Paths to external app cache folder
See original GitHub issueHow do I get to the path of Context.getExternalCacheDir() using this shell? In the lib I was currently using (org.sufficientlysecure.rootcommands), I could just do (in Kotlin): context.externalCacheDir.absolutePath.replace("/storage/emulated/0","\$EXTERNAL_STORAGE") and it worked, with this lib it doesn’t. Is there any difference? How could I accomplish the same thing across all device models?

I thought it did apply since there seemed to be a difference between the libraries. But in the end it was my fault, since some devices have magisk that don’t need -mm and older ones had your rooting that did require it. When I omitted -mm the cache dir wasn’t visible to the root shell. Thanks for responding!
