NAME
paths -- default system paths SYNOPSIS
#include <paths.h> DESCRIPTION
The <paths.h> header defines some default paths used in NetBSD. All defined constants are prefixed with _PATH. The constants include: o The default user search path set by login(1) and associated utilities such as rshd(8). This is defined by _PATH_DEFPATH and includes directories such as /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin. o Default paths for some utilities and device nodes. Examples include such paths as /dev/null (_PATH_DEVNULL), /dev/mem (_PATH_MEM), and /etc/nologin (_PATH_NOLOGIN), among others. o Paths for some default directories such as /dev (_PATH_DEV) and /tmp (_PATH_TMP) as well as paths for some miscellaneous utilities such as csh(1), /bin/csh (_PATH_CSHELL). SEE ALSO
whereis(1), sysexits(3), types(3), hier(7) CAVEATS
The <paths.h> header is specific to NetBSD. BSD

createhomedir(1)					    BSD General Commands Manual 					  createhomedir(1)

NAME
createhomedir -- create and populate home directories on the local computer. SYNOPSIS
createhomedir [-scbalh] [-n directoryDomainName] [-u username] DESCRIPTION
createhomedir provides several options for creating and populating home directories. OPTIONS
-s creates home directories for server home paths only (default). -c creates home directories for local home paths only. -b creates home directories for both server and local home paths. -a creates home directories for users defined in all directory domains of the server's search path. -l creates home directories for users defined in the local directory domain. -n directoryDomainName creates home directories for users defined in a specific directory domain in the server's search path. -u username creates a home directory for a specific user defined in the domain(s) identified in the -a, -l, or -n parameter. If you omit the -a, -l, and -n parameters when you use the -u parameter, -a is assumed. -i reads username list from standard input and creates specified home directories. Each username should be on its own line. -h usage help. FILES
/usr/sbin/createhomedir location of tool CAVEATS
When using the -a option, search limits of various directory servers (such as Open Directory or Active Directory) can prevent all possible home directories from being created. In this case, you may need to specify the usernames explicitly. Mac OS X June 1, 2019 Mac OS X
