direnv.toml(1) man page: Unclear configuration file path #928
Description
Describe the bug
The current version of the direnv.toml man page
says that the configuration file can be placed at CONFIGURATION_DIR/direnv.toml. Is CONFIGURARTION_DIR a standard envvar or direnv specific one? I think I've not heard about it before. The section then says
For many users, CONFIGURATION_DIR will be located at $HOME/.config/direnv/direnv.toml.
This is not a correct statement, because $HOME/.config/direnv/direnv.toml is a file path, not a dir path as indicated by the environment variable name.
Is $CONFIGURATION_DIR maybe an older environment variable that was used before the project scoped $DIRENV_CONFIG
Expected behavior
Either way there is a standard that should be used (XDG), no need to invent our own stuff!
The only thing that should be needed to say in the manual is to place your configuration file at
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/direnv/direnv.toml
$CONFIGURATION_DIR and $DIRENV_CONFIG should probably be phased out, or at least keep only one of them for simplicity.
The good thing is that the direnv(1) manual is already using XDG paths:
