Database Directory Structure

  

A LINCKS database includes several files, which we will briefly describe in this section.

  1. The server programs ( monitor, netserv, dbs, and lincks) must reside in the same directory. In the configuration file, we refer to this directory as BINARIES.

  2. Each database resides in its own directory that, in addition to the data storage files, contains the following files:

    In the .lincksrc file, we refer to the directory with all these files as DBDIR.

  3. The server programs writes messages to log files that reside together in a directory. We refer to this directory as LOGDIR.
