Similar in functionality to <a class="link" href="libxfce4util-Miscellaneous-Utilities.html#xfce-get-homefile" title="xfce_get_homefile()"><span class="type">xfce_get_homefile</span></a>, but uses a user
defined <em class="parameter"><code>buffer</code></em> instead of allocating a new buffer.
</p>
<p>
xfce_get_homefile_r uses safe string operations, that says, it garanties
that the resulting string is always zero terminated, as long as the
<em class="parameter"><code>length</code></em> is greater than zero.

<p>
Safe way to retrieve the path to the user's ".xfce4" directory. The path
to the current user's ".xfce4" directory is either taken from the
environment variable XFCE4HOME if defined, or if unset, is gained by
concatenating the path to the user's home directory and the ".xfce4".
That says, it will, by default, return the path "$HOME/.xfce4", where
$HOME is replaced with the absolute path to the user's home directory.
</p>
<p>
The returned string is managed by libxfce4util and must not be freed by
the caller.
