is the control path to the library robotic

driver on this client host.

is the name of the device definition used on this client

host.

You need one line per device for which you request direct access.

The

libtab

file is located on:

\libtab

on Windows systems

/opt/omni/.libtab

on HP-UX and Solaris systems

/usr/omni/.libtab

on other UNIX systems

Example files follow for all systems involved. Definitions are separated
by blank lines, which are ignored. Since the default library robotics are
defined on the host

dupin.company.com

, no

libtab

file is needed on this

system.

TIP

It is possible to have only one

libtab

file that includes definitions for all

systems involved and is distributed to all such systems. In this case,
when a specific system needs “direct access” to the library robotic, the
definitions for other systems are ignored and only the definitions for the
system are used.
