Arguments: name
On UNIX, name must be a string. This function
returns a pathname with the directory component holding the named
user's home directory. Returns nil if
name is not recognized by the system.
On Windows, name "~" causes the system to poll the HOME environment variable. If that variable has a value, it is returned. "C:\\" is returned if HOME has no value.
See os-interface.htm for general information on the interface to the operating system.
