4.8 Other Environment Variables

The behavior of the system depends on the value of some environment variables. For instance, an environment variable specifies the partitioning method to be used in building the transition relation. The value of environment variables can be inspected and modified with the `set' command. Environment variables can be either logical or utility.

Environment Variable: autoexec
Defines a command string to be automatically executed after every command processed by the command interpreter. This may be useful for timing commands, or tracing the progress of optimization.

Environment Variable: filec
Enables file completion a la "csh". If the system has been compiled with the "readline" library, the user is able to perform file completion by typing the TAB key (in a way similar to the file completion inside the "bash" shell). If the system has not been compiled with the "readline" library, a built-in method to perform file completion a la "csh" can be used. This method is enabled with the `set filec' command. The "csh" file completion method can be also enabled if the "readline" library has been used. In this case the features offered by readline will be disabled.

Environment Variable: shell_char
shell_char specifies a character to be used as shell escape. The default value of this environment variable is `!'.

Environment Variable: history_char
history_char specifies a character to be used in history substitutions. The default value of this environment variable is `%'.

Environment Variable: open_path
open_path (in analogy to the shell-variable PATH) is a list of colon-separated strings giving directories to be searched whenever a file is opened for read. Typically the current directory (`.') is first in this list. The standard system library (NuSMV_LIBRARY_PATH) is always implicitly appended to the current path. This provides a convenient short-hand mechanism for reaching standard library files.

Environment Variable: nusmv_stderr
Standard error (normally stderr) can be re-directed to a file by setting the variable nusmv_stderr.

Environment Variable: nusmv_stdout
Standard output (normally stdout) can be re-directed to a file by setting the internal variable nusmv_stdout.

Environment Variable: nusmv_stdin
Standard input (normally stdin) can be re-directed to a file by setting the internal variable nusmv_stdin.
