# Deepin Application Specification {#Specification}
Every application should keep the rule in this document.
## 1. Application Information
Application should set the property Organization-name and Application-name.
Organization/Application name can contains alphabet, number and other visible ASCII code, BUT space MUST NOT appear in the name. And we do not approve
of no-ASCII code character in the Organization/Application name
Application can stay Organization-name empty, but it should always set an Application-name.
## 2. Standard Path
The log, configure and runtime cache of Application should store in specific path.
**If Organization-name is empty, "{Organization-name}/" would not appear in path.**
### 2.1 User Application Standard Path
As an application run for user session, the Standard path should be:
````bash
XGD_LOG_HOME_DEEPIN:
Where deepin-user-specific log should be written.
XGD_USER_HOME/.log
DAPP_CONFIG_HOME:
Where application-specific configurations should be written.
XDG_CONFIG_HOME/{Organization-name}/{Application-name}
DAPP_LOG_HOME:
Where application-specific log should be written.
XGD_LOG_HOME_DEEPIN/{Organization-name}/{Application-name}
DAPP_CACHE_HOME:
Where application-specific cache files should be written.
XGD_CACHE_HOME/{Organization-name}/{Application-name}
DAPP_DATA_HOME:
Where application-specific data files should be written.
$XDG_DATA_HOME/{Organization-name}/{Application-name}
````
Simple example:
The dde-dock is offcial application of deepin and the standard path will be:
````bash
DAPP_CONFIG_HOME: $HOME/.config/deepin/dde-dock
DAPP_LOG_HOME: $HOME/.log/deepin/dde-dock
DAPP_CACHE_HOME: $HOME/.cache/deepin/dde-dock
DAPP_DATA_HOME: $HOME/.local/share/deepin/dde-dock
````
### 2.2 System Application Standard Path
Application run as system daemon, or with user with no home directory should place it's file in this standard path:
````bash
DAPP_CONFIG_SYS:
/etc/{Organization-name}/{Application-name}
DAPP_LOG_SYS:
/var/log/{Organization-name}/{Application-name}
DAPP_DATA_SYS:
/usr/share/{Organization-name}/{Application-name}
DAPP_CACHE_SYS:
/var/cache/{Organization-name}/{Application-name}
````
