Get current user's home directory

Question

I'm developing a Cocoa Objective-C application that will run on Mac OS X. I need to get the full path of the current user's home directory:

/Users/MyUser/

Is there a standard function that does that in Objective-C/Cocoa?

Answer 1

NSHomeDirectory: “Returns the path to the current user’s home directory.”

Example:

NSLog(@"Current user’s home directory is %@", NSHomeDirectory());

Answer 2

Since macOS 10.12 you can also use FileManager.default.homeDirectoryForCurrentUser, see the documentation.
