<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
|
|
|
|
The $PATH shell variable controls the MINIX search rules. If a command
|
|
<EM>a</EM>.<EM>out</EM> is given, the shell first tries to find an executable file in the
|
|
working directory. If that fails, it looks in various system directories,
|
|
such as /<EM>bin</EM> and /<EM>usr</EM>/<EM>bin</EM>. The which command makes the same search and
|
|
gives the absolute path of the program that will be chosen, followed by
|
|
other occurrences of the file name along the path.
