your name or an Internet domain you own might do) and the name of your | ||
| 89 |  *  application. These should be untranslated proper names. | ||
| 90 |  * | ||
| 91 |  * Both the org and app strings may become part of a directory name, so | ||
| 92 |  *  please follow these rules: | ||
| 93 |  * | ||
| 94 |  *    - Try to use the same org string (including case-sensitivity) for | ||
| 95 |  *      all your applications that use this function. | ||
| 96 |  *    - Always use a unique app string for each one, and make sure it never | ||
| 97 |  *      changes for an app once you've decided on it. | ||
| 98 |  *    - Unicode characters are legal, as long as it's UTF-8 encoded, but... | ||
| 99 |  *    - ...only use letters, numbers, and spaces. Avoid punctuation like | ||
| 100 |  *      "Game Name 2: Bad Guy's Revenge!" ... "Game Name 2" is sufficient. | ||
| 101 |  * | ||
| 102 |  * This returns an absolute path in UTF-8 encoding, and is guaranteed to | ||
| 103 |  *  end with a path separator ('\\' on Windows, '/' most other places). | ||
| 104 |  * | ||
| 105 |  * The pointer returned by this function is owned by you. Please call | ||
| 106 |  *  SDL_free() on the pointer when you are done with it, or it will be a | ||
| 107 |  *  memory leak. This is not necessarily a fast call, though, so you should | ||
| 108 |  *  call this once near startup and save the string if you need it. | ||
| 109 |  * | ||
| 110 |  * You should assume the path returned by this function is the only safe | ||
| 111 |  *  place to write files (and that SDL_GetBasePath(), while it might be | ||
| 112 |  *  writable, or even the parent of the returned path, aren't where you | ||
| 113 |  *  should be writing things). | ||
| 114 |  * | ||
| 115 |  * Some platforms can't determine the pref path, and on other | ||
| 116 |  *  platforms, this might be meaningless. In such cases, this function will | ||
| 117 |  *  return NULL. | ||
