~/ and C++

[tminos]

How do I find a persons home directory in C++? I'm writing a C++ version of the fetchmailsetup type program I made ealier in C and can't figure out how to find the persons home directory. Thanks.

In C, I'd use getenv("HOME").

as jemfinch said i believe setenv is in <unistd.h>

just include it into your C++ program and it will work fine.
