-
- Return the *exec-prefix* for installed platform-*dependent* files. This is

- Unix.
-
- Background: The exec-prefix differs from the prefix when platform dependent
- files (such as executables and shared libraries) are installed in a different
- directory tree. In a typical installation, platform dependent files may be
- installed in the :file:`/usr/local/plat` subtree while platform independent may
- be installed in :file:`/usr/local`.
-
- Generally speaking, a platform is a combination of hardware and software
- families, e.g. Sparc machines running the Solaris 2.x operating system are
- considered the same platform, but Intel machines running Solaris 2.x are another
- platform, and Intel machines running Linux are yet another platform. Different
- major revisions of the same operating system generally also form different
- platforms. Non-Unix operating systems are a different story; the installation
- strategies on those systems are so different that the prefix and exec-prefix are
- meaningless, and set to the empty string. Note that compiled Python bytecode
- files are platform independent (but not independent from the Python version by
- which they were compiled!).
-
- System administrators will know how to configure the :program:`mount` or
- :program:`automount` programs to share :file:`/usr/local` between platforms
- while having :file:`/usr/local/plat` be a different filesystem for each
- platform.
