Annotation of os2sdk/os2doc/libwhere.txt, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: LIBWHERE searches along LIBPATH for filenames matching the specification on
        !             2: the command line. If LIBPATH were an environment variable, the WHERE utility
        !             3: could be used to search along it for the desired files.  Since this is not
        !             4: the case, LIBWHERE must look in the appropriate CONFIG.SYS file and extract
        !             5: the path following the string "libpath=". LIBWHERE then creates an
        !             6: environment variable with this path and invokes WHERE to search along it. The
        !             7: path is easy to find in protect mode, since OS/2 knows which is the boot
        !             8: device and can look in the root directory for CONFIG.SYS.  If LIBWHERE is run
        !             9: in real mode or if you wish to examine a different CONFIG.SYS, you must
        !            10: specify which CONFIG.SYS you wish to use with the /c switch.
        !            11: 
        !            12: Informative messages are sent to STDERR, while the list of filenames is sent
        !            13: to STDOUT.  This means that the list of filenames can be redirected to other
        !            14: programs which take a list of filenames from STDIN (eg. EXEHDR).
        !            15: 
        !            16: Examples:
        !            17: 
        !            18: LIBWHERE *.dll
        !            19: 
        !            20:     Works in protect mode to find all filenames with a .dll extension in the
        !            21:     directories listed in the LIBPATH set in the CONFIG.SYS file in the root
        !            22:     directory of the boot device.
        !            23: 
        !            24: LIBWHERE *.dll | EXEHDR -
        !            25: 
        !            26:     Finds the files *.dll as in the previous example and feeds them to EXEHDR
        !            27:     for analysis.
        !            28: 
        !            29: LIBWHERE /c c:\config.sys *.dll
        !            30: 
        !            31:     In either protect or real mode, find all filenames with a .dll extension
        !            32:     in the directories listed in the LIBPATH set in c:\config.sys.
