System-level helper functions for the [`dirs`](https://github.com/dirs-dev/dirs-rs)
and [`directories`](https://github.com/dirs-dev/directories-rs) crates.
_Do not use this library directly, use [`dirs`](https://github.com/dirs-dev/dirs-rs)
## Compatibility
This crate only exists to facilitate code sharing between [`dirs`](https://github.com/dirs-dev/dirs-rs)
There are no compatibility guarantees whatsoever.
Functions may change or disappear without warning or any kind of deprecation period.
## Platforms
This library is written in Rust, and supports Linux, Redox, macOS and Windows.
Other platforms are also supported; they use the Linux conventions.
The minimal required version of Rust is 1.13 except for Redox, where the minimum Rust version
depends on the [`redox_users`](https://crates.io/crates/redox_users) crate.
## Build
It's possible to cross-compile this library if the necessary toolchains are installed with rustup.
This is helpful to ensure a change has not broken compilation on a different platform.
The following commands will build this library on Linux, macOS and Windows:
```
cargo build --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
cargo build --target=x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
