I'm assuming, tbqh; the manpage doesn't really specify. Note that here libc incorrectly translates sysdir_search_path_domain_mask_t as an enum when it's a bitmask, so there's no potential for unsafety currently, but I'm being conservative.

I did see that libc issue, yeah.

I'm confident that it's not an issue though, the only way I could imagine it would work differently is if they decided in the future to use the rest of the integer for flags, and one of those flags doing something unsound. But that sounds improbable given that we're using the API in exactly the intended / documented fashion.

(It sounds a lot more likely to me that they'd add a new API if they really needed some new functionality).

pub unsafe fn new(
home: &'a Path,
kind: libc::sysdir_search_path_directory_t,
mask: libc::sysdir_search_path_domain_mask_t,
) -> Self {
// SAFETY: forwarded to the caller
let state = unsafe { libc::sysdir_start_search_path_enumeration(kind, mask) };
Self { home, state }
}
}

impl Iterator for Iter<'_> {
type Item = io::Result<PathBuf>;

fn next(&mut self) -> Option<io::Result<PathBuf>> {
let mut buf = [0u8; libc::PATH_MAX as usize];
if self.state != 0 {
// SAFETY: `self.state` is nonzero and comes from prior sysdir_{start|get_next}_search_path_enumeration call
// SAFETY: sysdir_get_next_search_path_enumeration will write at most `PATH_MAX` bytes to `path`
self.state = unsafe {
libc::sysdir_get_next_search_path_enumeration(
self.state,
buf.as_mut_ptr() as *mut c_char,
)
};
}

if self.state == 0 {
// exhausted
return None;
}

let Ok(path) = CStr::from_bytes_until_nul(&buf) else {
// should be impossible given username length limits, but be defensive
return Some(Err(const_error!(
ErrorKind::InvalidData,
"standard user directory path too long",
)));
};

let Ok(path) = path.to_str() else {
// should be impossible on a working system, but be defensive
return Some(Err(const_error!(
ErrorKind::InvalidData,
"standard user directory path not valid UTF-8",
)));
};
