While developing Pkcs11Admin - multiplatform application written in C# - I was trying to figure out where to store log file so it can be easily reached by the user on all supported operating systems - Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
To avoid hardcoding I wanted to use System.Environment.SpecialFolder enumeration but I was not quite sure which member (ENM) to choose because the documentation does not contain the actual paths. So I have created simple test application which dumps these paths and executed it on Windows 8.1 with .NET Framework 4.5 (WIN), on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Mono 3.2.8 (LIN) and on Mac OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite with Mono 3.10.0 (OSX).
