NAME
paths —
default system paths
SYNOPSIS
#include <paths.h>
DESCRIPTION
The
<paths.h> header defines some
default paths used in
NetBSD. All defined constants
are prefixed with
_PATH. The constants include:
- The default user search path set by
login(1) and associated
utilities such as rshd(8).
This is defined by
_PATH_DEFPATH and includes
directories such as /usr/bin and
/usr/local/bin.
- Default paths for some utilities and device nodes.
Examples include such paths as /dev/null
(
_PATH_DEVNULL), /dev/mem
(_PATH_MEM), and /etc/nologin
(_PATH_NOLOGIN), among others.
- Paths for some default directories such as
/dev (
_PATH_DEV) and
/tmp (_PATH_TMP) as well as
paths for some miscellaneous utilities such as
csh(1),
/bin/csh (_PATH_CSHELL).
