Default executable directories
If you type in a command in Bdsh without path will try to find a shell built-in, then it will look into /app
and /srv
. There are other executables in a HelenOS system, namely the DDF-based drivers under /drv
. This directory is not searched as DDF drivers are started automatically by Devman and you never need to run them by hand (although it is possible).
