Description

paths displays the contents of $PATH, $MANPATH and $INFOPATH, listing each directory on a separate line and marking duplicates.

For example:

   $ paths
   PATH:
     /home/wybo/bin
     /local/bin
     /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux/
     /usr/local/sbin
     /usr/local/bin
     /usr/sbin
     /usr/bin
     /sbin
     /bin
     /usr/games
   MANPATH:
     ./man
     /local/man
     /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf/doc/man
   INFOPATH:
     /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf/doc/info

Directories that occur more than once in the path will be marked with asterisks, for example:

   $ PATH=/local/bin:$PATH paths
   PATH:
   **/local/bin
     /home/wybo/bin
   **/local/bin
     /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux/
     /usr/local/sbin
     ...

With the Red{-c} option, ANSI coloring wil be used to mark doubles, instead of asterisks:

   $ PATH=/local/bin:$PATH paths
   PATH:
     Red{/local/bin}
     /home/wybo/bin
     Red{/local/bin}
     /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux/
     /usr/local/sbin
     ...
