<p>Add directories <var>pathdir</var> to beginning of search path for source files.
If the &lsquo;<samp>-r</samp>&rsquo; option is used, the search path is reset to the default
search path.  If directories <var>pathdir</var> are supplied in addition to the
&lsquo;<samp>-r</samp>&rsquo; option, the search path is first reset and then addition
occurs as normal.
Multiple directories may be specified, separated by blanks.  Specifying
multiple directories in a single command
results in the directories added to the beginning of the
search path in the same order they were presented in the command.
If blanks are needed as
part of a directory name, double-quotes should be used around
the name.  In the command output, the path will show up separated
by the system directory-separator character.  The directory-separator
character must not be used
in any directory name.
If no directories are specified, the current search path is displayed.
