DESCRIPTION

This is defined by _PATH_DEFPATH and includes directories such as /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin. · 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. · Paths for some default directories such as /dev (_PATH_DEV) and /tmp (_PATH_TMP) as well as paths for some miscellaneous utili- ties such as csh(1), /bin/csh (_PATH_CSHELL).
