NAME

sethome − show (or specify alternate) home directory

SYNOPSIS

sethome [ homedir ]

DESCRIPTION

The system maintains a data base giving the home directory and terminal type for each user.  This information is initialized at login − the home directory defaults to the user’s login directory as given in the password file, and the terminal type is determined from the information in the ttytype data base.  If no homedir is given, the current home directory is typed, otherwise the home directory entry is changed to the specified home directory. 

FILES
