<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_path_lookup()</function> and <function>sd_bus_path_lookup_strv()</function> return a
single path or set of file system paths specified by the argument <parameter>type</parameter>. In case of
<function>sd_path_lookup()</function> a single <constant>NUL</constant>-terminated string is returned.
When <parameter>type</parameter> specifies a set of paths, they are concatenated using
<literal>:</literal> as a separator (as is traditionally done for e.g. <varname>$PATH</varname> or
<varname>$LD_LIBRARY_PATH</varname>). In case of <function>sd_path_lookup_strv()</function> a
<constant>NULL</constant>-terminated array of strings is returned (strv). If suffix
<parameter>suffix</parameter> is given, it is concatenated to each of the paths after a slash
(<literal>/</literal>). All returned paths are absolute.</para>
<para>For paths which refer to user directories, the relevant XDG standard is followed, with support for
environment variables like <varname>$XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR</varname>, <varname>$XDG_DESKTOP_DIR</varname>,
..., and explicit configuration in <filename>/etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf</filename> or
<filename>${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/user-dirs.dirs</filename>. See
<ulink url="https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html">
XDG Base Directory Specification</ulink> for details.</para>
<para><citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-path</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> is
a wrapper around <function>sd_path_lookup()</function> and allows the same set of paths to be queried.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, <function>sd_path_lookup()</function> and <function>sd_path_lookup_strv()</function>
return a non-negative integer. On failure, a negative errno-style error number is returned by either
function.</para>
<para>The returned string or string array (strv) must be
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>'d by the
caller.</para>
