1.5.7 Admin Tools

The Admin Tools location contains tools and executable scripts that are only useful to the system administrator. A normal user wouldn’t have enough privileges to use these applications in a useful way.

In GNUmakefiles, the Admin Tools location is available via the GNUSTEP_ADMIN_TOOLS variable, which is the location for the domain in which the software will be installed. You can also reference the locations in the various domains directly by using the variables GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ADMIN_TOOLS, GNUSTEP_NETWORK_ADMIN_TOOLS, GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ADMIN_TOOLS and GNUSTEP_USER_ADMIN_TOOLS.

In gnustep-base, the Admin Tools locations are available by using the GSAdminToolsDirectory directory key for NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains().
