# $file.globaldir

Get the KVIrc global directory

Usage

    $file.globaldir(<relative_path>)
    $file.globaldir

Description

Returns the path to the KVIrc global data directory.
The KVIrc local data directory is always readable (but usually not writable) and contains the various subdirectories that KVIrc uses internally: audio, avatars, config, help, incoming, log, modules, msgcolors and pics.
If <relative_path> is passed, then it is appended to the directory path to form a complete filepath.
The path is adjusted to contain single separators suitable for the platform that KVIrc is atually running on (thus you do not need to care about path separators in the <relative_path>, KVIrc will adjust them).

Syntax Specification

    $file.globaldir(<relative_path>)
    $file.globaldir

Examples

        echo KVIrc looks for pictures in $file.globaldir(pics)
        echo panic.png would be translated to $file.globaldir(pics/panic.png)
