//! Canonical definitions of `home_dir`, `cargo_home`, and `rustup_home`.
//!
//! This provides the definition of `home_dir` used by Cargo and
//! rustup, as well functions to find the correct value of
//! `CARGO_HOME` and `RUSTUP_HOME`.
//!
//! See also the [`dirs`](https://docs.rs/dirs) crate.
//!
//! _Note that as of 2019/08/06 it appears that cargo uses this crate. And
//! rustup has used this crate since 2019/08/21._
//!
//! The definition of `home_dir` provided by the standard library is
//! incorrect because it considers the `HOME` environment variable on
//! Windows. This causes surprising situations where a Rust program
//! will behave differently depending on whether it is run under a
//! Unix emulation environment like Cygwin or MinGW. Neither Cargo nor
//! rustup use the standard libraries definition - they use the
//! definition here.
//!
//! This crate further provides two functions, `cargo_home` and
//! `rustup_home`, which are the canonical way to determine the
//! location that Cargo and rustup store their data.
//!
//! See also this [discussion].
