AIPS++ variable names

A standard set of variable names is used in AIPS++ scripts, makefiles and elsewhere to refer to AIPS++ directories (§1.1). Except for $AIPSPATH, these are not stored in the environment but instead are rederived from $AIPSPATH whenever needed.

These variable names are freely used in this manual with the following typographic conventions:

: AIPSPATH ...the name of the variable.
: $AIPSPATH ...the value of the AIPSPATH variable, whether used as an environment variable or makefile variable.
: $(AIPSPATH) ...the value of the AIPSPATH variable used as a makefile variable.

Additional variables used by the AIPS++ makefiles are described in the entries for makedefs (p

) and makefiles (p

). ROOT = the AIPS++ home directory, also referred to as ~aips++
ARCH = the machine architecture, e.g. sun4, convex, etc.
SITE = the local site name
HOST = the host name

   AIPSPATH = $ROOT $ARCH $SITE $HOST
 
   AIPSROOT = $ROOT
   AIPSARCH = $ROOT/$ARCH
   AIPSSITE = $ROOT/$ARCH/$SITE
   AIPSHOST = $ROOT/$ARCH/$SITE/$HOST
 
   AIPSMSTR = $AIPSROOT/master
   AIPSLAVE = $AIPSROOT/slave
   AIPSRCS  = $AIPSROOT/rcs
   AIPSCODE = $AIPSROOT/code
   AIPSDOCS = $AIPSROOT/docs
 
   MSTRETCD = $AIPSMSTR/etc
 
   CODEINSD = $AIPSCODE/install
   CODEINCD = $AIPSCODE/include

   INSTARCH = $CODEINSD/$ARCH
 
   LIBDBGD  = $AIPSARCH/libdbg
   LIBOPTD  = $AIPSARCH/lib
   BINDBGD  = $AIPSARCH/bindbg
   BINOPTD  = $AIPSARCH/bin
   BINTESTD = $AIPSARCH/bintest
 
   ARCHTMPD = $AIPSARCH/tmp
   ARCHAUXD = $AIPSARCH/aux
   ARCHBIND = $AIPSARCH/bin
   ARCHDOCD = $AIPSARCH/doc
   ARCHMAN1 = $ARCHDOCD/man1
