B.2.2 Shell Startup Files
-------------------------

The distribution contains shell startup files 'gawk.sh' and 'gawk.csh',
containing functions to aid in manipulating the 'AWKPATH' and
'AWKLIBPATH' environment variables.  On a Fedora GNU/Linux system, these
files should be installed in '/etc/profile.d'; on other platforms, the
appropriate location may be different.

'gawkpath_default'
     Reset the 'AWKPATH' environment variable to its default value.

'gawkpath_prepend'
     Add the argument to the front of the 'AWKPATH' environment
     variable.

'gawkpath_append'
     Add the argument to the end of the 'AWKPATH' environment variable.

'gawklibpath_default'
     Reset the 'AWKLIBPATH' environment variable to its default value.

'gawklibpath_prepend'
     Add the argument to the front of the 'AWKLIBPATH' environment
     variable.

'gawklibpath_append'
     Add the argument to the end of the 'AWKLIBPATH' environment
     variable.
