Usage

This is a command line interface (CLI) utility. If this utitlity is anywhere in path then you can run this without the need for the full path.

Windows

CMD

 > REM In path:
 > getpath
 > REM or
 > getpath.exe
 > REM Not in path:
 > "C:\full\path\to\getpath.exe"
 > REM replaces:
 > echo %PATH%
 > REM and can be used in any script or other
 > REM program that can execute or call this.

PowerShell

 > # In path:
 > getpath
 > # or
 > & 'getpath.exe'
 > # Not in path:
 > & 'C:\full\path\to\getpath.exe'
 > # replaces:
 > $Env:PATH
 > # and can be used in any script or other
 > # program that can execute or call this.

Linux

Shell/Bash/ZSH/Anything

 $ # In path:
 $ getpath
 $ # Not in path:
 $ /path/to/getpath
 $ # or relative:
 $ ./path/to/getpath
 $ # replaces:
 $ echo $PATH
 $ # and can be used in any script or other
 $ # program that can execute or call this.

Motivation

I wanted a different way to get the path on any operating system for use with other various tools.

Help with Mac

This is currently only compiled in Windows and Linux. If someone is interested in this in Mac/Apple it should run the same and just needs to be compiled. I'm pretty sure you can compile in Apple the same way you would with their version of gfortran:

 $ # Assuming Bash/Shell in Terminal
 $ gfortran getpath.f95 -o getpath

Please feel free to fork or make a pull request; whatever you want.
