Home Directory of the Current User¶
UserHomeDir returns the current (real) user's home directory.
If the code is run by a non-root user named some_user on Linux,
then the returned home directory is /home/some_user.
However,
if some_user has sudo access and run the code using sudo,
then the real user user is root
and the returned home directory is /root.
