- What is an AUX?
- An AUX is a named reference to a directory, like a symbolic link in Unix.
- NeXtMidas has an
AUX table containing the list of AUXes.
- An AUX name can be any legitimate table name.
- An AUX can be a traditional directory name or a URL.
- Special Convention: An AUX path can be defined with a plus sign
taking the place of the user name.
- Example:
/midas/data1/+/ would become /midas/data1/smith/
for a user smith .
- This allows a common AUX configuration to be used for various users who each have
independent data directories.
- Define an AUX entry:
X-Midas Users Take Note: |
In X-Midas, all AUX entries must be identified by a number. NeXtMidas allows the use
of names for the AUX entries.
