-\section{\class{wxFileLocator}}\label{wxfilelocator}
-
-wxFileLocator returns the standard locations in the file system and should be
-used by the programs to find their data files in a portable way.
-
-Please note that this is not a real class because object of this type are never
-created but more a namespace containing the class methods which are all static,
-so to use wxFileLocator simply call its methods directly.
-
-In the description of the methods below, the example return values are given
-for the Unix, Windows and Mac OS X systems, however please note that these are
-just the examples and the actual values may differ. Most importantly:
-\begin{itemize}
- \item Unix: \texttt{/usr} should in general be replaced by the
- program installation prefix which is by default \texttt{/usr/local} but
- may be any other path as well.
- \item Windows: the system administrator may change the standard
- directories locations, i.e. the Windows directory may be named
- \texttt{W:$\backslash$Win2003} instead of default
- \texttt{C:$\backslash$Windows}
-\end{itemize}
-
-The strings \texttt{\textit{appname}} and \texttt{\textit{username}} should be
-replaced with the value returned by \helpref{wxApp::GetAppName}{wxappgetappname}
-and the name of the currently logged in user, respectively.
-
-The directories returned by the methods of this class may or may not exist. If
-they don't exist, it's up to the caller to create them, wxFileLocator doesn't
-do it.
-
-Finally note that under Mac, these functions only work for the bundled
-applications.

-\membersection{wxFileLocator::GetConfigDir}\label{wxfilelocatorgetconfigdir}
-
-\func{static wxString}{GetConfigDir}{\void}
-
-Return the directory containing the system config files.
-
-Example return values:
-\begin{itemize}
- \item Unix: \texttt{/etc}
- \item Windows: \texttt{C:$\backslash$Windows}
- \item Mac: \texttt{/Library/Preferences}
-\end{itemize}

-
-\membersection{wxFileLocator::GetDataDir}\label{wxfilelocatorgetdatadir}
-
-\func{static wxString}{GetDataDir}{\void}
-
-Return the location of the applications global, i.e. not user-specific,
-data files.
-
-Example return values:
-\begin{itemize}
- \item Unix: \texttt{/usr/share/\textit{appname}}
- \item Windows: \texttt{C:$\backslash$Program Files$\backslash$\textit{appname}}
- \item Mac: \texttt{\textit{appname}.app/Contents} bundle subdirectory
-\end{itemize}

-\helpref{GetLocalDataDir}{wxfilelocatorgetlocaldatadir}
-
-
-\membersection{wxFileLocator::GetLocalDataDir}\label{wxfilelocatorgetlocaldatadir}
-
-\func{static wxString}{GetLocalDataDir}{\void}
-
-Return the location for application data files which are host-specific and
-can't, or shouldn't, be shared with the other machines.
-
-This is the same as \helpref{GetDataDir()}{wxfilelocatorgetdatadir} except
-under Unix where it returns \texttt{/etc/\textit{appname}}.
-
-
-\membersection{wxFileLocator::GetPluginsDir}\label{wxfilelocatorgetpluginsdir}
-
-\func{static wxString}{GetPluginsDir}{\void}
-
-Return the directory where the loadable modules (plugins) live.
-
-Example return values:
-\begin{itemize}
- \item Unix: \texttt{/usr/lib/\textit{appname}}
- \item Windows: the directory of the executable file
- \item Mac: \texttt{\textit{appname}.app/Contents/Plugins} bundle subdirectory
-\end{itemize}

-\helpref{wxDynamicLibrary}{wxdynamiclibrary}
-
-
-\membersection{wxFileLocator::GetUserConfigDir}\label{wxfilelocatorgetuserconfigdir}
-
-\func{static wxString}{GetUserConfigDir}{\void}
-
-Return the directory for the user config files:
-\begin{itemize}
- \item Unix: \texttt{\verb|~|} (the home directory)
- \item Windows: \texttt{C:$\backslash$Documents and Settings$\backslash$\textit{username}}
- \item Mac: \texttt{\verb|~|/Library/Preferences}
-\end{itemize}
-
-Only use this method if you have a single configuration file to put in this
-directory, otherwise \helpref{GetUserDataDir()}{wxfilelocatorgetuserdatadir} is
-more appropriate.
-
-
-\membersection{wxFileLocator::GetUserDataDir}\label{wxfilelocatorgetuserdatadir}
-
-\func{static wxString}{GetUserDataDir}{\void}
-
-Return the directory for the user-dependent application data files:
-\begin{itemize}
- \item Unix: \texttt{\verb|~|/.\textit{appname}}
- \item Windows: \texttt{C:$\backslash$Documents and Settings$\backslash$\textit{username}
- $\backslash$Application Data
- $\backslash$\textit{appname}}
- \item Mac: \texttt{\verb|~|/Library/\textit{appname}}
-\end{itemize}
-
-
-\membersection{wxFileLocator::GetUserLocalDataDir}\label{wxfilelocatorgetuserlocaldatadir}
-
-\func{static wxString}{GetUserLocalDataDir}{\void}
-
-Return the directory for user data files which shouldn't be shared with
-the other machines.
-
-This is the same as \helpref{GetUserDataDir()}{wxfilelocatorgetuserdatadir} for
-all platforms except Windows where it returns
-\texttt{C:$\backslash$Documents and Settings$\backslash$\textit{username}
- $\backslash$Local Settings
- $\backslash$Application Data
- $\backslash$\textit{appname}}
