Overview
When given a command, the shell automatically does a hash table search for the executable on the directories listed in the PATH
environment variable. The directories should be separated by colons in the list. The conventional places to set PATH
value is in /etc/profile
and ~/.bashrc
. On Macs, the value of the PATH variable is built from the content of /etc/paths
and /etc/paths.d
. For more details see:
