Use

About Use

Use is a tool that allows the casual user to modify some of their current shell's environment variables in accordance to defined products. Some examples include:

  • use -u sudo (Configure PATH and MANPATH so that they reference the location of sudo and its manual page.)
  • use -u qt3_3_6 -q (Configure PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that they reference Qt executables and libraries. QTDIR and QMAKESPEC may also be set depending upon your use.table. The -q option specifies that use should run in silent mode.)
  • use -d sudo (Configure PATH and MANPATH so that they no longer reference the location of sudo and its manual page.)
