Just curious, but why do you need that info?
In single user environments like DOS, Win and OS/2 (non server versions) it's a
nice way to get a place to store settings files, etc. but under a multiuser
system like linux you're supposed to store your system wide settings in /etc or
/usr/etc and the user specific settings in the home dir of that user.

Always expect that a normal user (and thus your application!) will not have
create or edit rights in the directory where your application resides.
