Shell Interaction§
DByteOS uses a simulated autopath. When you type a command, the shell looks in bin/ and other registered paths.
Autopath Configuration§
The autopath is managed in sys/session.dby and typically enabled in .dbyterc:
@shell dbyteos_autopath on
Aliases§
Common aliases are defined in .dbyterc to provide a familiar experience:
@shell alias help = run bin/help.dby
@shell alias dir = ls
@shell alias whereami = pwd
