qsetpath(1)

NAME

qsetpath - Set parameters of Quintus utilities and runtime applications

SYNOPSIS

qsetpath [ -aadd-ons ] [ -rruntime-directory ]

[ -qquintus-directory ] [ -hhost-type ]
[ -bbanner-message ] filename ...

DESCRIPTION

qsetpath sets parameters for the executable files. The executable files specified must be Quintus Prolog utilities, such as qpc and qld, runtime applications built using the Quintus Prolog Runtime Generator, prolog(1), or executables generated with qld(1). There are five settable paths, <add-ons string>, <runtime directory>, <quintus directory>, <host type> and <banner message>. <add-ons string> identifies the Quintus add-on products that are included in the executable. <runtime directory> and <quintus directory> are used in the executable to find certain files relative to the those paths. <host type> identifies the platform of the installation. <banner message> is the banner displayed upon the start-up of the executable. The paths except <banner message> can be obtained through prolog command prolog_flag(<path flag>, <Variable>) where <path flag> is add_ons for <add-ons string>, runtime_directory for <runtime directory>, quintus_directory for <quintus directory>, and host_type for <host type>.

OPTIONS

-aadd-ons
Set the add-ons identification string of the specified executables to <add-ons string>.

-rruntime-directory
Set the <runtime directory> of the specified executables to runtime-directory. The specified runtime- directory must be an absolute path.

-qquintus-directory
Set the <quintus directory> of the specified executables to quintus-directory. The specified quintus- directory must be an absolute path.

-h/host-type
Set the <host type> of the specified executables to host-type. There must be a "/" proceeding host-type. A host-type should be in the form of <machine type>, <machine type>-<major O.S. version>, or <machine type-<major O.S. version>.<minor O.S. version>.

-bbanner-message
Set the displayed banner message for the specified executables to banner-message.

ERRORS

Setting banner message has partial or no effects on certain executables.

Argument specification must following the option immediately. There is no white space allowed between an option and its argument.
