In computing, dpath
is an internal cmd.exe command on IBM OS/2[1] and Microsoft Windows[2][3] that allows using a set of files with the TYPE
command and with input redirection as if they are in the current directory. On Windows it is undocumented and deprecated. dpath
differs from the append
command in the way it operates. dpath
informs programs what directories they should search in order to find computer files. It is then up to the applications to recognize %DPATH%
. Using the append
command on the other side, programs are able to find files without recognizing that the command is in effect.
