### 33.2 Share

The Maxima "share" directory contains programs and other files of interest to Maxima users, but not part of the core implementation of Maxima. These programs are typically loaded via `load` or `setup_autoload`.

`:lisp *maxima-sharedir*` displays the location of the share directory within the user’s file system.

`printfile ("share.usg")` prints an out-of-date list of share packages. Users may find it more informative to browse the share directory using a file system browser.
