Path(V1.3 in C:) (2.x/3.x internal)
NAME
Path - Set or display the CLI search path for
executable files.
SYNOPSIS
1.3:
Path [SHOW] [ADD or RESET] Dir(S) [QUIET]
2.X/3.X:
Path [SHOW] [ADD or RESET OR REMOVE] Dir(S)
[QUIET]
DESCRIPTION
The Path command lets you add directories to the
places AmigaDOS looks for executable programs. By
default AmigaDOS looks in the current directory, and then
in the C: logical device (set by using Assign). You can
add directories to search between these two points by
using Path. Note that you can use wildcards when
specifying directories to search to Path. If a wildcard
is specified, the first directory which matches the
wildcard pattern will be added. Any number of directories
can be added to the path with one command.
This command may also be used to display the current
search path.
OPTIONS
ADD
This option allows you to add directories to the
current path. Note that you do not need to use this
keyword, if you simply type directories as arguments,
this action is implied. The new directory will get
searched for after the other user-specified directories,
but before the C: directory.
SHOW
This displays the current path. The same behavior may
be obtained by simply using Path without any arguments.
RESET
This will replace the old path with the new path you
specify. If you do not specify any directories to
search, the Path defaults to the current directory, and
then to C:. It is not possible currently to remove these
two directories from the path. If more than one directory
is added, then each directory name is seperated by a
space.
QUIET
This prohibits displaying requestors for disks which
are not mounted when displaying the path with SHOW. If
you use this switch, and the disks are not currently
mounted (i.e., in a disk drive) then only the volume name
will be displayed.
REMOVE
2.x/3.x only: this lets you delete one or more
directories from the search path. If more than one
directory is named then they must be seperated by spaces.
EXAMPLES
1) To add drives df1: and df2: to the searchpath:
Path ADD df1: df2:
2) To reset the path to search drives one and two:
Path RESET df1: df2:
3) To add the first directory found on DF1: that
begins with the letter b.
Path ADD DF1:b#?
