Method: Etc.sysconfdir

Defined in:
etc.c

.sysconfdir ⇒ Object

sysconfdir -> String

Returns system configuration directory.

This is typically "/etc", but is modified by the prefix used when Ruby was compiled. For example, if Ruby is built and installed in /usr/local, returns "/usr/local/etc" on other platforms than Windows.

On Windows, this always returns the directory provided by the system.
