NAME

       hba.conf - configuration file for the HBAAPI library

DESCRIPTION

       The  /etc/hba.conf  file is used to specify the Vendor-Specific Libraries that are installed on the system. This file is used by the Common
       Library to load the individual VSLs when HBA_LoadLibrary(3HBAAPI) is called. If changes are made to the file while the library is  in  use,
       the library should be freed and reloaded. A version 1 VSL is compatible only with a version 1 Common Library. A version 2 VSL is compatible
       with both a version 1 and a version 2 Common Library.

       Each VSL entry is a single line of the form:

	 "name"        "library path"

       where:

       name	       is the description of library. The library name should be prepended with the domain of the manufacturer of the library.

       library path    is the absolute path to the shared object library file.

BUGS

       The  HBAAPI is provided in both 32- and 64-bit versions, but only one configuration file is specified. As a result, both 32- and 64-bit VSL
       libraries must be specified within the same file. When using the 32-bit Common Library, the 64-bit VSLs will fail to load. When	using  the
       64-bit  Common  Library,  the 32-bit VSLs will fail to load. These failures are silently ignored by the Common Library during normal usage,
       but can result in warning messages when running client applications in a debugger.
