#'
#' @rdname catr_set_cache_dir
#'
#' @description
#' Store your `cache_dir` path on your local machine for future sessions.
#' Type `Sys.getenv("CATASTROESP_CACHE_DIR")` to find your cached path or
#' use [catr_detect_cache_dir()].
#' @encoding UTF-8
#'
#' @param cache_dir Path to a cache directory. On `NULL`, the function
#'   stores cached files in a temporary directory (see [base::tempdir()]).
#' @param install Logical. If `TRUE`, installs the key on your local
#'   machine for use in future sessions. Defaults to `FALSE`. If `cache_dir`
#'   is `FALSE`, this argument is set to `FALSE` automatically.
#' @param overwrite Logical. If `TRUE`, overwrites an existing
#'   `CATASTROESP_CACHE_DIR` already present on your machine.
#' @param verbose Logical. If `TRUE`, displays informational messages.
#'
#' @details
#' By default, when no `cache_dir` is set, the package uses a folder inside
#' [base::tempdir()] (so files are temporary and are removed when the **R**
#' session ends). To persist a cache across **R** sessions, use
#' `catr_set_cache_dir(cache_dir, install = TRUE)` which writes the chosen
#' path to a small configuration file under
#' `tools::R_user_dir("CatastRo", "config")`.
#'
#' @return
#' `catr_set_cache_dir()` returns an (invisible) character with the path to
#' your `cache_dir`, but it is mainly called for its side effect.
#'
#' @section Caching strategies:
#'
#' Some files can be read from their online source without caching using the
#' option `cache = FALSE`. Otherwise the source file is downloaded to
#' your computer. \CRANpkg{CatastRo} implements the following caching options:
#'
#' - For occasional use, rely on the default [tempdir()]-based cache (no
#'   install).
#' - Modify the cache for a single session setting
#'   `catr_set_cache_dir(cache_dir = "a/path/here")`.
#' - For reproducible workflows, install a persistent cache with
#'   `catr_set_cache_dir(cache_dir = "a/path/here", install = TRUE)`.
#'   This cache is kept across **R** sessions.
#' - For caching specific files, use the `cache_dir` argument in the
#'   corresponding function.
#'
#' Sometimes cached files may be corrupt. In that case, try re-downloading
#' the data setting `update_cache = TRUE` in the corresponding function.
#'
#' If you experience any problem downloading, try downloading the
#' corresponding file by another method and save it in your
#' `cache_dir`. Use the option `verbose = TRUE` for debugging the API query
#' and [catr_detect_cache_dir()] to identify your cached path.
#'
#' @note
#'
#' In \CRANpkg{CatastRo} >= 1.0.0 the location of the configuration file has
#' moved from `rappdirs::user_config_dir("CatastRo", "R")` to
#' `tools::R_user_dir("CatastRo", "config")`. We have implemented a
#' functionality that migrates previous configuration files from one
#' location to another with a message. This message appears only once
#' informing of the migration.
