known-folders-rs

Retrieves the full path of a known folder identified by the folder's KNOWNFOLDERID on Windows systems using SHGetKnownFolderPath and the [Known Folders] API.

The Known Folders API first appeared in Windows Vista.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

toml [dependencies] known-folders = "1.0.0"

Then resolve well-known directories like this:

```rust use knownfolders::{getknownfolderpath, KnownFolder};

let profiledir = getknownfolderpath(KnownFolder::Profile); ```

You can test this crate works on your platform by running the example:

shell cargo run --example get_profile_dir

Implementation

known-folders-rs binds directly to Win32 using [windows_sys].

Note that this crate is completely empty on non-Windows platforms.
