### Example Usage of my_home

Source: https://docs.rs/homedir/0.3.6/homedir/unix/fn.my_home.html

Demonstrates retrieving the home directory when the HOME environment variable is set.

```rust
use homedir::unix::my_home;

// This assumes that the HOME environment variable is set to "/home/jpetersen".
assert_eq!(
    std::path::Path::new("/home/jpetersen"),
    my_home()?.unwrap().as_path()
);
```

--------------------------------

### Retrieve a user's home directory

Source: https://docs.rs/homedir/0.3.6/homedir/unix/fn.home.html

Demonstrates how to use the home function to look up a user's home directory and handle cases where the user does not exist.

```rust
use homedir::unix::home;
use std::path::PathBuf;

// This assumes there is a user named `root` which has
// `/root` as a home directory.
assert_eq!(
    Some(PathBuf::from("/root".to_owned())),
    home("root")?
);
assert!(home("nonexistentuser")?.is_none());
```

--------------------------------

### pub fn my_home() -> Result<Option<PathBuf>, GetHomeError>

Source: https://docs.rs/homedir/0.3.6/homedir/unix/fn.my_home.html

Retrieves the home directory path for the current process user. It prioritizes the $HOME environment variable before checking /etc/passwd.

```APIDOC
## Function: my_home

### Description
Get this process’ user’s home directory path. This function will first check the $HOME environment variable. If this variable does not exist, then the /etc/passwd file is checked.

### Signature
`pub fn my_home() -> Result<Option<PathBuf>, GetHomeError>`

### Returns
- **Result<Option<PathBuf>, GetHomeError>** - Returns the path to the home directory if found, None if the user entry is missing, or a GetHomeError if an error occurs during lookup.

### Example
```rust
use homedir::unix::my_home;

// This assumes that the HOME environment variable is set to "/home/jpetersen".
assert_eq!(
    std::path::Path::new("/home/jpetersen"),
    my_home()?.unwrap().as_path()
);
```
```

--------------------------------

## Function: home

### Description
Get the home directory of an arbitrary user. This will return the `Err` variant if an error occurs. If no user with the given username can be found, `Ok(None)` is returned instead.

### Signature
`pub fn home<S: AsRef<str>>(username: S) -> Result<Option<PathBuf>, GetHomeError>`

### Retrieve Home Directory from UserIdentifier

Source: https://docs.rs/homedir/0.3.6/homedir/unix/struct.UserIdentifier.html

```rust
use homedir::unix::UserIdentifier;
use nix::unistd::Uid;
use std::path::PathBuf;

// This only works on Unix systems, and assumes that the root user's home
// directory is located at /root.
assert_eq!(
    Some(PathBuf::from("/root".to_owned())),
    // See nix::unistd::Uid::from_raw
    UserIdentifier::from(Uid::from_raw(0)).to_home()?,
);
```
