NAME

     paths -- default system paths

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).
