Hello [at first: i am not new to developing software, but i am slightly new to developing linux-software :)] i'm just developing an command line tool for linux (c++), which has to save its data into a single file in the filesystem, undependently from running user. its handling is best described like or compared with "updatedb". there is only one data-file for all users. in which folder should i create the application's data-file, and whats about the needed rights on it? can this application "ask" for getting needed privileges like on windows? is there a special folder intended for handling such things? if yes, what folder? kind regards for any help hagen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-programming+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-programming+help@opensuse.org
