GSPATH(1)

💅 gspath — the GNUstep System Manual, but make it cute

okay bestie, welcome to gspath(1), a lil' utility from the GNUstep System Manual that just… tells you where stuff lives. no cap. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

gspath — a utility to display standard directory/path information ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gspath

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically this utility prints out a single directory or path, and the whole point is so that external applications can know what paths the GNUstep system is using. it's giving "here's the map, bestie." 🗺️

it was written to provide information for the GNUstep make package. iconic behavior, honestly.

the gspath utility is called with exactly one argument, and that argument decides what it prints. one (1) argument. not two. not zero. periodt. 💅

---

✨ Arguments ✨

• to display the path to the defaults directory for the current user, use the defaults argument. 💖
• to display the directory search path needed to locate dynamic libraries, use the libpath argument. 🦋
• to display the directory search path needed to locate command-line programs, use the path argument. 🔥
• to display the GNUstep home directory of the current user, use the user argument. 🏠
