Comment from https:/
"How do applications know where to save data to? They write to a well
known directory under XDG_{CACHE,
the logs and other stuff (if that actually does happen) as in use by the
system if it's too hard to do it any other way.
From https:/
Applications will always have read access to their install directory
and have write access to directories they own as determined by the XDG
base directory specification. Specifically:
XDG_CACHE_
XDG_RUNTIME_
XDG_DATA_
can discover these paths using standard APIs and appending the package
name as defined by the 'name' field of the manifest."
