• AUX
    • Short for "disk AUXiliary" this stores the default directories for reading and writing files.
    • There are three main components to the AUX:
      AUX List
      The list of directories that can be used in either the Read AUX or the Write AUX. Each entry is stored as <ID>=<PATH> and can subsequently be referred to by ID.
      Read AUX
      The list of ID's (in order) to search when trying to read a file.
      Write AUX
      The ID of the path to the default output directory.
    • The use of the AUX allows applications to be written in a disk-configuration-independent manner. Each site can just alter their AUX entries as needed to match their local configuration.
