+ If the ``<path>`` is ``~`` or starts with ``~/``, the ``~`` is replaced by
+ the user's home directory. The path to the home directory is obtained from
+ environment variables. On Windows, the ``USERPROFILE`` environment variable
+ is used, falling back to the ``HOME`` environment variable if ``USERPROFILE``
+ is not defined. On all other platforms, only ``HOME`` is used.
