not sure if there is a function to explicitly get it, but there is a
function to get environment variables, and it should be there as $HOME.  
man getenv to be sure, but I think the syntax is:

path=getenv("HOME") where path is a char*

someone is going to tell you how wonderful overclocking is, so you need to
protect yourself and avoid taking unnecessary risks.
