Path(V1.3) ARP User's Manual Path(V1.3)
NAME
Path - Set the CLI search path for executable files.
SYNOPSIS
Path Dir/... ADD/s SHOW/s RESET/s QUIET/s
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. As usual
with ARP commands, any number of directories can be added
to the path with one command.
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.
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.
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.
EXAMPLES
Path ADD df1: df2:
Add drives df1: and df2: to the searchpath
Path RESET df1: df2:
Reset the path to search drives one and two.
Path ADD DF1:b*
The above command will add the first directory found on DF1:
that begins with the letter b.
