Putting stuff in $HOME (POSIX)

[DanielESFA]

Hey

How would I go about accessing the user's home folder without knowing the
path? I was hoping I could simply use $HOME as in bash, but no donut...

TIA,
Daniel

That's an easy question, but off topic here. try comp.unix.programmer or
comp.os.linux.development.*

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
char *home;

home = getenv("HOME");

if (home)
std::cout << "HOME: " << home << std::endl;
else
std::cout << "HOME not found" << std::endl;

return 0;
}
