| 97 | + <title>Description</title> |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | + <para><function>sd_path_lookup()</function> and <function>sd_bus_path_lookup_strv()</function> return a |
| 100 | + single path or set of file system paths specified by the argument <parameter>type</parameter>. In case of |
| 101 | + <function>sd_path_lookup()</function> a single <constant>NUL</constant>-terminated string is returned. |
| 102 | + When <parameter>type</parameter> specifies a set of paths, they are concatenated using |
| 103 | + <literal>:</literal> as a separator (as is traditionally done for e.g. <varname>$PATH</varname> or |
| 104 | + <varname>$LD_LIBRARY_PATH</varname>). In case of <function>sd_path_lookup_strv()</function> a |
| 105 | + <constant>NULL</constant>-terminated array of strings is returned (strv). If suffix |
| 106 | + <parameter>suffix</parameter> is given, it is concatenated to each of the paths after a slash |
| 107 | + (<literal>/</literal>). All returned paths are absolute.</para> |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | + <para>For paths which refer to user directories, the relevant XDG standard is followed, with support for |
| 110 | + environment variables like <varname>$XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR</varname>, <varname>$XDG_DESKTOP_DIR</varname>, |
| 111 | + ..., and explicit configuration in <filename>/etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf</filename> or |
| 112 | + <filename>${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/user-dirs.dirs</filename>. See |
| 113 | + <ulink url="https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html"> |
| 114 | + XDG Base Directory Specification</ulink> for details.</para> |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | + <para><citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-path</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> is |
| 117 | + a wrapper around <function>sd_path_lookup()</function> and allows the same set of paths to be queried. |

| 125 | + return a non-negative integer. On failure, a negative errno-style error number is returned by either |
| 126 | + function.</para> |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | + <para>The returned string or string array (strv) must be |
