<ul>
<li>Use <code>$HOME</code> if it is set and not empty.</li>
<li>If <code>$HOME</code> is not set or empty, then the function <code>getpwuid_r</code> is used to determine
the home directory of the current user.</li>
<li>If <code>getpwuid_r</code> lacks an entry for the current user id or the home directory field is empty,
then the function returns <code>None</code>.</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="windows" class="section-header"><a href="#windows">Windows:</a></h4>
<p>This function retrieves the user profile folder using <code>SHGetKnownFolderPath</code>.</p>
<p>All the examples on this page mentioning <code>$HOME</code> use this behavior.</p>
<p><em>Note:</em> This functions behavior differs from <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/env/fn.home_dir.html"><code>std::env::home_dir</code></a>,
which works incorrectly on Linux, macOS and Windows.</p>
