NAME
dtenvvar -- CDE environment variables
DESCRIPTION
The CDE desktop sets up and uses a number of environment variables to find certain files and do certain things. Components tied into CDE
then use these environment variables to locate specific types of files. Environment variables used within the CDE desktop are:
CEPATH Used by ToolTalk when in Classing Engine mode, where the Classing Engine where to find the databases. Refer to ttsession(1) and
tt_type_comp(1) for more information.
COLUMNS Set by the terminal emulator. Refer to dtterm(1) for more information.
DISPLAY Is set to the associated display name. Refer to dtlogin(1) and ttsession(1) for more information.
DTAPPSEARCHPATH
Used to search for Application Manager applications. Refer to dtappgather(1) and dtsearchpath(1) for more information.
DTDATABASESEARCHPATH
Used to collect filetype and action definitions, as expressed in *.dt files. Refer to dtsearchpath(1), dtaction(1), dtaction-
file(4), and dtdtsfile(4) for more information.
DTHELPSEARCHPATH
System specified variable used to locate desktop help files. Refer to dtsearchpath(1) and dthelpgen(1) for more information.
DTHELPUSERSEARCHPATH
User specified variable used to locate desktop help files. Refer to dtsearchpath(1) and dthelpgen(1) for more information.
DTINFOLIBSEARCHPATH
Used by dtinfo to locate information libraries on local and remote mounted systems. Refer to dtsearchpath(1) and dtinfogen(1) for
more information.
DTINFOLIBDEFAULT
Used by dtinfo to identify the default information library(s) to load if the -l or -sect option is not specified. Multiple infor-
mation libraries can be specified by a comma separated list. By default, DTINFOLIBDEFAULT is initialized to the CDE infolib cde.

Used to set the name of the file system's mount point, such as '/nfs' or '/net'. Refer to dtspcd(1m) and dtsearchpath(1) for
more information.
DTPRINTCWD
If set to an existing, usable directory, this setting causes dtlp(1) to execute the lp command pipeline from that directory. By
default, this setting uses the current directory from which dtlp(1) is invoked. Refer to dtlp(1) for more information.
DTPRINTFILEREMOVE
Remove the file after printing it. This functionality is intended for temporary files generated by components such as the Text
Editor and Help system files that don't need to persist beyond the act of printing. Value must be True or False (case is
ignored). Default is False. Refer to dtlp(1) for more information.
DTPRINTSILENT
Print the file silently, without posting the PRINT dialog. Value must be True or False (case is ignored). Default is False.
Refer to dtlp(1) for more information.
DTPRINTUSERFILENAME
Use this value as the name of file as it should appear in the PRINT dialog. Default is print_file. Refer to dtlp(1) for more
information.

Used to set the default desktop screen saver action list. Used by dtstyle(1) to determine the list of available screen savers.
Refer to dtstyle(1) for more information.
DTSPSYSAPPHOSTS
Used by system administrators as an input to dtsearchpath(1) to create the DTAPPSEARCHPATH environment variable. It is the pri-
mary environment variable and drives the remaining search paths for filetypes and actions, for desktop icons, and for help files.
Refer to dtappgather(1) and dtsearchpath(1) for more information.
DTSPSYSDATABASEHOSTS
Used by system administrators as an input to dtsearchpath to create the DTDATABASESEARCHPATH environment variable. Refer to
dtsearchpath(1) for more information.
DTSPSYSHELP
Used by system administrators as an input to dtsearchpath to create the DTHELPSEARCHPATH environment variable. Refer to
dtsearchpath(1) for more information.
DTSPSYSICON
Used by system administrators as an input to dtsearchpath to create the XMICONSEARCHPATH and XMICONBMSEARCHPATH environment
varables. Refer to dtsearchpath(1) for more information.

Used by end users as an input to dtsearchpath to create the DTAPPSEARCHPATH environment variable. Refer to dtappgather(1) and
dtsearchpath(1) for more information.
DTSPUSERDATABASEHOSTS
Used by end users as an input to dtsearchpath to create the DTDATABASESEARCHPATH environment variable. Refer to dtsearchpath(1)
for more information.
DTSPUSERHELP
