c++ - path question

Comment:
is there a way to return the current a account in c++? i'm thinking of how to return something like "/home/babag."
i have a small app that i need to run on more than one box. once in the account, the paths will be pretty much the same on each. i'm thinking that if i can return the account home path, i can store it in one variable and store the rest of the path in ampther and put the two together to form the path for the current box.
for example, each box might be in variable1, while a common part of the path might be in variable2.

You can get the home directory from the environment table (getenv) but there is an easier way: use the character "~" which is shorthand for the home directory. For example, "~/path/to/app".
