ENVIRONMENT

     The PATH environment variable is used to locate the requested utility if the name contains no '/' characters.

EXIT STATUS

     If utility is invoked, the exit status of setfib is the exit status of utility.

     An exit status of 126 indicates utility was found, but could not be executed.  An exit status of 127 indicates utility could not be found.
