Crate dirs_next

The dirs-next crate is

• a tiny library with a minimal API (16 functions)
• that provides the platform-specific, user-accessible locations
• for finding and storing configuration, cache and other data
• on Linux, Redox, Windows (≥ Vista) and macOS.

The library provides the location of these directories by leveraging the mechanisms defined by

• the XDG base directory and the XDG user directory specifications on Linux,
• the Known Folder system on Windows, and
• the Standard Directories on macOS.
