XL Fortran Enterprise Edition for AIX : User's Guide - IBM

v /usr/share/man/info/en_US/xlf/postscript contains the PostScript format of the
English XL Fortran publications.
You must also copy the /etc/xlf.cfg file from the server to the client. The /etc
directory contains the configuration files specific to a machine, and it should not be
mounted from the server.
Correct Settings for Environment Variables
You can set and export a number of environment variables for use with the
operating system. The following sections deal with the environment variables that
have special significance to the XL Fortran compiler, application programs, or both.
Environment Variable Basics
You can set the environment variables from shell command lines or from within
shell scripts. If you are not sure which shell is in use, a quick way to find out is to
issue an echo $0. This provides a different result in each shell:
$ sh
$ echo $0
sh
$ ksh
$ echo $0
ksh
$ csh
% echo $0
No file for $0.
%
The Bourne shell path is /bin/sh, the Korn shell path is /bin/ksh, and the C shell
path is /bin/csh.
To set the environment variables so that everyone on the system has access to
them, set the variables in the file /etc/profile (for the Bourne or the Korn shell), or
set the variables in the file /etc/csh.login or in the file /etc/csh.cshrc (for the C
shell). To set them for a specific user only, add the appropriate commands to the
appropriate .profile or .cshrc file in the user’s home directory. The variables are set
the next time the user logs on.
For more information about setting environment variables, see the AIX Commands
Reference.
The following examples show how to set environment variables from various
shells.
From the Bourne or Korn shell:
NLSPATH=/usr/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N:/usr/lib/nls/msg/prime/%N
LANG=en_US
TMPDIR=/home/joe/temp
export LANG NLSPATH TMPDIR
From the C shell:
setenv LANG en_US
setenv NLSPATH /usr/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N:/usr/lib/nls/msg/prime/%N
setenv TMPDIR /home/joe/temp
To display the contents of an environment variable, enter the command
echo $var_name.
