You don't need to care about this function. It is being called for

runs). Calling it again will cause a fatal error.

<p>
Returns the user-specific GIMP settings directory. If the
environment variable GIMP2_DIRECTORY exists, it is used. If it is
an absolute path, it is used as is.  If it is a relative path, it
is taken to be a subdirectory of the home directory. If it is a
relative path, and no home directory can be determined, it is taken
to be a subdirectory of <a class="link" href="libgimpbase-gimpenv.html#gimp-data-directory" title="gimp_data_directory ()"><code class="function">gimp_data_directory()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
The usual case is that no GIMP2_DIRECTORY environment variable
exists, and then we use the GIMPDIR subdirectory of the home
directory. If no home directory exists, we use a per-user
subdirectory of <a class="link" href="libgimpbase-gimpenv.html#gimp-data-directory" title="gimp_data_directory ()"><code class="function">gimp_data_directory()</code></a>.  In any case, we always
return some non-empty string, whether it corresponds to an existing
directory or not.
</p>
<p>
The returned string is owned by GIMP and must not be modified or
freed. The returned string is in the encoding used for filenames by
GLib, which isn't necessarily UTF-8. (On Windows it always is
UTF-8.)
