This manual corresponds to version {No value for ‘version’} of the Kpathsearch library, released in {No value for ‘month-year’}.
The library’s fundamental purpose is to look up a file in a list of directories specified by the user.
The following software, all of which I maintain, uses this library:
The library is still under development. I do not promise to keep the interface unchanged. If you have comments or suggestions, please send them to me (@pxref{Bugs} for the address).
Currently, I distribute the library under the GNU General Public License (@pxref{Copying}). In summary, this means if you write a program using the library, you must (offer to) distribute the source, and allow anyone to modify the source and distribute their modifications.
If you have a problem with this, please contact me. I would consider putting the library under the GNU Library General Public License, which would permit you to distribute the source only to the library, not the your program using it. But I will only do this if someone actually says they will not use the library under the GPL conditions, and would use it under the LGPL.
This manual contains a few references to the C source for the library; they’re there to help programmers reconcile my statements in this documentation with the Awful Truth of the code. If you’re not a programmer, just ignore them.
