DEFAULT(F) XENIX System V DEFAULT(F)
Name
default - Default program information directory.
Description
The files in the directory /etc/default contain the default
information used by system commands such as backup(ADM) and
remote(C). Default information is any information required
by the command that is not explicitly given when the command
is invoked.
The directory may contain zero or more files. Each file
corresponds to one or more commands. A command searches a
file whenever it has been invoked without sufficient
information. Each file contains zero or more entries which
define the default information. Each entry has the form:
keyword
or
keyword=value
where keyword identifies the type of information available
and value defines its value. Both keyword and value must
consist of letters, digits, and punctuation. The exact
spelling of a keyword and the appropriate values depend on
the command and are described with the individual commands.
Any line in a file beginning with a number sign (#) is
considered a comment and is ignored.
