pathfind

pathfind(3G)															      pathfind(3G)

NAME

       pathfind() - search for named file in named directories

SYNOPSIS


DESCRIPTION

       searches  the  directories  named  in  path for the file name.  The directories named in path are separated by colons.  mode is a string of
       option letters chosen from the set

							       Letter	Meaning
							       ---------------------------
								 r	readable
								 w	writable
								 x	executable
								 f	normal file
								 b	block special
								 c	character special
								 d	directory
								 p	FIFO (pipe)
								 u	set user ID bit
								 g	set group ID bit
								 k	sticky bit
								 s	size nonzero

       Options read, write, and execute are checked relative to the real (not the effective) user ID and group ID of the current process.

       If the file name, with all the characteristics specified by mode, is found in any of the directories specified  by  path,  then	returns  a
       pointer to a string containing the member of path, followed by a slash character followed by name.

       If name begins with a slash, it is treated as an absolute path name, and path is ignored.

       An  empty  path	member	is treated as the current directory.  is not prepended at the occurrence of the first match; rather, the unadorned
       name is returned.

       To use this interface, link in the libgen library by specifying For example:

RETURN VALUE

       If no match is found, returns a null pointer,

EXAMPLES

       To find the command using the environment variable:

WARNINGS

       The string pointed to by the returned pointer is stored in a static area that is reused on subsequent calls to
