ksh(1) OSS Shell and Utilities Reference Manual
FPATH The search path for function definitions. This path is searched when a function with
the -u attribute is referenced and when a command is not found. If an executable file is
found, then it is read and executed in the current environment.
IFS Internal field separators, normally spaces, tabs, and newlines that are used to separate
command words which result from command or parameter substitution and for separat-
ing words with the read special command. The first character of the IFS parameter is
used to separate arguments for the $* substitution. (See Quoting.)
HISTFILE
If this parameter is set when the shell is invoked, then the value is the pathname of the
file that will be used to store the command history. (See Command Reentry.)
HISTSIZE
If this parameter is set when the shell is invoked, the number of previously entered
commands that are accessible by 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 Specifies the locale of your system, which is comprised of three parts: language, terri-
tory, and code set. The default locale is the C locale, which specifies the value English
for language, U.S. for territory, and ASCII for code set.
LC_ALL
Specifies the behavior for all aspects of the locale.
LC_COLLATE
Specifies the collating sequence to use when sorting names and when character ranges
occur in patterns. The default value is the collating sequence for American English. If
absent, the collating sequence can be taken from the LANG parameter. If both
LC_COLLATE and LANG are absent, the ANSI C collating sequence is used.
LC_CTYPE
Specifies the character classification information to use on your system. The default
value is American English.
LC_MESSAGES
Specifies the language in which system messages appear and the language that the sys-
tem accepts for user input of yes and no strings. The default is American English.

LC_TIME
Specifies the date and time format for your system. The default value is the date and

filled.
