How to get the user's logs folder in cocoa (NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains possibly)

cocoa, macos, macos-carbon

Solution

There is no `NSSearchPathDirectory` option for `~/Library/Logs` in Apple's docs, so you have to use `NSLibraryDirectory` and build the rest up yourself:

NSArray *URLs = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLsForDirectory:NSLibraryDirectory 
                                                       inDomains:NSUserDomainMask];
NSURL *logsURL = [[URLs lastObject] URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"Logs"];
NSString *logsPath = [libraryURL path];

Problem

I'm porting a Carbon application to Cocoa and am looking for the equivalent of `kLogsFolderType` in Cocoa, which currently would return `/Users/me/Library/Logs` I have seen `NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains` with the associated types, but can't find a value that would be an equivalent.
