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:

    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. Set by the terminal emulator. Refer to dtterm(1) for more information. Is set to the associated display name. Refer to dtlogin(1) and ttsession(1) for more information. Used to search for Application Manager applications. Refer to dtappgather(1) and dtsearchpath(1) for more information. 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. System specified variable used to locate desktop help files. Refer to dtsearchpath(1) and dthelpgen(1) for more information. User specified variable used to locate desktop help files. Refer to dtsearchpath(1) and dthelpgen(1) for more information. 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. 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. 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. Value must be True or False (case is ignored). Default is False. Refer to dtlp(1) for more information. Print the file silently, without posting the PRINT dialog. Value must be True or False (case is ignored). Default is False. Refer to dtlp(1) for more information. Use this value as the name of file as it should appear in the PRINT dialog. Default is print_file. Refer to dtlp(1) for more information. Used to set the default desktop screen saver action list. Used by dtstyle(1) to determine the list of available screen savers. Refer to dtstyle(1) for more information. 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. Used by system administrators as an input to dtsearchpath to create the DTDATABASESEARCHPATH environment variable. Refer to dtsearchpath(1) for more information. Used by system administrators as an input to dtsearchpath to create the DTHELPSEARCHPATH environment variable. Refer to dtsearchpath(1) for more information. Used by system administrators as an input to dtsearchpath to create the XMICONSEARCHPATH and XMICONBMSEARCHPATH environment varables. Refer to dtsearchpath(1) for more information. Used by end users as an input to dtsearchpath to create the DTAPPSEARCHPATH environment variable. Refer to dtappgather(1) and dtsearchpath(1) for more information. Used by end users as an input to dtsearchpath to create the DTDATABASESEARCHPATH environment variable. Refer to dtsearchpath(1) for more information. Used by end users as an input to dtsearchpath(1) to create the DTHELPSEARCHPATH environment variable. Refer to dtsearchpath for more information. Used by end users as an input to dtsearchpath(1) to create the XMICONSEARCHPATH and XMICONBMSEARCHPATH environment variables. Refer to dtsearchpath(1) for more information. Used by dthelptag(1). Refer to dthelptag(1) for more information. Used to control the location of the end user's subdirectory where the Application Manager will be rooted. Also used by the Help system to store data on a per user-session-display basis. Refer to dtappgather(1) or dthelpview(1) for more information.

Refer to dtlp(1) for more information. Is set to /usr/mail/$USER (system dependent). Refer to dtlogin(1) for more information. Used by dtmail(1) as the mailer's startup file. Refer to dtmail(1) for more information. The dtsearchpath(1) utility appends /usr/dt/man to it. Refer to dtsearchpath(1) for more information. Determine the location of message catalogues for the processing of LC_MESSAGES. Refer to dtterm(1) for more information. Is set to the value of the userPath resource. Refer to dtlogin(1) for more information. Is set to the user's default shell (from /etc/passwd). Refer to dtlogin(1) and dtterm(1) for more information. Is set to dtterm the default CDE terminal emulator. Refer to dtterm(1) and dtlogin(1) for more information. Set by the terminal emulator. Refer to dtterm(1)) for more information. Used by ToolTalk. It tells ToolTalk where to find the ToolTalk types database when in XDR mode. Refer to ttsession(1) for more information. This specifies the shell command to be used by all ToolTalk clients for auto-starting ttsession. Refer to ttsession(1) for more information. Used by ToolTalk. It specifies the number of bytes of argument and context values to write when in trace mode. Refer to ttsession(1) for more information. Set by ttsession when it invokes a tool to recieve a message. Refer to ttsession(1) for more information. The ttsession utility uses this varible to communicate its session ID to the tools that it starts. Refer to ttsession(1) for more information. Used to inform the ToolTalk client library that it has been invoked by ttsession. Refer to ttsession(1) for more information.
