Environment variables CALCPATH A :-separated list of directories used to search for resource filenames (*.cal files) that do not begin with: / ./ ../ ~ If this variable does not exist, a compiled value is used. Typically compiled in value is: .:./cal:~/cal:${CALC_SHAREDIR}:${CUSTOMCALDIR} which is usually: .:./cal:~/cal:/usr/share/calc:/usr/share/calc/custom This value is used by the READ command. It is an error if no such readable file is found. The CALCBINDINGS file searches the CALCPATH as well. CALCRC On startup (unless -h or -q was given on the command line), calc searches for files along the :-separated $CALCRC environment variable. If this variable does not exist, a compiled value is used. Typically compiled in value is: ${CALC_SHAREDIR}/startup:~/.calcrc:./.calcinit which is usually: /usr/share/calc/startup:~/.calcrc:./.calcinit Missing files along the $CALCRC path are silently ignored. CALCBINDINGS On startup (unless -h or -q was given on the command line), calc reads key bindings from the filename specified in the $CALCRC environment variable. These key bindings are used for command line editing and the command history. If this variable does not exist, a compiled value is used. Typically compiled in value is: bindings The bindings file is searched along the CALCPATH. Unlike the READ command, a .cal extension is not added. If the file could not be opened, or if standard input is not a terminal, then calc will still run, but fancy command line editing is disabled. NOTE: If calc was compiled with GNU-readline support, the CALCBINDINGS facility is ignored and the standard readline mechanisms (see readline(3)) are used. HOME This value is taken to be the home directory of the current user. It is used when files begin with '~/'. If this variable does not exist, the home directory password entry of the current user is used. If that information is not available, '.' is used. PAGER When invoking help, this environment variable is used to display a help file. If this variable does not exist, a compiled value is used. Typically compiled in value is something such as 'more', 'less', 'pg' or 'cat'. SHELL When a !-command is used, the program indicated by this environment variable is used. If this variable does not exist, a compiled value is used. Typically compiled in value is something such as 'sh' is used. ## Copyright (C) 1999 Landon Curt Noll ## ## Calc is open software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under ## the terms of the version 2.1 of the GNU Lesser General Public License ## as published by the Free Software Foundation. ## ## Calc is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ## ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY ## or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
