/// Utility functions for running regular *NIX libraries inside application

/// The GetBundle*Directory functions return the paths of directories inside
/// the appliaction bundle where the application can store static data and
/// shared libraries for its own use.

/// When linking with this library, be sure to add '-framework CoreFoundation'
/// to the GCC commandline.

/// @note All strings returned by these functions are allocated by strdup(), it is
/// the responsibility of the caller to free() them.
