                <para><command>systemd-path</command> may be used to
                query system and user paths. The tool makes many of
                the paths described in
                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>file-hierarchy</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
                queriable.</para>

                <para>When invoked without arguments a list of known
                paths and their current values is shown. When at least
                one argument is passed the path with this is name is
                queried and its value shown. The variables whose name
                begins with <literal>search-</literal> don't refer to
                individual paths, but instead a to a list of
                colon-separated search paths, in their order of
                precedence.</para>
