I am learning from APUE3e



#include "apue.h"
#include <dirent.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv)
{
DIR *dp;
struct dirent *dirp;
....


In the header, import a user-definded module "apue.h". the program run correctly after compiled.



The apue.h is placed in /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/include,



What confuse me is that /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/include is not in the $PATH but could be retrieved by the program globally.



$ echo $PATH | grep include
#does not return anything.


How could the program get it done?

          $PATH is where the shell looks for executables, not header files. This answer shows how you can get the compiler to show you where it's looking for header files.
