PATHS(3)		 BSD Library Functions Manual		      PATHS(3)

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 utili‐
	       ties such as csh(1), /bin/csh (_PATH_CSHELL).

SEE ALSO
     whereis(1), sysexits(3), types(3), hier(7)

CAVEATS
     The <paths.h> header is specific to NetBSD.
