Mac OS X User Profile folder?

Question

Does anybody know the default environment variables in MAC OS X? What is the variable for user's folder?

For example if the path in MAC OS X is "/Users/someuser/Applications" Then what is the variable for the "someuser"?

Answer 1

Just like on other Unix systems, it's $USER and $LOGNAME. And $HOME is the path to the home directory /Users/someuser.
