22.4 Preselected program pathnames ¶

MBFL uses some external programs for its inner workings, especially from the GNU Coreutils and GNU Findutils packages; the file system pathnames of these programs is selected at package–configuration time and hard–coded in library’s source code.

We may want to use these program pathnames, either directly or as argument to other programs, for example find, as in:

find -type f -exec "$mbfl_PROGRAM_CHOWN" marco:users '{}' ';'

The following global variables are available to access those file system pathnames.
