CSR (COMMAND_SEARCH_RULES) -- Set or display command search rules.
usage: CSR {[dir ...] | [-A dir...]}
FORMAT
CSR {[directory ...] | [-A dir_name]}
Command search rules determine which directories the Shell examines to find
commands. CSR lets you display or change this list. If a new shell is
invoked, or a new shell script run, the new shell inherits the search rules of
the invoking shell. By default, the Shell looks for commands in this order:
1. Your working directory ("."), or the directory specified by the
command's pathname.
2. Your personal command directory, ~COM (the COM subdirectory of your
naming directory).
3. The system command directory, /COM.
Refer to Chapter 3 of the DOMAIN System Command Reference Manual for a
detailed discussion of command search rules.
ARGUMENTS
Specifying CSR without arguments displays the current command search rules.
directory
(optional) Specify new command search sequence. Multiple directory
pathnames are permitted; separate names with blanks. The
Shell will search the directories in the order that you
specify.
OPTIONS
-A dir_name Append the specified directory name(s) to the existing
command search sequence. This allows you to add a new
directory to the end of the list without retyping the
entire list. Multiple directory pathnames are permitted;
separate names with blanks. You cannot specify this option
if you have already specified any directory pathnames as
arguments.
EXAMPLES
1. $ csr Display current search rules.
. ~com /com
2. $ csr . ~com //us/myproj/com /com Set new search sequence by adding
an additional command directory.
3. $ csr -a ~com/special_commands Append the directory
~com/specoal_commands to the
current list of directory names.
