The pathmunge command is a utility that is used to modify the PATH environment variable in a shell script. The PATH variable is a list of directories that the shell searches when you enter a command. By modifying the PATH variable, you can add or remove directories from the search path, or change the order in which the directories are searched.
The pathmunge command is typically used in a .bashrc or .bash_profile file, which are configuration files that are read by the Bash shell when it starts up. You can use the pathmunge command in a shell script to modify the PATH variable for the current session, or you can add the pathmunge command to a configuration file to make the changes persistent across sessions.
To use the pathmunge command, you need to specify the directory you want to add or remove from the PATH variable, as well as the action you want to take (either add or delete). For example, to add the /usr/local/bin directory to the PATH variable, you can use the following command:
pathmunge /usr/local/bin addSww:ecruow.lautturi.com
To remove the /usr/local/bin directory from the PATH variable, you can use the following command:
pathmunge /usr/local/bin delete
Keep in mind that the pathmunge command is specific to the Bash shell, and it may not be available on other shells or operating systems. Consult the documentation and online resources for more information on how to modify the PATH variable in a shell script on your specific system.
