setenv
Introduction
setenv is a program to set a Global Variable. A Global
Variable is somewhat similar to Environment Variables on some other
systems (hence the name). However, this variant really is global, and can be
accessed and changed by everybody.
Usage
setenv name [value] [-path path]
- name
-
The name of the Global Variable which gets a value.
- value
-
The value for the given name. If the value contains spaces, then
it should be included in double quotes (as usual).
- path
-
If no value is given explicitly, then the given path will be used
as value. This is done to allow the directory which contains a program to
be set automatically (without ever needing configuration) by including
setenv NAME at the very start of the loader file.
