DEFAULT(M)               XENIX System V                DEFAULT(M)



     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(C) 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.
