Typical directory locations are OS-specific.
The main temporary directory could for example be:
/tmpon Linux./var/folders/.../Ton Mac.C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Tempon Windows.
os.tmpdir() can be used to
retrieve it on any OS.
Different terminal sessions on the same machine might have different temporary directories on Windows.
The user's home directory could for example be:
/home/USERon Linux./Users/USERon Mac.C:\Users\USERon Windows.
os.homedir() can be used to
retrieve it on any OS.
Application-specific settings are stored into
subdirectories on Windows:
Roaming (APPDATA environment variable) and Local (LOCALAPPDATA
environment variable).
This is also OS-specific.
global-cache-dir can be used to
retrieve it on any OS.
This is /dev/null on Unix and \\.\nul on Windows.
os.devNull can be used to
retrieve it on any OS.
env-paths can be used to retrieve
other common directories for logging, configuration or application data on any
OS.
Man pages are Unix-specific so the
package.json's man field
does not have any effects on Windows.
Use os.tmpdir(),
os.homedir(),
global-cache-dir and
env-paths.
