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).
