2.8.2. Macros Not Specific to a Software Collection
The table below shows a list of macros that are not specific to a particular Software Collection. Because these macros are not relocated and do not point to the Software Collection file system, they allow you to point to the system root file system. These macros use
_root as a prefix.
All the macros have default values that you will not need to change in most cases.
