Hopefully a straight forward question...

Many/most/all unix applications seem to allow you to specify a file name
as ~/.somfunkyfile, in which the users home directory is substituted for
the ~ character. Is this behavior the responsibility of the application,
or is it handled at a lower level, perhaps by the standard library?

Regards,

Shaun
