NAME

       mpapi.conf - configuration file for libMPAPI

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/mpapi.conf

DESCRIPTION

       The  /etc/mpapi.conf  file  is used to specify the vendor-provided plugin library that is installed on the system. This file is used by the
       libMPAPI(3LIB) common library to load the individual plugin library when its interface is called. If changes are made to the file while the
       library	is  in	use,  the  library  should  be unloaded and reloaded. Addition and removal of the plugin library should be handled through
       MP_RegisterPlugin(3MPAPI) and MP_DeregisterPlugin(3MPAPI).

       Each plugin library entry is a single line of the form:

	 "id"	     "library file name"

       where

       id		    The identification of library.  It is the resersed domain name of the vendor followed by "." followed  by  the  vendor
			    specific name of the plugin thatuniquiely identifies the plugin library.

       library file name    The  shared  object library file in the absolute path format.
