Description

Returns the path to the directory where your application can store cache files.

If the system running your application does not support the requested folder, or if the requested folder does not exist in the system, this function returns an empty string instead.

  • On Windows and Mac OS X, it points to a user-specific, application-agnostic directory.
  • On iOS and Android, it points to an application-specific, user-specific directory.
