In case of sd_path_lookup() a single NUL-terminated string is returned. When type specifies a set of paths, they are concatenated using : as a separator (as is traditionally done for e.g. $PATH or $LD_LIBRARY_PATH). In case of sd_path_lookup_strv() a NULL-terminated array of strings is returned (strv). If suffix suffix is given, it is concatenated to each of the paths after a slash (/). All returned paths are absolute. For paths which refer to user directories, the relevant XDG standard is followed, with support for environment variables like $XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR, $XDG_DESKTOP_DIR, ..., and explicit configuration in /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf or ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/user-dirs.dirs. See XDG Base Directory Specification for details. systemd-path1 is a wrapper around sd_path_lookup() and allows the same set of paths to be queried. On success, sd_path_lookup() and sd_path_lookup_strv() return a non-negative integer. On failure, a negative errno-style error number is returned by either function. The returned string or string array (strv) must be free3'd by the caller. Returned errors may indicate the following problems: -EOPNOTSUPP Unknown identifier type. -EINVAL Output argument is NULL. -ENXIO Query failed because of an undefined environment variable (e.g. for SD_PATH_USER_RUNTIME when $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not defined). -ENOMEM Memory allocation failed. Note that the default answer of $HOME/Documents may be overridden by user-dirs.conf or $XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR. systemd-path1
