| 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.
