5.1.7.28. PATHΒΆ
Help of the DOS Command PATH
Displays or sets a search path for executable files.:
PATH [[drive:]path[;...][;%PATH%]
PATH ;
Type PATH ;
to clear all search-path settings and direct cmd.exe to search only in the current directory. Type PATH
without parameters to display the current path. Including %PATH%
in the new path setting causes the old path to be appended to the new setting. e.g.:
SET PATH=C:\some\new\priority\dir;%PATH%
OR:
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\some\new\fallback\dir;
As you can imagine, priority dir will take precedence and fallback dir would not.
