At least the code needs to break lines at different point and a comment.
if (user_config &&
access(user_config, R_OK) &&
(xdg_config && !access(xdg_config, R_OK)))
/*
* Even if we have usable XDG stuff, we want to
* error out on missing HOME!!!
*/
use xdg config;
else if (user_config)
use user config;
else
unusable situation;
But is it really true that we want to error out on missing HOME if
we have usable XDG stuff?
