In the TCSH (Tenex C Shell) and CSH (C Shell) shells, you can set the PATH
variable to specify the directories that the shell should search for executables.
To set the PATH
variable in TCSH or CSH, you can use the setenv
built-in command. For example, to set the PATH
variable to include the /usr/local/bin
and /usr/local/sbin
directories, you can use the following command:
setenv PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH
This will add the /usr/local/bin
and /usr/local/sbin
directories to the beginning of the PATH
, and preserve the directories that were already in the PATH
.
You can also use the set path
built-in command to set the PATH
variable in CSH. For example:
set path = (/usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin $path)
This will have the same effect as the setenv
command in TCSH.
It is important to note that the PATH
variable is case-sensitive in TCSH and CSH, and should always be written in uppercase.
For more information about the setenv
and set path
commands and their options, you can consult the documentation for your specific Unix or Linux system.
