results of command or parameter substitution, any sequence of IFS characters serves to
delimit words; otherwise, each occurrence of a character in IFS serves to delimit a word.
If the value of IFS is null, no word splitting is done.
HISTFILE If this parameter is set when the shell is invoked, its value is the path name of the file that
is used to store the command history. The default value is $HOME/.sh_history.If
the user is a superuser and no HISTFILE is given, then no history file is used. See the
"Command Reentry" subsection and the WARNINGS section.
HISTSIZE If this parameter is set when the shell is invoked, the number of previously entered com-
mands accessible to this shell will be greater than or equal to this number. The default is
128.
HOME The default argument (home directory) for the cd command.
LANG The locale of your system, which is made up of three parts: language, territory, and code
set. The default is the C locale. See environ(5).
LC_ALL The overriding value for LANG and the LC_* variables. See environ(5).
LC_COLLATE The collating sequence to use when sorting names and when character ranges occur in pat-
terns. See environ(5).
LC_CTYPE The character classification information to use. Changing the value of LC_CTYPE after
the shell has started does not affect the lexical processing of shell commands in the current
shell execution environment or its subshells. See environ(5).
LC_MESSAGES
The language in which system messages appear, and the language that the system expects
for user input of yes and no strings. See environ(5).
LC_MONETARY
The currency symbol and monetary value format. See environ(5).
LC_NUMERIC The numeric format. See environ(5).
LC_TIME The date and time format. See environ(5).
LINES If this variable is set, the value is used to determine the column length for printing
select lists. select lists print vertically until about two-thirds of LINES lines are
filled.
MAIL If this parameter is set to the name of a mail file and the MAILPATH parameter is not set,
the shell informs the user of arrival of mail in the specified file.
MAILCHECK How often (in seconds) the shell checks for changes in the modification time of any of the
files specified by the
MAILPATH or MAIL parameters. The default value is 600 seconds.
When the time has elapsed, the shell checks before issuingthe next prompt.
MAILPATH A list of file names separated by colons. If this parameter is set, the shell informs the user
of any modifications to the specified files that have occurred within the last MAILCHECK
seconds. Each file name can be followed by a ? and a message to be printed, in which case
the message will undergo parameter and command substitution with the parameter $_
defined as the name of the changed file. The default message is you have mail in
$_
.
NLSPATH The search path for message catalogs, a list of directories separated by colons.
PATH The search path for commands, a list of directories separated by colons. See the "Execu-
tion" subsection.
PS1 The value of this parameter is expanded for parameter substitution, to define the primary
prompt string. The default value is "$ ". The character ! in the primary prompt string is
replaced by the command number. See the "Command Reentry" subsection.
PS2 Secondary prompt string for command completion. The default value is "> ".
PS3 Selection prompt string used within a select loop. If unset, it defaults to "#? ".
PS4 Execution trace string that precedes each line of an execution trace. See the set -x spe-
cial command. If unset, it defaults to "+ ".
