NAMEdtenvvar — 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 ttses‐
sion(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), dtac‐
tionfile(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 informa‐
tion.
DTHELPUSERSEARCHPATH
User specified variable used to locate desktop help files.
Refer to dtsearchpath(1) and dthelpgen(1) for more informa‐
tion.
DTINFOLIBSEARCHPATH
Used by dtinfo to locate information libraries on local and
remote mounted systems. Refer to dtsearchpath(1) and dtinfo‐
gen(1) for more information.
DTINFOLIBDEFAULT
Used by dtinfo to identify the default information library(s)
to load if the -l or -sect option is not specified. Multiple
information libraries can be specified by a comma separated
list. By default, DTINFOLIBDEFAULT is initialized to the CDE
infolib cde.
DTMOUNTPOINT
Used to set the name of the file system's mount point, such
as '/nfs' or '/net'. Refer to dtspcd(1m) 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 direc‐
tory. 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 per‐
sist beyond the act of printing. Value must be True or False
(case is ignored). Default is False. Refer to dtlp(1) for
more information.
DTPRINTSILENT
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.
DTPRINTUSERFILENAME
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.
DTSCREENSAVERLIST
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.
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 dtsearch‐
path(1) for more information.
DTSPSYSDATABASEHOSTS

create the DTDATABASESEARCHPATH environment variable. Refer
to dtsearchpath(1) for more information.
DTSPSYSHELP
Used by system administrators as an input to dtsearchpath to
create the DTHELPSEARCHPATH environment variable. Refer to
dtsearchpath(1) for more information.

create the XMICONSEARCHPATH and XMICONBMSEARCHPATH environ‐
ment varables. Refer to dtsearchpath(1) for more informa‐
tion.
DTSPUSERAPPHOSTS
Used by end users as an input to dtsearchpath to create the
DTAPPSEARCHPATH environment variable. Refer to dtapp‐
gather(1) and dtsearchpath(1) for more information.
DTSPUSERDATABASEHOSTS
Used by end users as an input to dtsearchpath to create the
DTDATABASESEARCHPATH environment variable. Refer to

the XMICONSEARCHPATH and XMICONBMSEARCHPATH environment vari‐
ables. Refer to dtsearchpath(1) for more information.

configuration ocf file. If the ocf_file argument is NULL,
DtSearchInit looks for an ocf file with a base name of either
dtsearch.ocf or austext.ocf in the directory specified by
DTSROCFPATH, in the current working directory, or in the HOME
directory, in that order.
