getTemporaryDirectory :: IO FilePath

Returns the current directory for temporary files.

On Unix, getTemporaryDirectory returns the value of the TMPDIR environment variable or "/tmp" if the variable isn't defined. On Windows, the function checks for the existence of environment variables in the following order and uses the first path found:

• TMP environment variable.
• TEMP environment variable.
• USERPROFILE environment variable.
• The Windows directory

The operation may fail with:

• UnsupportedOperation The operating system has no notion of temporary directory.

The function doesn't verify whether the path exists.

getUserDocumentsDirectory :: IO FilePath

Returns the current user's document directory.

The directory returned is expected to be writable by the current user, but note that it isn't generally considered good practice to store application-specific data here; use getXdgDirectory or getAppUserDataDirectory instead.

On Unix, getUserDocumentsDirectory returns the value of the HOME environment variable. On Windows, the system is queried for a suitable path; a typical path might be C:/Users/<user>/Documents.

The operation may fail with:

• UnsupportedOperation The operating system has no notion of document directory.
• isDoesNotExistError The document directory for the current user does not exist, or cannot be found.

getXdgDirectoryList

Arguments

:: XdgDirectoryList

which special directory list

-> IO [FilePath]

Similar to getXdgDirectory but retrieves the entire list of XDG directories.

On Windows, XdgDataDirs and XdgConfigDirs usually map to the same list of directories unless overridden.

Refer to the docs of XdgDirectoryList for more details.

getHomeDirectory :: IO FilePath

Returns the current user's home directory.

The directory returned is expected to be writable by the current user, but note that it isn't generally considered good practice to store application-specific data here; use getXdgDirectory or getAppUserDataDirectory instead.

On Unix, getHomeDirectory behaves as follows:

• Returns $HOME env variable if set (including to an empty string).
• Otherwise uses home directory returned by getpwuid_r using the UID of the current proccesses user. This basically reads the etcpasswd file. An empty home directory field is considered valid.

On Windows, the system is queried for a suitable path; a typical path might be C:/Users/<user>.

The operation may fail with:

• UnsupportedOperation The operating system has no notion of home directory.
• isDoesNotExistError The home directory for the current user does not exist, or cannot be found.

getCurrentDirectory :: IO FilePath

Obtain the current working directory as an absolute path.

In a multithreaded program, the current working directory is a global state shared among all threads of the process. Therefore, when performing filesystem operations from multiple threads, it is highly recommended to use absolute rather than relative paths (see: makeAbsolute).

The operation may fail with:

• HardwareFault A physical I/O error has occurred. [EIO]
• isDoesNotExistError There is no path referring to the working directory. [EPERM, ENOENT, ESTALE...]
• isPermissionError The process has insufficient privileges to perform the operation. [EACCES]
• isFullError Insufficient resources are available to perform the operation.
• UnsupportedOperation The operating system has no notion of current working directory.

data XdgDirectory

Special directories for storing user-specific application data, configuration, and cache files, as specified by the XDG Base Directory Specification.

Note: On Windows, XdgData and XdgConfig usually map to the same directory.

Since: directory-1.2.3.0

Constructors

XdgData

For data files (e.g. images). It uses the XDG_DATA_HOME environment variable. On non-Windows systems, the default is ~/.local/share. On Windows, the default is %APPDATA% (e.g. C:/Users/<user>/AppData/Roaming). Can be considered as the user-specific equivalent of /usr/share.

XdgConfig

For configuration files. It uses the XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable. On non-Windows systems, the default is ~/.config. On Windows, the default is %APPDATA% (e.g. C:/Users/<user>/AppData/Roaming). Can be considered as the user-specific equivalent of /etc.

XdgCache

For non-essential files (e.g. cache). It uses the XDG_CACHE_HOME environment variable. On non-Windows systems, the default is ~/.cache. On Windows, the default is %LOCALAPPDATA% (e.g. C:/Users/<user>/AppData/Local). Can be considered as the user-specific equivalent of /var/cache.

data XdgDirectoryList

Search paths for various application data, as specified by the XDG Base Directory Specification.

The list of paths is split using searchPathSeparator, which on Windows is a semicolon.

Note: On Windows, XdgDataDirs and XdgConfigDirs usually yield the same result.

Since: directory-1.3.2.0

Constructors

XdgDataDirs

For data files (e.g. images). It uses the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable. On non-Windows systems, the default is /usr/local/share/ and /usr/share/. On Windows, the default is %PROGRAMDATA% or %ALLUSERSPROFILE% (e.g. C:/ProgramData).

XdgConfigDirs

For configuration files. It uses the XDG_CONFIG_DIRS environment variable. On non-Windows systems, the default is /etc/xdg. On Windows, the default is %PROGRAMDATA% or %ALLUSERSPROFILE% (e.g. C:/ProgramData).
