mbk_work_lib

MBK_WORK_LIB(1) 					     MBK ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES						   MBK_WORK_LIB(1)

NAME

       MBK_WORK_LIB - define the mbk working directory

SYNOPSYS

       c-shell running
       setenv MBK_WORK_LIB unix path

ORIGIN

       This  software  belongs	to  the  ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in
       Paris, France.

       Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/
       E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr

DESCRIPTION

       MBK_WORK_LIB sets the directory where are saved the results of an invocation of mbk or genlib. This directory is considered to be, from	an
       mbk point of view, read and write.
       Also,  when  a  file  is  searched  for	reading,  the  first  directory  to  be looked at is the MBK_WORK_LIB, and then the one defined in
       MBK_CATA_LIB(1).
       The unix path argument must be a actually accessible path on your host machine.

ERRORS

       "mbk_fopen : can't open file 'unix_path/file.xx'"
	      This occurs when either the unix path is irrelevent, or when the file doesn't exist if it is open for reading,  or  when	you  don't
	      have the right on the file or directory while trying to write it.

EXAMPLE

	    setenv MBK_WORK_LIB ~fred/crechan/uom

SEE ALSO

       mbk(3), genlib(1), MBK_CATA_LIB(1).
