PATHS(3) |
paths —
default system paths
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).
The <paths.h> header is specific
to NetBSD.
