+ *
+ * SDL offers an API for examining and manipulating the system's filesystem.
+ * This covers most things one would need to do with directories, except for
+ * actual file I/O (which is covered by [CategoryIOStream](CategoryIOStream)
+ * and [CategoryAsyncIO](CategoryAsyncIO) instead).
+ *
+ * There are functions to answer necessary path questions:
+ *
+ * - Where is my app's data? SDL_GetBasePath().
+ * - Where can I safely write files? SDL_GetPrefPath().
+ * - Where are paths like Downloads, Desktop, Music? SDL_GetUserFolder().
+ * - What is this thing at this location? SDL_GetPathInfo().
+ * - What items live in this folder? SDL_EnumerateDirectory().
+ * - What items live in this folder by wildcard? SDL_GlobDirectory().
+ * - What is my current working directory? SDL_GetCurrentDirectory().
+ *
+ * SDL also offers functions to manipulate the directory tree: renaming,
+ * removing, copying files.

+ * Get the directory where the application was run from.

+ * SDL caches the result of this call internally, but the first call to this
+ * function is not necessarily fast, so plan accordingly.
+ *
+ * **macOS and iOS Specific Functionality**: If the application is in a ".app"
+ * bundle, this function returns the Resource directory (e.g.
+ * MyApp.app/Contents/Resources/). This behaviour can be overridden by adding
+ * a property to the Info.plist file. Adding a string key with the name
+ * SDL_FILESYSTEM_BASE_DIR_TYPE with a supported value will change the
+ * behaviour.
+ *
+ * Supported values for the SDL_FILESYSTEM_BASE_DIR_TYPE property (Given an
+ * application in /Applications/SDLApp/MyApp.app):
+ *
+ * - `resource`: bundle resource directory (the default). For example:
+ *   `/Applications/SDLApp/MyApp.app/Contents/Resources`
+ * - `bundle`: the Bundle directory. For example:
+ *   `/Applications/SDLApp/MyApp.app/`
+ * - `parent`: the containing directory of the bundle. For example:
+ *   `/Applications/SDLApp/`
+ *
+ * **Android Specific Functionality**: This function returns "./", which
+ * allows filesystem operations to use internal storage and the asset system.
+ *
+ * **Nintendo 3DS Specific Functionality**: This function returns "romfs"

+ *
+ * This function will decide the appropriate location in the native
+ * filesystem, create the directory if necessary, and return a string of the

+ *
+ * On Windows, the string might look like:

+ * `C:\\Users\\bob\\AppData\\Roaming\\My Company\\My Program Name\\`
+ *
+ * On Linux, the string might look like:

+ * - Try to use the same org string (_including case-sensitivity_) for all

+ *   changes for an app once you've decided on it.
+ * - Unicode characters are legal, as long as they are UTF-8 encoded, but...
+ * - ...only use letters, numbers, and spaces. Avoid punctuation like "Game
+ *   Name 2: Bad Guy's Revenge!" ... "Game Name 2" is sufficient.
+ *
+ * Due to historical mistakes, `org` is allowed to be NULL or "". In such
+ * cases, SDL will omit the org subdirectory, including on platforms where it
