NAME dtenvvar - CDE environment variables DESCRIPTION The CDE desktop sets up and uses a number of environment variables to find certain files and do certain things. Components tied into CDE then use these environment variables to locate specific types of files. Environment variables used within the CDE desktop are: CEPATH Used by ToolTalk when in Classing Engine mode, where the Classing Engine where to find the databases. Refer to ttsession(1) and tt_type_comp(1) for more information. COLUMNS Set by the terminal emulator. Refer to dtterm(1) for more information. DISPLAY Is set to the associated display name. Refer to dtlogin(1) and ttsession(1) for more information. DTAPPSEARCHPATH Used to search for Application Manager applications. Refer to dtappgather(1) and dtsearchpath(1) for more information. DTDATABASESEARCHPATH Used to collect filetype and action definitions, as expressed in *.dt files. Refer to dtsearchpath(1), dtaction(1), dtactionfile(4), and dtdtsfile(4) for more information. DTHELPSEARCHPATH System specified variable used to locate desktop help files. Refer to dtsearchpath(1) and dthelpgen(1) for more information. DTHELPUSERSEARCHPATH User specified variable used to locate desktop help files. Refer to dtsearchpath(1) and dthelpgen(1) for more information. DTMOUNTPOINT Used to set the name of the file system's mount point, such as '/nfs' or '/net'. Refer to dtspcd(1) and dtsearchpath(1) for more information. DTPRINTCWD If set to an existing, usable directory, this setting causes dtlp(1) to execute the lp command pipeline from that directory. By default, this setting uses the current directory from which dtlp(1) is invoked. Refer to dtlp(1) for more information. DTPRINTFILEREMOVE Remove the file after printing it. This functionality is intended for temporary files generated by components such as the Text Editor and Help system files that don't need to persist beyond the act of printing.

Used by dtstyle(1) to determine the list of available screen savers. Refer to dtstyle(1) for more information. DTSPSYSAPPHOSTS Used by system administrators as an input to dtsearchpath(1) to create the DTAPPSEARCHPATH environment variable. It is the primary environment variable and drives the remaining search paths for filetypes and actions, for desktop icons, and for help files. Refer to dtappgather(1) and dtsearchpath(1) for more information.
