+ * Get the directory where the application was run from.
+ *
+ * This is not necessarily a fast call, so you should call this once near
+ * startup and save the string if you need it.
+ *
+ * **Mac OS X 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/`
+ *
+ * **Nintendo 3DS Specific Functionality**: This function returns "romfs"
+ * directory of the application as it is uncommon to store resources outside
+ * the executable. As such it is not a writable directory.
+ *
+ * The returned path is guaranteed to end with a path separator ('\\' on
+ * Windows, '/' on most other platforms).
+ *
+ * The pointer returned is owned by the caller. Please call SDL_free() on the
+ * pointer when done with it.
+ *
+ * \returns an absolute path in UTF-8 encoding to the application data
+ *          directory. NULL will be returned on error or when the platform
+ *          doesn't implement this functionality, call SDL_GetError() for more
+ *          information.
+ *
+ * \since This function is available since SDL 2.0.1.

+/**
+ * Get the user-and-app-specific path where files can be written.
+ *
+ * Get the "pref dir". This is meant to be where users can write personal
+ * files (preferences and save games, etc) that are specific to your
+ * application. This directory is unique per user, per application.
+ *
+ * This function will decide the appropriate location in the native
+ * filesystem, create the directory if necessary, and return a string of the
+ * absolute path to the directory in UTF-8 encoding.
+ *
+ * On Windows, the string might look like:
+ *
+ * `C:\\Users\\bob\\AppData\\Roaming\\My Company\\My Program Name\\`
+ *
+ * On Linux, the string might look like:
+ *
+ * `/home/bob/.local/share/My Program Name/`
+ *
+ * On Mac OS X, the string might look like:
+ *
+ * `/Users/bob/Library/Application Support/My Program Name/`
+ *
+ * You should assume the path returned by this function is the only safe place
+ * to write files (and that SDL_GetBasePath(), while it might be writable, or
+ * even the parent of the returned path, isn't where you should be writing
+ * things).
+ *
+ * Both the org and app strings may become part of a directory name, so please
+ * follow these rules:
+ *
+ * - Try to use the same org string (_including case-sensitivity_) for all
+ *   your applications that use this function.
+ * - Always use a unique app string for each one, and make sure it never
+ *   changes for an app once you've decided on it.
+ * - Unicode characters are legal, as long as it's 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.
+ *
+ * The returned path is guaranteed to end with a path separator ('\\' on
+ * Windows, '/' on most other platforms).
+ *
+ * The pointer returned is owned by the caller. Please call SDL_free() on the
+ * pointer when done with it.
+ *
+ * \param org the name of your organization.
+ * \param app the name of your application.
+ * \returns a UTF-8 string of the user directory in platform-dependent
+ *          notation. NULL if there's a problem (creating directory failed,
+ *          etc.).
