NAME
       modules - PQ IRDB directory software configuration

DESCRIPTION
       A  modules argument describes a particular Implicit Relational Database
       (IRDB) directory or network address.   The  -m  option  of  pq(1)  must
       describe a directory, and the pq_open call of pq(2) can describe either
       a directory or a network address.  The syntax for modules arguments  is
       described  below.   The  dirmod  and netmod arguments below are modules
       arguments themselves; in this way various modules can be stacked  in  a
       pipeline fashion.  The default modules argument is opt join.

   Directory Modules
       join file
              Attach  to  one  or  more  directories listed in file.  Relative
              paths are prefixed with /lib/pq.

       call [ netmod  ... ]
              Connect to the network address specified by netmod and  use  the
              pqsrv protocol.

       ev [ name [ data proto lock ] ]
              Specify  the  location of the data, prototype and lock files for
              the ev(7) IRDB name.  With no options, the location  is  assumed
              to  be ".".  If only name is specified, the data file is assumed
              to be in either name/Data or D.name.   Likewise,  the  prototype
              and  lock files are sought in name/Proto or P.name and name/Lock
              or L.name, respectively.  If name is not an absolute pathname it
              is assumed to be relative to /lib/pq.

       opt [ dirmod ]
              Optimize the performance of the module argument.

FILES
