- 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.
